About Andy Puddicombe
Andy Puddicombe is a meditation and mindfulness expert. In his early twenties, midway through a university degree in Sports Science, he traveled to the Himalayas to study meditation. It was the beginning of a ten year journey which took him around the world, culminating with ordination as a Tibetan Buddhist monk in Northern India. In 2004, he trained briefly at Moscow State Circus and then returned to London to complete a degree in Circus Arts. He co-founded Headspace, a project to make meditation more accessible to more people in their everyday lives.
