Introduction: My yoga business is called Moja Yoga. For more information please read below!
Moja Yoga and the Movement Project came to life in 2017 when the founder, Megan McKenzie decided to combine her passion for Yoga, Children, Africa and all things that encompass wellness into one.
In 2009, Megan lived and volunteered in an orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya for 5 months. Originally only planning to go for 3 weeks she overcame the feeling that there she was meant to make a bigger impact in Africa. After traveling the slums and seeing the true and painful hardships of the young people she decided raise funds for children to receive a high school education. Successfully raising enough money for 13 students to attend their first year of high school. Megan then continued education herself and began college in Los Angeles in 2010 after her return to the States. The project was difficult to continue as she worked full time while pursuing her degree.
Megan received her Bachelor's degree in Psychology from California State University Northridge as well as her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification in Los Angeles in 2014. Since then, she has taught yoga in many studios throughout the coast of California.
Currently residing in Monterey, the town she grew up Megan has deepened her passion for bringing wellness to others by teaching yoga to children and mothers like herself. Her vision is nurture the part of her heart that holds the space for Kenyan youth and give back what she couldn’t continue in college.
“Yoga has taught me the importance of finding balance and having a sense of fullness in life. Kenya has taught me the power of giving. My family have taught me how to love and children have shown me how to be free. I want to give others the tools they need to find their own inner peace because I know yoga can be the pathway to connect mind, body and spirit.” - Megan
My mission in life is to inspire, elevate, and educate as many people as possible in the practice of yoga and to encourage each client to live to their fullest, most creative, and most joyful potential!
