The training I took with Meg, was one of the best experiences in my life.

Her authenticity, her capacity to transmit, to share all her wisdom and knowledge about yoga from the heart, with such dedication, respect and humility was mind-blowing.

She has such a special way to create a sacred space and leave everything to unfold as it is meant to be, leaving me the space I needed to explore and grow, in my own way.
— Marika McGoldrick
 
 

The 9-month-long program will be a deep-dive into the 7 Chakras, our 7 power centers that enliven our bodies, minds and spirits and empower us to live vital and meaningful lives.

Each month we will pull from a variety of wisdom traditions to help us inhabit each of these centers and integrate a sense of agency, freedom, and joy into our everyday lives.

Kind words from students

 
Meg teaches from a place steeped in timeless wisdom; she leads from a place rooted in unwavering equanimity; she listens from a place of boundless curiosity; she hears from a place of unfaltering understanding; and she holds each being in her life with the power and tenderness of unconditional love.
— Lauri Glenn
I have never trusted a teacher more than I have, her. She makes me feel seen and capable. She shows up in a powerful, creative, loving, wise way. I see her as a woman who has made it to the other side, who has been initiated by life and because of this, offers wisdom from a deep, powerful, and loving place. She is a gifted guide and loving teacher.
— Jennifer Shields
 
 
I signed up for Meg’s training not having a single clue as to “why”. I just felt a calling at that time in my life to take a deeper dive into something that I was curious about learning more of.

What an incredible decision it turned out to be! Meg has an innate teaching ability to make the training feel that it is entirely catered exactly to what YOU need in your life.

I learned things that I didn’t know I needed to learn, felt things deeply that I didn’t know could be felt, and rejoiced in the overall experience.
— Bridget Brown
