1 MONTH AWAY! This 7 night retreat on the Greek island of Lesvos explores Somatic Yoga Therapy. It is open to yoga students, teachers, therapists, somatic practitioners, body workers and mental-health providers.

Learn to weave facets of yoga therapy and somatic movement together. Confidently include somatic yoga in your personal practice, private sessions, offer specialized classes, or make your current yoga classes more interesting and embodied from a trauma informed lens. Completion includes a 50-hour Somatic Yoga Therapy Certification (pre-approved by both Yoga Alliance and International Association of Yoga Therapists).

“The joy and expansiveness that comes from freeing up what binds us, whether is be from stubborn postural patterning or repetitive narratives, is what I took away from this training and will continue to build on moving forward.” - Katherine, Yoga Teacher/ Ayurvedic Counsellor, Montréal, Canada

“Being with Megan and our group for the one week in person is one of the kindest and wisest gifts I have given to myself.” Rebecca, Yoga Student, U.K.

Rocky walls and salty water perform with a gentle breeze and reflective sun…nature’s theater is my medicine.

These are images I took the other day with the Fastnet Lighthouse in the distance. It is the closest I have been to it (because seasickness keeps me from taking the ferry around it). As I took in the unadorned beauty of Cape Clear Island with the pencil sized lighthouse peaking out, tears unexpectedly blocked my vision.

An Charraig Aonair, meaning “The Lonely Rock” is the Irish name for the Fastnet rock. But for many Irish immigrants, like my 19 year old grandmother Catherine McIntyre, the Fastnet lighthouse was “Ireland’s Teardrop”. To my Mamie, and many others, the lighthouse was the last they would see of their beloved country as they sailed for North America.

This lighthouse that was built with the purpose of avoiding maritime tragedies became the symbol for Irish immigrants who left their home for the promise of a better life.

The most southern hill of wild blooming thyme, daisies and purple heather is still too far to see the details, but I know what the craggy rock and lighthouse look like from the photograph Mamie kept on her dresser; the photo representing grief, courage and hope.

On 250th anniversary of the United States, does the hope of the American dream still exist?

A girl never grows out of wanting her own playhouse. This month’s functional workout: building the she/bee shed.

Thank you and roofing for your hands, live jams and letting our 4th anniversary be tools. And to Milo my ever present foreman, and princess Leela for approving the Lilly Pulitzer inspired colors.

Come on Sunshine! Throw a summer long pollinator plant party for the native Irish black bees. Make the Choose Love Honey 🍯 and Choose Love 💚

When students who visit comment that they want a Saluki like Leela…this is why I tell them they need a garden worthy of laps 😂🐾

Your stories are always heard and what you say makes a difference to someone...that is yourself.

Your internal relationship is the mediator of self regulation. This includes hearing self talk, feeling body, freeing breath, and nourishing the relationship with source; the deepest self that does not change.

The relationship between the shoulder girdle and arm is about taking turns; Being present to feel who leads the movement. Alternating between the sensations of tension and compression. And working with the right and left in isolation.

Use this video to release tension and build a bond of stability and mobility in your shoulders and arms. Energetically, consider what you bring to your heart and what you push away.

Want to create a more balanced relationship your whole body? Join me in Lesvos, Greece September 14-21 for a Somatic Yoga Therapy Immersion.

01/04/2026

Student Testimonial, In Person, West Cork:
“Attention to every detail of the course was first class and still enough wiggle room to avail windows of good weather and hot tub visits. Pacing perfect, excellent balance of practice and structured study, thorough manual, personal interactions with Megan, superb food. Honestly…faultless!” - Mags, Yoga Teacher, Roscommon, Ireland

“I loved the 50 hour online training, and am actively teaching it at my studio. Megan is incredibly knowledgeable and deeply patient, always taking the time to thoroughly answer questions. Her approach is grounded, compassionate and accessible, which made the material easy to integrate both personally and professionally.” - Melissa, Certified Trauma Informed Yoga, United States
