Meghan Leighton

Meghan Leighton, M.A.T., is founder of Awake Minds: Yoga + Conscious Living, is a Live Love Teach yoga instructor, certified mindfulness educator, retreat leader, and student of Ayurveda. Meg spent fifteen years working in school systems throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island implementing groundbreaking mindfulness & yoga programs for young people, teens, and staff before starting Awake Minds Yoga. 

Meg’s journey began twenty years ago when she started practicing meditation with absolutely no idea of the impact it would have on her life. She has found tremendous benefits through her practice and in working with a master teacher for eight years. Meg now shares the teachings of yoga and meditation with others through classes in studios, hospitals, for corporations, private meditation offerings (for all levels and abilities), Inward Bound teen retreats, and facilitates yoga + meditation retreats.

At Riverside Yoga and Massage, Meg offers half-day retreats, private meditation coaching, Sunday evening meditation groups, and private and public yoga classes and Reiki Healing sessions.  Meghan lives in Newburyport, MA with her husband Asa and their dog Bella. She loves to hike, explore vegan recipes in the kitchen, dance, write, and eat dark chocolate!
