That’s what yoga can Do For You

As a yoga teacher and longtime practitioner with over fifteen years of experience, I’ve seen how powerful this practice can be. I’ve been where you are: overwhelmed, anxious, and running on empty. Yoga gave me the tools to reconnect with my body, quiet my mind, and meet life with more ease and grace than I ever thought possible.

Yoga for real life, strength, balance & peace

Whether you’re a beginner stepping onto the mat for the first time or someone returning after time away, my classes are designed to help you build strength, restore balance, and discover the peace that’s already within you.

Build physical and emotional strength.

Restore Inner balance and resilience.

Cultivate mindfulness on and off the mat.

Reconnect with your natural rhythm of breath and being.

At Breath and Being Yoga, we believe yoga isn’t about escaping life; it’s about embracing it, one mindful breath and one intentional movement at a time.

You deserve to live your bravest, boldest, most beautiful life, both on and off the mat.

Are you ready to begin your yoga journey?

About Meg

Meg Heimstead, founder and yoga instructor at Breath and Being Yoga, smiling warmly in natural light.

Meg Heimstead is passionate about helping people use yoga to live their bravest, boldest, and most beautiful lives, both on and off the mat.

She first discovered yoga during her undergraduate acting training at the University of Evansville, where movement and breathwork were woven into the curriculum. Then life happened, and she stepped away from the practice for several years.

Fifteen years ago, Meg returned to the mat while navigating debilitating anxiety. As an actress, the pressure to perform was relentless, her stress levels were chronically high, and racing thoughts kept her awake most nights.

Yoga showed her another way – a way to pause, to question her thoughts, and to come home to the present moment. On her mat, Meg found a freedom she didn’t think was possible, along with tools to meet life’s challenges with more clarity, confidence, and grace.

In 2023, she completed her 200-hour teacher training at Bella Prana Yoga and Wellness Collective. Meg’s classes weave mindful movement with intentional breath, offering variations so students can truly listen to their bodies. She believes yoga isn’t about perfecting postures; it’s about using them as doorways into understanding ourselves and the patterns of our minds.

Whether in the studio or the theatre, Meg’s passion lies in helping others reconnect with themselves, their stories, and the world around them.
