Brenda Ramos is a mindfulness-based meditation teacher rooted in the Insight Meditation tradition, offering practices in Vipassana, Shamatha, and Metta. She’s trained through *MNDFL’s 300-hour teacher training*, the 2-year *Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program*, and the *Mindfulness Mentor Training with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield* through Sounds True. Born and raised in Hoboken and Jersey City Heights, Brenda brings deep local roots and a commitment to practicing in community. As a life coach and movement guide, she weaves nervous system wisdom, embodied presence, and radically inclusive care into every space she holds. She enjoys a light–hearted tone and reminds her students that the practice isn’t about perfection—it’s about finding their living balance. She comes to us as her whole self: caregiver, mama, daughter, sister, titi, friend, cat companion, dark chocolate snob, program director at a nonprofit, and proud night owl. A lover of rhythm, her favorite sounds include Salsa, old school Hip Hop, and Afro Latine House—preferably with room to dance. Brenda once danced for 32 hours straight and won a salsa marathon. Thirty-two. Hours. Want to know more?
