Kevin Courtney is a meditation, mindfulness, and conscious leadership expert. He offers practitioners an effective and accessible pathway to personal transformation through his one-on-one mentorship company, INSIGHT, an event series known as The Eightfold Path, weekly meditations on IG Live, and collaborations with iFit, Gaia Online, and The Class.
In his twenties, Kevin found himself consumed by work in business development and consulting for companies like Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, and GM. His high-paced career was met by two cataclysmic events: being diagnosed with a life-threatening stage of cancer & witnessing the tragedy of 9/11 from just a few blocks away. He knew he was destined for a different path.
Kevin abruptly left his corporate career, committing himself to the study of psychology, yoga, and meditation. A life-long student, Kevin centered his 25 years of learning in the teachings of Richard Freeman, Swami Satchidananda, Nikki Costello, and Rod Stryker. Rooted in the teachings and in practice, he founded his company INSIGHT in 2013, a one-on-one program designed to awaken the consciousness of high-impact leaders through the science of meditation and contemplation.
His work has been featured in Human Shift, Well + Good, VOGUE, The New York Times, VICE, and YOGA The Secret of Life.
His album Nada Sadhana, an ideal instrumental soundtrack for bodywork sessions, yoga classes, walking meditation, or relaxation, has over 6 million plays on Spotify.
Kevin currently lives in Santa Monica, CA, and continues expanding his teachings' reach through mentorship, online meditations, workshops, and retreats.

INSIGHT + THE EIGHTFOLD PATH
INSIGHT is a one-on-one program designed to awaken the consciousness of high-impact leaders through the science of meditation and contemplation. This dynamic training system represents Kevin’s personal journey of inner development and is the distillation of countless hours ushering individuals toward their greatest potential. Since 2013, INSIGHT has supported top executives in finance, technology, global politics, and wellness.
The Eightfold Path is a multi-year exploration into the eight limbs of yoga anchored in an annual week-long retreat and supported with seasonal digital and in-person events open to all. The heartbeat of The Eightfold Path is a vibrant and diverse community brought together by a common drive for a deeper understanding of the Self. This steady and potent revealing of the nature of who we are harnesses the ancient power of Vedanta and Tantra to offer a direct path to our sense of aliveness, clarity, and purpose with practices that are designed to integrate and flourish our lives well beyond the mat.
DHYANA (Spring 2025) is the next in-person retreat in The Eightfold Path. To be the first to receive details about events and retreats, join Kevin’s community newsletter here.
