Yoga Teacher
Meg Ryan
We live in such a fast paced world, and for a lot of us we are living in a state of disconnection from our bodies, our breath & in turn our life. For me, the practise of yoga supports us in returning home to ourselves, by re-establishing our
relationship with our body, mind & our breath. Just over 4 years ago I began the practise of yoga, and it was through the support of the practise I re-established my relationship with myself during a time I felt completely disconnected & dysregulated in both my body and mind. My classes are an invitation to slow down, re-establish your relationship between your body, mind & breath, to develop a deep sense of presence and inner listening in your body and feel a deeper sense of connection to yourself.
