Owner/Operator/Head Instructor

Megan created Black Cat Yoga in 2021 after completing her 200 hour YT training. As someone who deals with chronic pain, she understands how it feels to have no cure or answer. She is passionate about helping others manage/relieve pain through yoga, as well as using yoga to safely exercise to stay healthy when physically limited. This special interest naturally evolved, and Megan also gained her prenatal yoga certification a year into teaching. While she respects all types of yoga, her favorite is vinyasa by far.

Vinyasa yoga allows Megan a creative space in her sequencing, which is important when yoga is both your medicine and your art. Megan also enjoys creating special events for guests and the community to enjoy. She runs the back end of the business, and will most likely be the one answering any of your calls/emails if you ever submit an inquiry!

Instructor

Marsha is a 100 hour RYT with an appreciation for a slower practice. You can find her at the studio on Tuesday nights leading the restorative yoga class. She is passionate about helping students find peaceful relaxation through restorative yoga.

While teaching yoga is Marsha’s second job, you will never catch her putting it on the back burner - she is basically “#yogagoals” with a mini practice sanctuary inside of her home.

Instructor

Amy has been practicing yoga for more than ten years, originally coming to it as a way to alleviate chronic back pain.  Digging deeper into that practice led her to discover the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh through his book Peace is Every Breath, which inspired her to deepen her mindfulness.  This journey continues to help her find healing for body, mind, and relationships.

In 2023 Amy completed her 200 hr teacher training with yoga innovator, Brett Larkin. Since then, she has been drawn to teaching at local yoga studios that promote a welcoming and inclusive environment.
In her classes you can expect plenty of time to find each pose, lots of prop usage, and prioritizing length in the spine to breathe deeply. Her hope is to help students find more awareness of body and mind, both on and off the mat. 

Instructor

Traci has been a Steel Valley school teacher for many years, and is now excited to start introducing the youth in our community to the benefits of yoga!

Now adding 200 hour yoga instructor to her teaching credentials, Traci enjoys a vinyasa practice, but can still offer a relaxing experience when needed with some added good vibes from her reiki training.

Meditation Guide

Becky is a long time Black Cat Yoga student. She is excited to bring her meditation knowledge to the yoga studio she considers her yoga home. Megan loves when a student becomes a teacher!

Becky is a full-time research manager, but decided in 2025 to pursue a meditation certification to hone in her meditation facilitation skills after many years of cultivating a personal meditation practice. She is excited to share the impact that meditation has had on her life and hopes to help students incorporate it into their lives in a way that is accessible and inclusive.
