Meredith (she/her)

Meredith’s journey with healing movement started when she was diagnosed with scoliosis at age three and prescribed either surgery or ballet. Her parents choose ballet, and she made her home in the dance studio for decades after that. She discovered both modern dance and writing in college, studying and practicing both.

Her first yoga class was in Los Angeles at age 22, and she has been a steady student of yoga ever since. She has trained in Barre and Yin Yoga and loves all movement forms that help her perforate that split we sometimes imagine between mind and body.

After earning a PhD in African American Literature and Film with a focus on Critical Whiteness Studies, Meredith taught writing and literature at the college level. Sherecently shifted away from institutional-based teaching and works as a freelance editor, writer, and writing coach. You can find her writing at www.meredithmccarroll.com.
