What is Sacred Yoga & Sound?

This baby was doula'd into the online world in 2020 due to the situation at the time. In many ways, it's the digital version of Vinyasa Productions, my beloved and my's event production company. And, tbh, it's grown into something drastically different than I imagined, in all of the best ways.

What began as just virtual classes has evolved into a sanctuary for those seeking a different relationship with themselves and with their lives. It's a library of opportunities to learn more about yourself. The chance to make small and sustainable shifts in your life (where are my James Clear Atomic Habits people at?)

Sacred Yoga & Sound is my offering to the world. One that comes from my own personal journey for I am my first and constant student. Navigating stress, mental challenges, and addictions, I strengthened my nervous system, awakened my authentic self, and healed my body—one day at a time—and developed a toolbox of methods to create a life I love.

You have an online yoga studio?

Yep! Sure do. I call it Re:Vitalize. It's there to imbue you with new life and vitality. It is your source for help with:

• Discovering phenomenally delicious, strength-inducing, mobility-increasing, stress-banishing, and energizing movements.
• Tapping into your innermost dreams and desires.
• Being you.

(It's also your portal to a deep rabbit hole of self-discovery and self-mastery, which is may cause you to make changes that lead to transformation...which can be hard AF, but I'm here to walk beside you.)

And you're heated, power trained, right? So it's all Vinyasa?

Nope. Vinyasa is a thread that weaves together the other aspects of yoga. I love a flow, it makes me feel like I am dancing. It's there to help us prepare for the subtler work of breathwork, meditation, and even sound healing. The class that's actually the member favorite is the Earth Medicine Yoga class, which is relaxation-based, think yin and somatic yoga). I am amazed by mantra and mudra and offer those modalities as well.

I try to honor all the limbs of yoga for they are all equally important. It's a matter of understanding what you need and choosing the appropriate class. 

What if I need more support?

Yay! I love this for sooooo many reasons. I am such a huge fan of 1:1 work. Don't get me wrong, I love my Re:Vitalize and Re:Emerge group containers. But diving into the nitty gritty, getting radically honest, and customizing practices based on those things makes me so happy. I have such a huge f'n toolbox of practices to pull from and I find such delight in meeting you where you are and creating a journey that is uniquely yours.

I offer an initial 4pk of classes at an introductory price and then offer a fully customized, progressive program in 1- 3- and 6-month containers. Go to this page to see if this is something that can support you.

I already go to a weekly studio class, why do I need your membership?

I love that! I adore in-person classes and find them so beneficial. Don't stop going to those! Especially those power classes if you crave/need those!

The membership is here to provide you with shorter practices that you can do daily. Consistency is key and having access to a library of classes enables you to make yoga more of a lifestyle. It also empowers you to get the practice you need rather than what the instructor is teaching for that day.

Okay, why are you so obsessed with a home practice?

I fully believe in community healing ... but an aspect of that is going home and integrating. A home practice helps you make the actual shifts and changes you are inspired to make in community ceremonies/classes. I, unfortunately, have seen sooooo many people become reliant on teachers, guru's, guides, medicines ... something outside of themselves ... for their healing/motivation/accountability. This leads to an inability to self-manage and actually may instill a lack of self trust. 

But you have everything you need within you.

I fully believe that we are the ones that need to heal ourselves, yes with the support of others, but it's up to us. The membership provides you with practices and tools for self-mastery. And when we practice and do the work at home ... it intensifies community journey's. 

What's all this hype around the nervous system and how can you help with that?

Whew, this is a power question! As someone who spent 10+ years behind a computer in an office setting while also trying to teach 5 weekly classes, and freelance ... I know firsthand how the nervous system can be dysregulated which essentially means you are out of homeostasis/harmony and are caught in some form of Sympathetic Nervous System response (like hyper-arousal, functional freeze, etc.)

Because so much of my journey has been about healing trauma and helping my system return to balance, I've become obsessed with concepts like PolyVagal Theory and Somatics. As a result, all of my classes are designed to support you in feeling regulated and empowered to face anything. They help you slow down (yes, even the morning Solar Flow class is meant to help you slowly wake your system up rather than shocking it), and tap into deep pockets of energy being stored in your body (as discussed by Dr. Candice Pert & Dr. Peter Levine).

I love learning the science behind the practices. It helps me better understand the effects of the tools I offer and to know when to use what.

I share a lot of this kind of information in my Musings from Megan emails. It's a great place to start to get to know me if we're just meeting for the first time.
