Margie Newman is an event creative director, speechwriter, speaking coach, and Kripalu-certified RYT® 500 yoga and meditation teacher who is deeply interested in the science and neuroscience of yoga. Her yoga and meditation teachings emphasize breath awareness as a path to mind-body connection, stress relief, and getting out of one’s own way. Margie first came to yoga over 20 years ago for the movement practice, and then stayed for the mind-body connection. Her curiosity about how yoga and meditation could change our nervous systems in profound ways led her to study how ancient yoga texts and practices align with modern neuroscience. As a creative director and speaker coach for large events, Margie incorporates pranayama (yogic breathwork) and meditation to help speakers overcome fear and anxiety related to public speaking. Through these practices, she empowers speakers to find a more calm, confident presence on stage. Margie earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Media Communications from University of Missouri Saint Louis, and Master’s Degree in English and Theory Writing from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. She has received multiple Emmy, Telly, and Aurora awards as a producer and writer for public television programming and for her work on independent documentary films (1999-2011). She lives in Chicago.
