MEG & TESS have over 60 years of combined experience as yoga educators and mentors. If you are helping people, it is essential to pursue a sustainable biopsychosocial spiritual balance in all your relationships, including with yourself!

Self-care is a prerequisite to caring for others. Yoga concepts recognize the sacredness of the teacher-student relationship and the growing community. It is the community that provides a sense of belonging, fostering mutual aid and social connections for collective actions of compassionate care. You are worth prioritizing and participating with others to receive support and thrive. Every year, we meet and share experiences, strengths, and education to complement your own and shine.
