Missy M.

Meditation Teacher

Escape to Yoga

Missy McMurray is a certified mindfulness teacher who initially turned to meditation in a desperate attempt to cope with chronic pain. Over time she realized that while pain is an inevitable part of life, it is resistance that actually causes suffering. By understanding our response to our experience, we can return to our wholeness, finding freedom and happiness readily available. Missy completed her teachers training with Jack Kornfield, PhD, and Tara Brach, PhD. She now offers these tools of insight and compassion practices as she teaches in both private and group settings, and has a special interest in the rebalancing of feminine and masculine energies. She lives in the Portland area with her husband, three kids, and their new covid labradoodle.
