Thom Knoles is an American-Australian teacher and practitioner who spent 25 years studying under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi before establishing himself as an independent guide within the Shankaracharya tradition. He hosts The Vedic Worldview podcast, a series that explores the mechanics of consciousness and the intersection of ancient wisdom with modern physics. Through his structured Rounding Retreats, he facilitates intensive immersion programs designed for deep physiological rest and the release of accumulated stress. Knoles frequently produces long-form Knowledge Tracks and specialized Ask Thom Anything segments, where he interprets Vedic philosophy to address contemporary challenges such as relationship dynamics and personal evolution. He recently launched a dedicated Sedona Rounding Retreat series, expanding his high-ticket immersion offerings for students seeking advanced instruction. His approach avoids emotional hyperbole, instead providing a mechanical and intellectual framework for mindfulness that appeals to institutional leaders and creative professionals internationally.
