ABOUT ME
Meg’s journey with SYI began in 2021, when she completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) at the Mystical Yoga Farm in Lake Atitlán, Guatemala. The training was more than an education for her—it was a profound personal transformation and cultural immersion. Inspired by the facilitators, the SYI team, and the experience, she now plays a key role in shaping the visual identity of SYI. As the visual designer behind the printed manuals, social media graphics, and digital visuals, Meg takes abstract ideas and brings them to life with her creativity.
In addition to her graphic design expertise, Meg is a multi-passionate entrepreneur, she wears many hats—mama, graphic designer, yoga instructor, holistic nutrition coach, traveler, and farmer. At her core, Meg is a lifelong learner and curious explorer, dedicated to living intentionally and inspiring others to do the same.
Meg has a project called The Garbage Awareness Project where she educates and empowers others on ways to reduce the “garbage” in our lives—beyond just physical waste, but harmful food ingredients, toxic product chemicals, and environmental pollutants. Through workshops, coaching, and community outreach, she helps individuals adopt sustainable, health-conscious practices that nourish both their bodies and the planet.
