Will Schneider

Will Schneider is a yoga, breathwork and meditation teacher based in New York City, and the co-host and co-founder of the Men Talking Mindfulness podcast. He describes himself as an entrepreneur and speaker as well as a teacher, and his Insight Timer page lists his work as yoga, breathwork, meditation and cognitive fitness.

On the Men Talking Mindfulness site, Will writes that he has been teaching and practicing for 19 years, and that he enjoys working with long-time practitioners as well as students who have never tried these practices or have only dabbled. He says that stripping away fancy words and esoteric language has helped his students embody the practices in a meaningful and sustainable way. That approach, he says, led to his being named one of the most sought-after teachers in New York City (ClassPass, 2017). His Insight Timer page also describes him as recognized among the best NYC yoga teachers in 2017.

Will is a Stanford University-trained Ambassador of Compassion. With co-host Jon Macaskill, a former Navy SEAL, he started Men Talking Mindfulness as a podcast and movement. It is built on the belief that men need spaces for honest conversations about what really matters, and the two hosts sit down each week with leaders, experts and everyday men. The show's mission is to turn awareness into action.

His own invitation is to explore what you can become by working with these practices, with self-mastery as the aim. Outside of teaching, he lists people, adventure, the great outdoors, reading, exploring the mind and human optimization among the things he loves.
