Malcolm Bowles

Malcolm is a clinical social worker, an ordained Zen Buddhist lay-priest, and an RYT 500 yoga teacher. Empathy and compassion are the cornerstones of his clinical work in community mental health and social justice, and his work and values influence his teaching.

Malcolm’s teaching is practical and accessible while remaining deeply rooted in Zen tradition. He teaches meditation as an embodied practice, like yoga, allowing the practice of curiosity to develop our capacity for self-compassion.
