Toby Sola

Toby Sola received the name Yushin (“playful authenticity”) and was empowered to teach meditation by Shinzen Young. Toby has been practicing and teaching meditation for more than two decades, and trained for a year and a half at a monastery.

When Toby writes guided meditations, his motto is “make it as simple as possible, but no simpler”. So he takes deep and transformational concepts and practices, and explains them in simple and practical ways. Making things as simple as possible—but no simpler—leads to efficient and effective learning and growth. Toby Sola is also an award-winner designer and founder of the Brightmind meditation app.
