From there the vibes of Arizona played in her favor. After four years in the fitness industry as a certified personal trainer, she’s now navigating a huge pivot as she embarks on the journey of becoming a yoga instructor! She believes in the power of the Universe and has come a long way in her spiritual (and life) journey at the young age of 27. Megan is a 2/4 Sacral Manifesting Generator in Human Design.
