Megumi started practicing yoga to rehabilitate from a running injury. Her interest grew as she saw the benefit it had on her running. As she continued to deepen her practice, she began to see far more to yoga than its physical benefits. Through her practice, she has gained a more balanced and positive approach to life. She sees yoga as a pathway to a new sense of balance and sensitivity to one’s mind and body.

In her Yoga for Runners classes, Megumi offers a non-competitive environment for runners to find their full range of motion in all their limbs, not just their legs. She sees yoga as an effective way for runners to both stretch and strengthen the body, create physical balance, increase mental alertness, and help prevent injuries and discomfort. Running and yoga make a good marriage of strength and flexibility.

In 2008 Megumi graduated from the YogaJaya International 200-Hour Teacher Training course and became a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with the Yoga Alliance.
