GROW AS A PRENATAL/POSTNATAL YOGA TEACHER

I have been offering prenatal and postnatal classes in the Seattle yoga community for over 10 years. I am a Yoga Alliance 500hr-RYT and RPYT (Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher) with over 5,000 hours of teaching experience. I am also the lead faculty member of the 8 Limbs Pre/Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training and teach workshops for teachers and mentor teachers throughout the US.

My passion for teaching yoga teachers to support folks during the perinatal period stems from my own experiences as a pregnant student, finding little support for my changing body during pregnancy and postpartum in regular yoga classes, and from witnessing over the years the profound impact yoga has for pregnant and postpartum students. My hope is to create accessibility for pregnant and postpartum folks to find the support they need in their local yoga communities and to experience the benefit that yoga can offer in addressing the aches and pains common in these periods and the stress relief and nervous system support that all pregnant folks and new parents need.

WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING ABOUT STUDYING WITH ME

"As a doula, I continued my learning with perinatal yoga instruction and Megan's classes were among my favorite. I learned so much about my own pregnant and postpartum body and learned how to better support my clients. I wound up offering some gentle in home instruction as part of my work as a birth and postpartum doula, but mostly I learned how to more safely work with positioning and helping my clients prepare their body for birth, postpartum recovery, and long body feeding and baby holding sessions. It really deepened my understanding of the anatomical transformation that is birth in a way that classes like Spinning Babies only scratch the surface of. It also helped me address some of my own physical discomforts that came with long sessions of baby care." - Gwen, Birth & Postpartum Doula

"I had already taken a Prenatal YTT and still learned so much valuable anatomy-based alignment, modifications and safe transitions from Megan. Highly recommend." - Brett, Owner Brett Larkin Yoga Uplifted
