About Us
Tim Kretzmann, who makes the Ananda meditation
benches, has been a professional woodworker since 1978
and has been making meditation benches since 1982. Tim
has meditated daily since 1977, so he deeply values the
opportunity to make a fine quality bench that can aid others
in this invaluable and transforming practice.
Tim has lived at Ananda Village, a yoga and meditation
community, since 1978, and has thus been able to develop
the high quality of his meditation benches to the satisfaction
of many customers during this time.
Tim Kretzmann
Over the years he has made everything from kitchen cabinets, fine furniture, doors and
windows to musical instruments in his custom woodworking shop high on a ridge in
the beautiful Sierra foothills in northern California. Now he primarily builds the
meditation benches and hammer dulcimers, an ancient instrument that is the
forerunner of the piano. He is also an accomplished hammer dulcimer player, and as
part of the duo known as Joyfull Strings has released seven Cd's.
