Welcoming you here prompts me to think about how I found my own way “here”— to a study, practice and appreciation of yoga; to friendship and connection in a circle of yoga practitioners; to a trusting, loving relationship with myself; to gratitude and awe for the experience of this life.
Discomfort, curiosity, ego, and grace brought me to yoga. The first teachers I met on this path exuded a sense of belonging to themselves and awareness of their interconnection with nature. They seemed clear, confident, and caring. They appeared to move with joy, to feel freely, to communicate compassionately and to be in relationship with something greater than themselves. I wanted to move toward that, and I have.
I found greater ease in my body and am inspired to sustain that ease of movement as I grow older. I learned how to observe my mind and shift into an empowered relationship to my thoughts and feelings. I use these tools daily to quiet anxious tendencies, choose process over perfection and build self trust. I engage a regular practice of pranayama and meditation that reveal a steady clear presence within. It is my desire and ongoing work to infuse that essence being-ness that is full of joy into all that I do.
Yoga practice fosters the transformation of intentions into reality and that is why I am here: to hear your intentions – the attendant doubt and resistance, to see your potential, and connect you with skills, perspective and support to build and welcome a new reality—one where you are restfully at home with yourself and consciously engaged in your relationships and responsibilities.
I can tell you about my certifications, continuing ed courses and years of experience but it is perhaps most important to know that I am an ongoing student and that this is what I encourage of you. As you embark on this path of in-depth studies and teacher training, understand that your sharing is powered by your practice. I look forward to sharing with you and supporting your practice in 2026. In Joy, Meghan
