Meghan first stepped on a yoga mat over 20 years ago and immediately fell in love. Having always been active, Meghan found yoga to be a new kind of movement that really spoke to her – it taught her that she could slow down, turn inward and feel at home in her body. Meghan completed her 200-hour yoga teacher-training program through YogaWorks under the expert guidance of Annie Carpenter in 2010, where she learned intelligent sequencing and alignment principles that have been invaluable to her as a teacher. Since then she has trained in trauma-informed yoga, yin yoga, Buddhist meditation, Yoga Nidra, and completed a 150-hour yoga mentorship.
Meghan is also a mother of two young girls as well as Seattle-based psychotherapist/coach/group leader with a thriving private practice. Her classes aim to be soulful, creative, grounding and joyful – with a little challenge thrown in there too.
Meg took her first yoga class with her dad when she was 13 years old. As a former college cross country and track runner and avid snowboarder, she always kept some sort of yoga practice in her routine. Meg practiced mostly hot 26 until she found shefayoga in 2020 and began to practice vinyasa on the regular. She was on the path to becoming a special education teacher when she really fell in love with the practice and decided to deep dive into yoga.
Meg, studio manager at hauteyoga Queen Anne, offers a slow burn vinyasa. She invites her students to focus on the sensations and feel of the postures in her classes, rather than worrying about striking the perfect pose. Meg believes that yoga is not just about the Asana practice, but that yoga is a lifestyle and a philosophy and she strives to live it on and off the mat.
