Emma Pittaway
Emma Pittaway teaches an open ‘natural awareness’ approach that emphasises meditation as a way of being in the world. Her style is drawn from 25 years experience in the Burmese lineage of Mahāsī Sayādaw, via her primary teacher Patrick Kearney, and her training with Sayādaw U Tejaniya.

She is the principal insight teacher at the Kuan Yin Meditation Centre in Lismore, NSW.
