Meet Megan Alice

In 2014 Megan ran from the cold of Michigan to the warmth of South Carolina. After a short stint in Charleston she moved to Greenville, not knowing a soul and fell in love with the beauty of the city. A few weeks in, she decided on-a-whim to try aerial yoga and just one class in, the spark was lit. Megan was performing in her first aerial showcase with Maya Movement Arts a few months later, and taking part in her first teacher training within the year.

During her time with Maya Movement Arts Megan started off coaching aerial yoga, aerial hammock/sling, and conditioning. Once she tried lyra in an out of state class, she got one of her own and began self-training multiple times a week, while attending private lessons where, and whenever, she could. The more Megan explored the lyra the more she came to love the way she could combine strength and flow. Constantly trying to find the most fun and intricate ways to get from point A to B. Her students fondly call this her “noodle brain” and it has become the basis of her classes. After attending multiple lyra coaching certification courses, Megan built a curriculum and started to spread her love for this apparatus in Greenville.

Since this time, Maya Movement Arts shifted and Megan created M.Alice In Flight Studio, fondly named for her love of word play and “Alice in Wonderland” using her own middle name. M.Alice in Flight has had to make some moves around Greenville due to Covid and other Business's plans, but has found what Megan believes to be her permanent "home" in Three Bats Aerial Studio.

With extensive practice in both her professional life and aerial work, she has built an understanding of people of all ages, both mentally and physically. She enjoys helping people to recognize the strength they have in themselves that they may not have seen or acknowledged before. As a speech pathologist, she recognizes and enjoys working with different learning styles and finding how to best teach each individual student. She focuses her classes on positivity above all else (followed closely by strength and “noodling”). Once her students are familiar with the hoop, she finds joy in helping them move along with the music and their feelings as a way of expression.

In classes you’re likely to see her jumping around excitedly and telling you (loudly) how great you’re doing. Outside of class, when she’s not working, she’s spending time with her dogs and husband. Likely working with her plants, crocheting, hiking, or looking for her next travel adventure.
