Mother Gopi Gita is a parent, educator and executive coach.   The secret to her remarkable ability to support developing children of all ages, and their families, lies in the inspiration she takes from her lifelong practice of Bhakti yoga and its deeply loving approach to life and relationships.   Applying the principles of this philosophy as a carer or educator means truly seeing and hearing children – it illuminates the way to meet their needs, allowing them to grow to reach their healthiest and most successful potential.

Gopi is the vice principal of TKG Academy, a private school in Dallas that focuses on leadership, service and immersive, intrinsically motivated learning.  She is also an educational consultant for the ISKCON Ministry of Education and the founder of the Bhakti Leadership Academy, through which she and her team mentor teenagers throughout North America in leadership principles grounded in eastern spiritual practices.   Over the past 20 years as an educator and parent coach, Gopi has served more than 1000 children, mentored more than 500 parents and personally guided more than 100 educators.  She is trained in the Waldorf and Montessori philosophies of education, and has a degree in child psychology.

Gopi has practiced Bhakti yoga since childhood, attending morning temple before school for 18 years while growing up in America.  To this day, she practices daily mantra meditation, now with her husband and two young adult sons in Dallas.
