About Hannah Knapp
Hannah Knapp is the cofounder of WITHIN Meditation, San Francisco's first drop-in meditation studio. She has been meditating since 2012, when she dove in head-first with a 10-day Vipassana retreat. Coming out of that experience, she knew she needed a community to practice with: there was just nothing like meditating with other people.
Her passion for sharing the power of mindfulness has led her to launch (and lead) group meditations wherever she’s worked. Before founding WITHIN, Hannah spent 8 years as head of PeopleOps with a tech startup, seeing the company through many transitions. During that time, she developed a deep passion for building great company culture, which she now helps others create as an executive coach for emerging leaders.
Through mindfulness, she’s developed a deep resilience, focus, and capacity to love that she draws on every day, both as the mom of two young children and as a start-up founder. As a wellness mentor, she integrates mindfulness with positive psychology and nutrition to help her clients meet their health goals and develop the inner resilience they need to embrace life's challenges. She’s delighted to be leading meditation sessions in the studio and in offices throughout the Bay Area, while building an amazing team of teachers at WITHIN.
