Meg Olsen

Balanced Rock Foundation
Operations Manager & Yoga Instructor
Yosemite, CA


About Me: Meg has been the Operations Manager for Balanced Rock since 2019, having lived in Yosemite for 2 years and now working remotely while residing in sunny San Diego, CA. She is an educator, artist, and retired professional dancer, utilizing her studies in Afro-Latin, contemporary/modern, classical ballet, and post-modern styles like Gaga and contact improvisation to influence her journey as a movement artist and student of somatics. Her teaching focus in Yoga stems from her initial 200-HR with School Yoga Institute in Peru, which explored Hatha, Vinyasa, and Peruvian shamanism. An intuitive and Reiki II healer, Meg is passionate about the marriage of psyche and soma, and how we can use energetics coupled with movement to heal, integrate, and evolve. Meg's teaching style is playful, compassionate, and integrates her trauma-informed mindfulness background by encouraging her students to explore an empowered practice, exercise personal autonomy, and "take what they need, leave what doesn't serve."
