Megan Beck Kaula Tantra Yoga
Megan completed her YTT 200 hr in Vinyasa (2017, Michigan) and YTT 500 hr in Kaula Tantra Yoga (2019, Quito, Ecuador) at Durga’s Tiger School for Yoga, Arts, and Shamanism. She has since continued to collaborate with Durga’s Tiger School by returning every few years to participate and teach at the school. In 2020, she dedicated herself to supporting the development of the off-grid community, Durga’s Tiger Land (outside Esmeraldas, Ecuador). This land project provides a space for yoga graduates of the school to visit, offer healing retreats, and develop the community into their home. Megan’s journey weaved her worldwide, which is now concentrated between North, Central, and South America, where she continues her work and study as an eco-builder, yogini (always learning), and professional photographer.
Her journey into discovery through the tantra practice has provided deep insight into the nature of unifying and balancing duality. Shiva and Shakti, Eagle and Condor, Mind and Body, Left and Right, Duality and Non-Duality. These concepts are a guiding light along her path.

“I geek out on what’s happening inside, from a scientific/ biological perspective and the profundity that it brings to our wellbeing.
I also find great fulfillment in teaching a creative Tantra-Hatha inspired Vinyasa that helps illuminate the joy and essence of existence, the long linger of Yin Yoga, the accessibility of Chair Yoga for Every Body, Restorative Yoga and designing programs for transformational retreats and festivals.”

Lisa Sharp
Slo-Flo Yoga / Yogilates
Lisa has been a yoga practitioner for 30 years and received training in Hatha, Yin and Iyengar yoga. She has attended numerous workshops involving the pelvic floor, hip and back alignment. A life-long equestrian with several injuries, her yoga practice has been instrumental in overcoming obstacles in healing and brought a new flexibility in body and mind.
“I believe Yoga helps the human spirit to live our lives with a gentler and kinder outlook towards ourselves and others. We learn to accept our limitations and expand our body and mind by moving our energy through our body in a positive way. Life’s journey is a constant exploration of us and for me, Yoga has played a major role.”
