Meagan Vanhoogen

Meagan Vanhoogen began practicing yoga after winning a instructional yoga DVD at an event during her senior year in college. She began practicing with the DVD almost every day until she moved up to the NH Seacoast area and began practicing different styles and traditions. She first practiced Ashtanga Yoga in 2008 with Lona Kovacs and the energy was palpable in the room.

Since 2009, Meagan has committed to studying in the Ashtanga Tradition at Green Lotus Yoga Ashtanga Shala. This commitment has included; a daily, 6-day a week practice, teacher assisting in the classroom, adjustment clinics and attending classes about deepening your yoga practice off of the mat. She has also worked as a student to learn from senior instructors Bhavani Maki, Nicki Doane & Eddie Modestini, David Swenson as well as attending the Primary Series Adjustment Clinic with Nancy Gilgoff. In 2011, Meagan attended a week-long intensive wtih K. Pattabhi Jois's grandson and Ashtanga Yoga Lineage Holder, Sharath Jois in NYC. IN 2012, Meagan spent a month in India studying under K. Pattabhi Jois's daughter, Saraswati Jois.

Meagan has wanted to be an instructor since she first started practicing yoga. The beauty and magic of yoga provides a beautiful body and beautiful mind. No matter what tradition you follow, a daily practice that enriches your body and mind is paramount. Meagan is currently attending the 200-hour Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher Training with Lona Kovacs at Green Lotus Yoga Studio.
