Yoga Therapy with Meg

Come Back to Balance

I am Meg. My Dharma is to educate and deliver Yoga and wellness lifestyles to you!

I work alongside your existing care team, to support “whole person” recovery, in body, mind and with spirit, to sustain a balanced way of “living”. Through collaboration, we practice a breath based movement program, including personalized breathing education, mindfulness, meditation and sometimes even hugging Goldie!

I offer both in-person sessions in South Orange County, California, online sessions, small group classes and an annual Yoga Retreat in the Redwoods.

Testimonials

  • I met Megan in 2020, when I was a Mentor in the online Yoga Step by Step Team 52 online training guided by Puduvai Kalaimamani Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani. Over the years our relationship has grown and matured and I can continue to praise Megan as a sadhaka who is committed to gaining self-awareness through the study and practice of yoga. As a passionate teacher, she is also an enthusiastic student, always ready to put in her best effort to overcome the cultural, linguistic and conceptual challenges that the Yoga Darshan (the traditional philosophy of yoga) presents to all of us who were not born in India. She has committed to serve as a bridge between the teachings and anyone she comes into contact with. To share the path in a teacher-student relationship has been my greatest honor and I rejoice in the knowledge that her offerings bring joy, solace, and inspiration to others.
