Meghan Walsh
yoga instructor/coach
Athleticism for me is a creative expression. Mindful movement is both a means of anchoring to the present moment and a celebration of being alive. I love to run long distances in remote places, which led me to become a backcountry wilderness guide and running coach. While running allows me to explore the world around me, yoga offers instructions for how to operate this complex machinery that is the human body with precision and care. Through yoga I healed lifelong back discomfort and have remained injury free running mountain races beyond 100 miles. I completed my 300-hour Smartflow yoga teacher training, plus pranayama, with Annie Carpenter. Smartflow blends classical asana with functional anatomy, energetic awareness, and yoga philosophy.
