Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500)
Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Facilitator
With over 1000 hours of yoga facilitation, Meg incorporates her 500-hour yoga certification (200-hour in traditional hatha and 300-hour in Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga) into all aspects of her musical and pedagogical life. She offers Yoga for Musicians classes geared toward simplifying and solidifying the physical and mental practices of artists. Her approach reflects our need for awareness, compassion, and love for ourselves and others, especially within our musical community. She helps each individual build their personal foundation for calm and clear problem solving and full appreciation and focus on the moment within musical workshops in connection with movement.
Meg’s Carnegie Hall debut received critical acclaim from the New York Concert Review: “an excellent flutist…playing at breakneck speed…facility with total control” who “radiated calm serenity and impressionistic colors, giving…a fine opportunity to exhibit her beautiful, singing tone.” (New York Concert Review). Her passion for new music and support of living composers is fed through commissioning projects and as a member of the Texas New Music Ensemble. Meg especially enjoys the chance to collaborate with composers, creating a balance of their voice and her own. On the opposite end of the spectrum, she regularly performs on traverso and gives workshops on Baroque interpretation and ornamentation geared toward connecting modern performers to the period’s colors and beauty.
