LEARN MORE ABOUT MEGGAN
I took my first yoga class in a college gym in 2007. As I began exploring this new type of exercise, I started to understand that yoga is not simply a workout. Taking classes with numerous teachers in a variety of styles around the South has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the ancient lineage of yoga and how it translates into everyday life. I have been fascinated by the physiology and kinesiology of the body for almost two decades; I am a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant in Tennessee and Florida. I completed a 200-hour Hatha yoga teacher training with Balance and Breathe Yoga in 2022, and I am also certified in paddleboard yoga. My classes are typically a blend of slow flow and yin with the opportunity to utilize many modifications to explore the shapes within your own body.
Mission Statement:
I want each and every person to feel a connection with their body in my yoga classes. It is easy to fall into a desire to move your body into an “ideal” or “perfect” shape, but that is not necessary to experience the benefits of movement and connection. I hope that students who attend my classes can gain understanding of how shapes appear in their bodies, and how their bodies change from day to day. It is also my wish that I can impart some deeper yogic wisdom and can help students find deeper meaning in their yoga practice. Everyone leaving my class will hopefully feel accomplished, challenged, and cared for.
Yoga Teaching Mantra:
I teach because I want students to learn more about themselves, both physically and on a deeper level. The benefits in our lives as we gain this deeper understanding of ourselves allows us to live a more experiential existence.
