Megan's Wellness Tribe 

I’m a wife, mom of 4, yoga instructor, business/life coach, entrepreneur and lover of food. Before transforming my life, I spent 10 years surviving my life. I previously lived in fear, trying to dig myself out of $820K of debt, with 4 young children. I didn’t allow myself to stop moving, because I didn’t want to feel the pain or face my issues. It was then, I landed on a yoga mat out of desperation. Rock bottom led me to the most transformational pivot of choosing myself first. Since that day 10 years ago, I have been designing and creating a life I LOVE with intention. From owning and selling brick and mortar businesses with a staff of 50, to building a 6 figure online yoga company in 6 months to opening my dream yoga studio in downtown Lee’s Summit and adding a second location in Lakewood within in a year! I have coached dozens of women and women entrepreneurs to also create the businesses and lives of their dreams while honoring how they want to feel as moms, wives, women, and entrepreneurs. My purpose is to help clients create and live a life they LOVE through life/business coaching and yoga. I coach clients to turn their dreams into goals and create an actionable plan to make them a reality. I guide purpose driven entrepreneurs to create freedom of time and money. I believe we all serve a great purpose on this Earth. I would like to help you discover and live out your purpose, so the world can benefit from your gifts. Much Love & Gratitude, Megan

I started practicing yoga 18 years ago as a calming lunch break from my corporate job, in those early days it was impossible to close my eyes and calm my mind during savasana. Today my practice is fundamental to managing stress; my mat is my calm in the storm - a place where I am fully present. It is where I have learned to trust and honor my body and connect with my soul. My 200 hour yoga certification is from Zen Zone Yoga. I am currently enrolled in Flow School with the goal of bringing creative movement beyond traditional sun salutations in circular patterns that will calm and challenge. Outside of yoga I work as an IT Director, have one adult son, love to read, enjoy road trips on the back of my partners motorcycle and strive to find more time for naps and paddle boarding. I am passionate about raising awareness and removing the stigma related to substance use disorder. I strive to teach classes that provide fellow yogi’s with knowledge, strength, calm and tools that help them be kinder to themselves and the world. I look forward to meeting you all!

Meet Beth Ann Schwope she has appreciated yoga and the practice for years from a distance, providing mindfulness and movement for her kids when they were young, and briefly incorporating moments of breath/body connection into her day. She just started practicing regularly in 2023 and fell in love with how it so ideally helped regulate her nervous system. Showing up on her mat, even distracted, overstimulated, and far from perfect, is always the best thing she does for herself. Six months after a trip to Tulum with Megan's Yoga Tribe, she began Yoga Teacher Training with Ruthann Zentner 500 E-RYT and Tricia Tayrein 200 E-RYT. This started unearthing the layers of what it looks like to deepen her practice, and laid the foundation for teaching yoga. Beth loves a poignant and clever analogy, a brisk walk, live music, and creating anything and everything from chicken coops to couture dance costumes. Equally comfortable in excessive rhinestones and durable coveralls, she is always discovering something new about herself and this beautiful planet. She has a heart for music and the arts, neurodivergent learning, and understanding & compassion when it comes to mental health and suicide awareness. Beth is passionately and unwaveringly dedicated to her 3 children. Know that you can attend her classes precisely as you are. She hopes to facilitate confidence and love of self and others with her thoughtfully crafted classes. She loves a good theme and has been frequently known to go a little overboard with it. Her ultimate goal as a teacher is for you to leave class feeling lighter, stronger, and glad that you came.

Lauren is a lover of learning and people, particularly teens. That’s why teaching high school social studies can feel like a dream job most days. On the more challenging days, it’s her yoga and meditation practice that offers balance and peace. She recently completed her 200-hour yoga teacher certification through Breathe for Change, an organization that focuses on social-emotional learning strategies, and mindfulness for educators. She didn’t expect to fall in love with teaching yoga and is excited to explore sharing wellness with others! She first practiced with Megan a couple of years ago on a lawn outside of a local coffee shop. Lauren says “I still can’t believe all of the creative goodness that continues to flow from MYT and I feel so honored to be a part of it.” Born and raised in KC, Lauren loves music, local coffee shops, hiking, and traveling with her family: her husband, Joe (also a social studies teacher), and two jovial kiddos, Delaney and Caleb (ages 5 and 2).

My first experience with Buti Yoga was in Kirksville, MO at my favorite little yoga studio in 2015. The music was loud, we laughed, we sweated, and I fell in love! Since then I became integrated into the Buti Yoga network in Kansas City where I became certified to teach Buti Yoga in 2017. I have taught ever since, and I feel that I always meet the most wonderful women (and men) through Buti. It is my goal in each Buti Yoga class to challenge you, to encourage you, and to get to know you.

Natalie Rain Pellow is RYT 200 certified from the highland square school of yoga as well as Reiki II certified from SHINE Akron. Natalie started practicing yoga and mindfulness a few years back when she felt called for a change and followed her intuition for guidance, which led her to step onto her mat and begin the journey within yoga and reiki. She soon fell in love with her practice and knew from her very first yoga class that it was right where she was meant to be. Natalie shows authenticity in her personality, having true passion and always wanting to inspire and teach others.

Sarah has an energetic spirit and is passionate about writing, yoga, and her community. She started practicing yoga to find peace and stay present and fell in love with the beauty in connecting breath to movement. As your teacher, she hopes to help you ground down and find your center on the mat so you feel more at peace off the mat.

I believe yoga is for everyone. I want to inspire people to become the person they were created to be physically, mentally and spiritually. I'm a E-RYT with well over 15,000 hours on the mat as an instructor. My classes are warm, challenging and soulful . Inspired by all kinds of music, I use gentle alignments to help yogis discover more about their own body. I share thought provoking insights to challenge yogis to live yoga "off the mat" and bring the 8 limbs of yoga to the practice. When I'm not teaching yoga or co-leading Zen Zone Yoga Teacher Training, I'm a certified health and life coach for a Functional medicine practice in Kansas City, MO. I'm married to my college sweetheart, have 3 children, 5 grandchildren and a dog. You'll find me doing yoga on the water at Lake Jacomo on my SUP or our sailboat; I also enjoy cooking, cycling, hiking, knitting, reading, running and getting creative anyway I can. I hope to see you on the mat soon!

Meet Diana Wise she began practicing yoga over a decade ago to supplement different workout and fitness routines. After struggling with chronic joint and back pain for as long as she could remember, she realized that yoga was the best exercise for her body, and began practicing regularly in 2022. Over the next year the amazing effects of yoga were becoming apparent in all aspects of her life, and during a transformational yoga retreat with MYT in early 2023, Diana knew she needed to better understand what was happening within herself. She needed to find a way to share the beauty and magic of yoga with others. Outside of the yoga studio, Diana is married to her (incredibly supportive) high school sweetheart Brian. She loves reading, binging tv shows or movies, game nights, music (especially live), travel, anything artsy, and is often busy hosting or planning an event or attending her teenage children’s dance and soccer activities. Happiest in the sunshine on a beach, she will never turn down a chance to put her feet in the ocean. Diana is passionately and professionally involved with international exchange, and through hosting, they’ve been able to add many more children to their own family, each of them holding a special place in their hearts. In her class you will find a welcoming environment for everyone, with fun playlists (song or style requests are always welcome), and the opportunity to step away from your daily life to do something good for yourself. Her goal is for everyone in her class to leave feeling better than when they came in.
