about meg

Oh, hey there, welcome to my corner of the internet!

My name is Meg McGarry. While I do a lot of things in the world, first and foremost I’m a writer. I love the written word, and I’ve got a noteworthy library to prove it. I received an MFA in Creative Writing in 2010, and over the past 15 years I have gained experience in the private, public and non-profit sector as a marketing and communications professional. I’m proud to have worked across projects that were small, such as writing web copy for a local pasta business, and large, like national advocacy campaigns. I’ve even gained an award or two along the way.

I’m a yoga teacher, currently teaching weekly at Wild Heart Yoga  in Cambridge. Beyond my scheduled classes, I lead workshops for yoga teachers on topics like communications, equity, ethics, leadership, and how to build safer spaces for all brains and bodies. This work pulls deeply from my time working with social justice organizations and the unlearning I have done under the umbrella of decolonization work. I believe we need bold leaders who are willing to name suffering so we can acknowledge the extent of healing that’s required in these crazy times. I strive to be that kind of leader. Though my knowledge is informed by my experience living with neurodivergence, it is limited by my identity as a white, cis, able-bodied woman. I am continuously engaged in education to challenge the harmful narratives that cause me to perpetuate harm, and to locate myself honestly in relation to this work.

I’m also honored to teach on the faculty of the Essential Yoga Teacher Training, led by Marsha Jaworski. 

Lastly, I’d be remiss not to mention my job as a mama, which inspires me to do all the things. My son Bodhi reminds me what life is for and about, and I consider it a privilege and responsibility to raise him with a critical lens for all systems that disadvantage others. I want him to know his voice matters, and to feel empowered to use it to advocate for change. All my work dials back to him.

 If you are looking for writing support big or small, or would like to book a workshop, yoga event or book club, please reach out!

With love xx,
Meg
