Meet Megan Downs

Meet Megan Downs, WCCP Alto 2

Tell us what you're passionate about.

Movement, learning, teaching, the healing process. Helping people become more self aware through yoga and bodywork. And at home the fascination of watching my son grow and change.

What is your occupation/profession?

Massage Therapist and Yoga Instructor, owner of In Your Hands, LLC

Have a hobby? 

I love being outdoors, hiking with the family and our pup. Thanks to this choir, singing. Once upon a time, dancing - may be time to reenergize that one.

What do you consider your most notable achievements? 

I have to say motherhood - one year in so far and it's definitely the hardest thing (and absolutely the most amazing too) I've ever done. And childbirth is a close second. Having my own business is a big one. Earning a BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography. In college I choreographed a piece that was performed with local professional groups and made it to a top spot in the regional College Dance Festival.

Do you have a charity suggestion we can keep in mind?

I have to give this one more thought, but I keep thinking about local (Philly, Reading, etc...) schools that desperately need funding for basic needs.

Skills, services, goods available to other in WCCP?

Happy to lead the group to stretch, breathe, center. And possibly choreograph - I type that with a deep breath and much hesitation... just because it has been a long time. But this group and the music and the reason we are together is pretty awesomely inspiring.

Favorite book?
