Maggie is passionate about making yoga accessible, community based, and useful for navigating the ups & downs of everyday life.   

Maggie McKeever (she/her) is a Yoga facilitator. In 2015 she went to India for her first Yoga teacher training, and has continued to practice and train in contemporary Hatha, Flow, Yoga Nidra, Pregnancy, and Yin Yoga. In 2021 she completed a 100 hour training in Trauma-informed Yoga & Embodied Social Change. In March 2022 she completed the empirically-validated Trauma Centre Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) method, a 300 hour training with the Center for Trauma & Embodiment at Justice Resource Institute.

Maggie’s teaching is influenced by trauma-informed yoga, mindful self compassion teachings, the cyclical wisdom of the Celtic wheel, nature, and rest practices. She is passionate about making yoga accessible, community based, and useful for navigating the ups & downs of everyday life.  

Yoga and her yoga studies have been key for supporting her to regulate her nervous system, get to know her own unhealthy relational patterns, coping mechanisms and to find embodied ways to feel empowered and have agency in her life. While in Australia, Maggie began teaching yoga in outreach settings and that was where she first came across the trauma informed yoga approach and has been finding ways to integrate this into her facilitation since.
