Teacher
Meg Dumas found yoga during a time when she was searching for grounding, connection, and a deeper understanding of herself. What began as a simple curiosity slowly became a steady practice that helped her slow down, breathe more intentionally, and meet life with greater awareness. On the mat, she discovered that yoga isn’t about achieving the perfect pose, but rather it’s about showing up, exactly as you are, and allowing the practice to meet you there.
Her journey into yoga deepened as she explored its philosophy and teachings through texts like The Yamas & Niyamas, Light on Yoga, and Light on Life. Influenced by teachers and wisdom figures including Allie Nunzi, Eckhart Tolle, and the quiet guidance of her great-grandmother’s legacy, Meg’s practice is rooted in presence, curiosity, and the belief that growth begins with simply showing up.
Meg believes that the hardest part of yoga is often just arriving on the mat and once you’re there, everything else begins to unfold. In her classes, students can expect a welcoming environment where all are encouraged to move, breathe, and explore the practice at their own pace. Her hope is that students leave class feeling lighter, more connected to themselves, and reminded that if you’re breathing, you’re already doing it right.
When she’s not in the studio, Meg loves getting lost in a good book especially historical fiction like The Alice Network, Where the Crawdads Sing, and The Forest of Vanishing Stars. She also enjoys music that ranges from Eric Church’s Springsteen to anything by Taylor Swift, and cozy movie nights featuring favorites like Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Bring It On, and The Age of Adaline.
Showing up is the hardest part
I’m already proud, not that it matters
If you’re breathing, you’re doing it right
Something she wants students to know:
All are welcome
It’s not that hot
No one is looking at you
What she wants someone who’s never been to GGY to know:
The Alice Network
Where the Crawdads Sing
Forest of Vanishing Stars
