About Meg McCraken

E-RYT 500, Co-Founder & Lead Teacher of Experience Alaya

For as long as I can remember, I have been enamored by the wild brilliance of this life, and the full breadth of the human experience. 

Discovering and honoring beauty, even in the most unlikely places, is my joy, my work, and my honor. I truly believe that if we care to look deep enough, we will be able to unearth and redeem the beauty in all.

For over 19 years, I have been creating safe spaces that inspire and empower love, authenticity and connection. I am a passionate community builder and give talks, lead yoga teacher trainings, community gatherings, workshops and retreats all over the world. I am the Co-Founder and Lead Teacher of Experience Alaya, a global community dedicated to honoring the unfoldment of the human spirit. You can also find some of my work featured online at Gaia.com.

But beyond and before all this, I am a writer and a poet at heart. Currently, I am writing a non-fiction book, for and about women who dare to grow older and reclaim the strength, beauty and wisdom of that honor. I am also publishing a book of poetry, a compilation of musings on the grace and struggle of what it is to be human. You can get a sneak peak of my work on my blog.

It would be my great honor to get the chance to walk awhile with you and experience the nature of your story.
