Meg's

Welcome to my scheduling site. I currently offer weekday and weekend classes in Yamuna® Body Rolling (YBR) and Qigong, 1-to-1 sessions and Build Your Own (Customized) Retreats of varying lengths.  Regardless of modality, built-in to all classes is the focus on the breath, on moving slowly and with awareness, and on sensing the flow of subtle energy so that students can tap into the potential for self-healing.

I view self-care as an increasingly necessary part of one's life so that students can begin to feel not only in control of but also responsible for their health. I am interested in helping people understand their own habits and patterns as they consistently show up in their breathing, their movement and their behavior. With this information, people can make changes based on their own feedback and experience. My classes are clinic-style - responsive to the group, organic and spontaneous – so that each person in class gets the personalized information he or she needs.

In order to offer potential for lasting change, I believe it is important to help students understand that how they (approach) practice is more important than what they practice. To me, we practice as a path to embodiment and not because we want to be "good" at something.

I have studied many traditional styles of yoga and martial arts and well as various types of somatic movement. I am also certified in the hands on technique of Shiatsu. While grounded in years of study and technique, much of my teaching style developed out of self-study and observation of bodies in different types of movement. I teach from an anatomically functional and somatic perspective. I believe we respond to one another's nervous system in an important way and that bodies teach bodies.  Languaging in my classes and my dialogue with students comes from my senses not from my head.

How it breaks down for me. anatomy = psychology = spirituality so I look at the body as systemically holding whatever is going on and work from the energetic root of an issue outward.  The organic nature of each of us requires us to work organically to change, heal and integrate.  I believe imbalance and health issues are a wake up call from home. Pain being a common message the soul uses to get one's attention.  Ignored, the messages get louder, more intense, whatever that looks or feels like for each of us in our individual journey.  

Yamuna Body Rolling is an intelligent self-care modality based on embodied anatomy and the use of different sized balls that allows you to rehab yourself. The feedback from the balls and routines lets you discover and become aware of holding patterns or ways that you have been overdoing or under doing in certain areas. YBR can help to reawaken many of the basic developmental and movement patterns that help keep us sustainable. These neuromuscular patterns get disrupted through trauma, injuries and even through exercise and sports that are deemed healthy. This leads to a cycle of compensations, imbalances and then maybe even more injuries.

YBR enhances and clarifies physical movement so your body can meet any daily living activity, exercise or sport in a healthy way. Self-adjusting, self-traction, creating space in joints, (not) hanging in ligaments, finding the sitting bones, waking up the whole line of a muscle chain and activating or relaxing muscle groups can all be beautifully illustrated with the feedback from the balls so that your whole body can begin to understand how to find safe and healthy movement.

The power of YBR as a self-care modality lies in how the routines and feedback from the balls offer a slow and organic way for you to unwind, rehab and recover at your own pace so that any issues have the opportunity to shift and change.

When you work on yourself you can start to discover and become aware of holding patterns and begin to undo them. The purpose of the routines and exercises in classes is to help you begin to move as an integrated whole being - more efficiently, with fewer compensations and more sustainability and aim to:

  • stimulate bone and reverse the impact of usage over time
  • provide traction to keep joints functioning properly
  • release muscle tension to alleviate overall stress
  • increase awareness of compensations to reorganize the nervous system
  • help the body regain balance and operate more efficiently
  • help you gain an embodied understanding of your own anatomy so that you can customize your self care and other practices

Qigong is one of the softer martial arts, a little more active than Tai Chi but less rigorous than Kung Fu. Like many of the ancient practices, it is considered both an art and a science. It is increasingly becoming popular as a way for people to manage modern dis eases (such as stress, insomnia, autoimmune issues, hypertension, etc.). The subtle practice can stimulate or soothe where and how we need it throughout our whole bodies and asks us to reconnect the parts, to synchronize our breathing and to be present and aware

Foundational movements, breath, and flow as well as philosophy and Chinese Medicine theory as preventive and for health and longevity come into each class. No experience is necessary and in general classes offer a slow but energizing basic flow that is done standing (though many movements can be modified to be done in a chair)

Build Your Own Retreat.  Currently, I offer extended weekend and weeklong retreats that are designed for small groups o be both intimate and not overly structured or busy.  I cook vegetarian meals and participants stay in the retreat space, sharing a room and or in a private room, sharing a bathroom.  The retreat space in Landrum, which is in the foothills of SC,  There are ample mountain views and waterfall hikes nearby or within driving distance.  The space itself is spacious inside and out and super quiet and dark.  People can build their own retreats, meaning everything from creating the group of up to four participants, and designing the content, and offering suggestions for the menu.  Or, individuals can join in a group that is already forming with content and menu loosely in place.  

Note that current offerings on this calendar are a mix of virtual classes and workshops which are accessible online through Zoom and in person either outdoors or in local studios or my current retreat and studio space /  some offerings can accommodate both in person and virtual.  1-to-1 sessions can be scheduled as virtual session or as house calls so I come to you or you can come to my retreat studio space here in Landrum SC. .  For virtual / online offerings note  that  Zoom is integrated with my calendar so you will require a Zoom account on your end and once you have created an account on Punchpass and reserve a space in class, 1-to-1 sessions, Self-Care Series and / or workshops, you will automatically receive a Zoom link (which includes a passcode for that particular class, session, etc.).
