Testimonials
I am an 85 year old woman with aging bones and joints. Meagan’s knowledge of skeletal muscular issues, her attention to my specific weakness and strength and her deep commitment to helping me navigate aging with confidence is invaluable. I consider the two hours per week I spend with Meagan simply life saving.

Meagan Koehler is a phoenix. She is strong, determined, imaginative, and resilient. She will take no shit from you, her neighbor, or a wonky Reformer. She rises from impossible workouts and difficult situations with fiery grace.
When my family moved to Asheville in 2015, I couldn’t find an exercise class that fit my hard-driving New York City schedule. I called the studio and begged someone to see me at sunup.
When she said, “Meet me at 7:00am on Friday,” I didn’t realize that one of the best Pilates teachers in the world had just agreed to haul out of bed and train me.
Meagan reformatted my body: she restored muscles wasted by my C-section, retrained poor muscle patterns of movement, and taught me how to truly connect body to brain. Inside the studio, she convinced me to do things that were way outside my comfort zone, subtly encouraging me to grow way outside my comfort zone beyond the studio, too.
Meagan’s studio was my refuge and crucible during some painful transitions. Meagan shows up - she is the Post Offices of phoenixes - and her consistency taught me how to keep showing up, even when I didn’t feel well, prepared, happy, or interested. When something goes awry, Meagan pivots - she’s the Tim Duncan of phoenixes - she moves with uncommon ease and fluidity when everyone else is floundering about.
The idea of De Los Devine Law was conceived while I was hanging by my ankles from Meagan’s Cadillac. Not the firm, per se - just the idea of building a business like Meagan’s studio.

When I met Meagan Koehler, I knew someone special had just entered my life. As I watched her work and watched her learn at the Classical Pilates Conference in Chicago my original feelings were confirmed. She has an openness of both mind and heart. Meagan has a loyalty and dedication to everything she does from her love and care for her friends and family, to her students, to the Pilates method and her continued studies. I have had the privilege to be part of her Pilates journey and I know any student of hers will find that all her special qualities make her an amazing teacher and woman.

I’ve been teaching Pilates since 2010 and love taking lessons with Meagan for her attention to detail, her knowledge of the Pilates system, and her thoughtful and expert guidance as a teacher. I'm grateful to have her in Asheville as a peer and someone I can geek out with about Pilates. I highly value her cueing, training, and teaching style, and to top it off, she's a lovely human and her studio is beautiful.
