This week, Nkechi Njaka, (http://www.ndnlifestylestudio.com/) joins us for a beautiful and indulgent conversation around the power of mindfulness and presence. We talk about:

  • The connection between neuroscience and mindfulness
  • pairing dance and music with meditation
  • the ego and what it means to us
  • the subconscious
  • and so much more!
  • Meet Nkechi:

    Nkechi Deanna Njaka is a neuroscientist, artist, meditation guide, and public speaker in SF. She is the founder of NDN lifestyle studio, co-founder of Sitting Matters, holding Art in Residency placements at Saint Joseph’s Arts Foundation and the Kennedy Center. She is an Advisor of Chorus Mediation and an SF lululemon ambassador for her work in mindfulness.

    She has spent most of her life investigating the relationship between the brain and the body and has always felt the significance of their integration. Through her work, research, practice, and study, she discovered that mindfulness and creativity are crucial for sustaining individual and global wellbeing. Her work intersects wellness, science, art, and social practice.

    Her expertise has been recognized by Google, goop, Lincoln, Calm, Apple Square, Forbes, LinkedIn, Dropbox, Instagram, Adobe, YBCA, the Kennedy Center, Yoga Journal, Bon Appetite, Blood + Milk, Wanderlust, Maria Shriver, Black Girl in Om, UC Berkeley, Georgetown, and Welcome to We, to name a few.

    When not publicly speaking on mindfulness, guiding people in wellness or somatic practices, Nkechi is the founder of The Compass, co-host of the podcast Dating White and the other 1/2 of the music and mindfulness project RESONANCE. Nkechi also enjoys travels around the world (pre-pandemic) with her creative partner and best friend Anna-Alexia Basile to make art.
