Megan Callahan

Megan is both a performing and holistic artist. She knew as a young child
that she was a highly creative being, and was drawn to assisting and
empowering people from all walks of life on their journeys. She loves to
work with people to help them become more connected to and aware of their
innate wisdom and potential. She found her way to yoga as a young teen ago
to help with a serious physical condition, and continues to be amazed and
humbled by what is discovered on and off the mat, and works to deeply honor
the lineage from which this practice emerged, and to help the practice
become more accessible to all folks seeking liberation and
self-actualization, and to support how folks can show up in service with a
balanced heart during these critical times. She has been teaching various
forms of yoga and meditation since 2003 and currently is the director of a
yoga and movement studio for all ages in North Buffalo called Yoga
Parkside. Her private yoga clients include JoAnn Falletta, Dr. Lenard
Kaplan (who incorporated Yoga into his comprehensive sports medicine
practice) and other prominent figures.

She is also an energy worker of several modalities, a writer, actor,
musician, and director. She has taught theater for over fifteen years, and
holds a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from Wayne State University/The
Hilberry Repertory Theatre Company, has a certificate of completion as a
teacher in the Michael Chekhov technique, which she has been studying since
2004, and has studied at the Moscow Art Theater (MXAT) and the Globe
Theater in London. In addition to teaching theater to all ages, Megan is a
nominated and acclaimed director, dialect coach, actor and musician. She
has taught the Michael Chekhov technique for many years, including
workshops in Ireland and throughout the United States. Most recently she
directed an award winning production of Frankenstein (via the Kennedy
