Yoga & Reiki
Megan Zwerlein
Yoga Teacher & Reiki Practitioner
Megan is a Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, Yoga Teacher, and Mom to Zoe (19). She understands the power of self-inquiry and has learned from the very beginning of this incarnation she would have to fight to survive. As a devout Spiritual Warrior who denounced her Catholic upbringing, she learned to minimize her pain and suffering by living in accordance with her dharma, using the tools of her trades. These ancient practices allowed her to find independence from what had previously enslaved her, like living as a victim and working in an unfulfilling profession from inside a cubicle. She feels it is her duty to assist others on the journey of soul awakening by helping them drop into their body, relax their mind, and brighten their spirit. Her teaching holds utmost importance in developing an understanding of how deeply interconnected the body, mind, and spirit are. On the daily, she finds gratitude to combat feelings of inferiority, is seeking to make connections that go beyond simple pleasantries, to make the most of her time left in this body. She enjoys the beauty of shared time with those of like minds, contemplating existentialism with a lightheartedness, and to laugh and play in the magic of nature. She is a live music enthusiast who has been known to take off for weeks at a time to follow Phish and reconnect with friends made on the road. Most importantly, Megan will continue to fight the darkness in order to inspire a life lived in the light of truth, never forgetting what was spoken in her very first Yoga class back in 1998 (from the Bhagavad Gita): “yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”
