About Maggie Scruggs:

Maggie has an evergreen passion for movement that is felt in every class. She has a diverse background in training, starting in college with Baptiste Power Yoga Institute. She’s added dimension to her teaching with nervous system informed trainings with Soul Yoga Therapy and most recently layering in functional movement systems and Functional Medicine. She draws influence from dance, playing with artistic expression while balancing a commitment to tapas (or inner discipline.) Maggie draws inspiration for classes from music, Chinese Medicine Theory, Ayurveda, and yoga philosophy. She encourages community building through partner sharing and hanging out after class.

She *always* encourages students to take care of themselves however they need to on and off the mat. We all have seasons of ups and downs and our mats are a place we can bring our joy, our longing, and everything in between.
