YOGA & WELLNESS TEAM

  • Megan Connolly, E-RYT, Reiki Master/Teacher

    LEAD YOGA INSTRUCTOR & WELLNESS OPERATIONS MANAGER

    Specializes in: Gentle Yoga - Restorative Yoga - Chair Yoga/Workouts - Vinyasa - Energy Work

    Megan has been practicing yoga for over 20 years, she was introduced to it when she was in high school from a family friend who later became a certified yoga teacher herself! The first class she took was a restorative yoga class on a bath towel in candlelight followed by hot tea, not having a clue that class would change her life. The feeling of complete relaxation and happiness was so needed in the time of being a high school student feeling the stress of finding a college, moving away from home, and making real-time adult decisions, a lot to ask for!

    Megan continued the practice while away at college but fell away from it a bit as she forged her career path. She fell in love with her now husband who has supported this journey from the very start, taking her classes (pre-kids!) or asking for some poses to work out a physical ailment. Megan is also a certified Reiki Master and offers in-person & virtual healing sessions and certifications.

    Megan finds so much joy in sharing the practice of yoga, mindfulness, and Reiki, hoping her students walk away feeling how she did in her very first yoga class. Her teaching style is joyful and healing, bringing elements of pranayama, meditation, mantra, Reiki, movement, and alignment, and if called to, the use of her energy cards to help bring further guidance to those needing it!

    If Megan isn't on her mat or in the studio you'll find her in the kitchen baking sweet (healthy) treats, out for a walk, watching her son play baseball or brushing knots out of her daughter's hair.

  • Laura Hall, RYT

    YOGA INSTRUCTOR

    Specializes in: Vinyasa - Gentle Yoga - Meditation

    Laura began practicing yoga in 2015 after a knee injury forced her to listen to her body and slow down. Practicing yoga provided a way for her to both decompress and build physical strength, things that high-impact exercise and soccer had done for her before her injury. Her yoga practice eventually grew into a tool Laura used to practice mindfulness, metabolize emotions, and heal from childhood trauma. She completed her RYT 200-hour Teacher Training in Vinyasa Yoga in 2019 and enjoys teaching upbeat, encouraging classes that bring in elements of pranayama, meditation, and mindfulness while moving through poses.

  • Megan Connolly, E-RYT, Reiki Master

    WELLNESS OPERATIONS MANAGER, REIKI PRACTITIONER & LEAD YOGA INSTRUCTOR

    Specializes in: Anxiety - Stress - Depression - Lifestyle Shifts

    Megan has been practicing yoga for over 20 years, she was introduced to it when she was in high school from a family friend who later became a certified yoga teacher herself! The first class she took was a restorative yoga class on a bath towel in candlelight followed by hot tea, not having a clue that class would change her life. The feeling of complete relaxation and happiness was so needed in the time of being a high school student feeling the stress of finding a college, moving away from home, and making real-time adult decisions, a lot to ask for!

    Megan continued the practice while away at college but fell away from it a bit as she forged her career path. She fell in love with her now husband who has supported this journey from the very start, taking her classes (pre-kids!) or asking for some poses to work out a physical ailment. Megan is also a certified Reiki Master and offers in-person & virtual healing sessions and certifications.

    Megan finds so much joy in sharing the practice of yoga, mindfulness, and Reiki, hoping her students walk away feeling how she did in her very first yoga class. Her teaching style is joyful and healing, bringing elements of pranayama, meditation, mantra, Reiki, movement, and alignment, and if called to, the use of her energy cards to help bring further guidance to those needing it!

    If Megan isn't on her mat or in the studio you'll find her in the kitchen baking sweet (healthy) treats, out for a walk, watching her son play baseball or brushing knots out of her daughter's hair.
