meyogalune's story

 

My name is Meghan. My favourite color is green. My sun sign is Sagittarius. I love pizza. I’m a noticer. A hiking and camping enthusiast. A mindful waster. A yoga-lover. A stigma-fighter. A full spectrum of emotions feeler. A griever. A dog mom.

I have spent some years now exploring the body, the nervous system, co-regulation and more through my education, my practice and lived experiences. Most recently I’ve had the experience of exploring grief in my own body, through the death of my young dog, Shadow. This experience brought me to meet folks walking a similar path. And ultimately has brought me to working now with such folks moving through grief and pet loss.

I’m an experienced yoga teacher (RYT500) and now completing an IAYT accredited program to become a Yoga Therapist. I have been regularly working one-on-one and in groups with folks to guide them from a busy-ness in the mind to the vast presence of the body. I encourage a mindful approach rather than pushing through a practice, and instead rely on safe sensation and the intelligence of the body. 

My education in somatic movement, trauma awareness, Pain Care Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Ashtanga, Yin, and Asanas for Autism & Special Needs and more has informed my interoceptive practice. Bringing awareness to nervous system regulation, I practice adapting every session or class based on the folks in the room, what they are experiencing, and what they are hoping to get out of the practice that day. Always being encouraged to follow the body – wherever you feel pulled to, and however you feel like moving, breathing, being.
