Megan lives in Redondo Beach and is originally from Indiana and New York.

After moving to New York, yoga became a daily practice and the studio a sanctuary. Alone, in a crowded city, Megan’s mat was where she found herself and shortly after, she completed her first teacher training at Yoga to the People, followed by advanced training with Three Sisters and numerous others (Katonah, Strala, Restorative, Kids). Megan’s craving for knowledge continued to expand as she studied massage therapy and Ayurveda, both sciences she weaves into her yoga practice.

Tessa lives in Manhattan Beach and has lived in Florida, Boston, New York, and Sydney.

From age three until her mid-twenties, she learned to incorporate restorative movement into her daily life. When she fully phased out of the performing arts, she naturally leaned into the development of her yoga, pilates and meditation practices as avenues of spiritual practice and physical self-care.

Yoga has always been a sacred space for Tessa – a safe haven where she has always found solace and consistency regardless of studio, teacher, or style.
