Megan J. Hoeffner
M.S., ERYT 500+, YACEPÂ
International Yoga Teacher, Certified Sound Healing Practitioner & Luxury Retreat Host
Megan doesn't just teach sound healing. She lives it — and she has the depth to prove it.
Â
With over 13 years of experience across yoga, sound healing, reiki, and plant medicine, Megan brings a rare combination of scientific rigor and energetic wisdom to everything she leads. She holds a Master's of Science in Applied Health Physiology — meaning she understands the body from the inside out, at a cellular level — and layers that foundation with over 100 hours of dedicated sound healing training and 5+ years of active facilitation.
Before yoga found her, Megan spent 24 years as a classical ballet dancer. That lifelong relationship with the body — with precision, expression, and the intelligence of movement — runs through everything she teaches. She knows what it means to inhabit your physical form fully. And she knows how to guide others there.
In 2017, Megan founded The Embodied Warrior — a global platform for soul-led, body-based transformation — and has since led retreats and trainings across Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Kenya, Tulum, Bali, and beyond. She established the Embodied Warrior School of Yoga in 2022 and the School of Sound Healing shortly after, both designed to produce practitioners of real depth and real confidence.
What makes Megan exceptional as a trainer isn't just her credentials — it's her ability to bridge the seen and unseen. She moves fluently between the science of how the nervous system responds to frequency and the art of holding sacred space for genuine healing. Her students don't just learn techniques. They learn to trust themselves.
Â
Megan's credentials include:
- M.S., Applied Health Physiology — Salisbury University
- ERYT 500+, YACEP — Yoga Alliance
- 100-Hour Sound Healing Facilitator Training — The Yoga Forrest, Guatemala
- 300-Hour RYT — Zuna Yoga, Bali
- 13+ years teaching yoga across the US and internationally
- 5+ years facilitating sound healing ceremonies and immersive experiences
Â
"There are not enough words in any language to describe how special Megan is. Her ability to hold space for all human beings is something so many of us seek and only so few truly find."
— Zivile, Retreat Space Owner, Nicaragua
