This conversation with Meghan had all of us laughing about something that's no laughing matter!

Maybe it's Meghan's dry Canadian sense of humor, but Russell kept throwing her little balls of wonderful wit and she just kept catching them and throwing them right back.

For nearly 20 years, Ashtanga has sustained Meghan through life's ups and downs and she's been teaching for over fifteen of those years. She's had quite the journey from her humble introduction to the practice in Montreal, Canada, then moving to San Jose, California, having four children, and continuing to practice and teach there. And finally, now, to opening her very own Mysore program in South Philly!

Meghan is affectionately named "The Benevolent Ashtanga Overlord" by her students, as she teaches way that is both empathetic and humorous, while still holding space for challenge and growth with her gentle guidance and encouragement.

As a mother of four young girls, Meghan knows what it's like to practice through all different stages of life and how difficult it is to maintain a practice through the hectic demands of wearing so many different hats. As an entrepreneur, fully stepping into her role of building a thriving Mysore program, she also is deeply involved with her family and continues to find time to explore her own studies of yoga philosophy as a spiritual seeker.

Meghan also knows just how quickly it can all be taken away. And that's what we're talking about today.

In August of 2019, Meghan had a stroke, right in the middle of her Ashtanga yoga practice! This random event changed her perspective on life completely. She realized, time is short. And that the peripheral community drama wasn't important to her personal practice. She decided to boldly step forward on her path, recognizing she didn't have time to wait for permission to teach. Instead, she made the resolve that if she recovered, she would claim her own authority. And we're so glad she did.
