The Beatles need no introduction to anyone of any age. By every measure — artistically, culturally and commercially — they’re arguably one of the most significant rock bands of all time.

But I was lucky enough to get to know him and learn lifelong lessons from him that I use as an author, yoga therapist and wellness consultant for C-suite leaders.

He had inspired my interest in Eastern philosophy and Indian music as a teen, and I studied both in college at the University of California Los Angeles. I started Transcendental Meditation (TM) as he did and found my way to India where I visited the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi — the very place where George Harrison activated his own spiritual journey.
