Melanie Green

Melanie is a yoga teacher, mother of two, and co-director of the Berkeley Yoga Center. Born and raised in Texas, she started practicing yoga in 1992 in Austin. She made her way to Berkeley in 1997 and has been teaching yoga in the Bay Area since 2000.

In her classes, Melanie makes yoga accessible to all. While encouraging students to focus on their breath, she teaches her students to deepen their practice as they honor their bodies. She values the spiritual aspects of yoga integrated with the asanas. She especially values taking the lessons from the mat and integrating them into daily living.

Melanie's yoga background includes extensive study in Ashtanga Yoga. The Ashtanga teachers she has studied with and who inspire her most are Dena Kingsburg, Tim Miller, Peter Sanson, David Swenson and Vance Selover. In addition to her study in Ashtanga, she has trained in Iyengar, Pre/Postnatal and Vipassna Meditation. Her daily Ashtanga practice informs her teaching and gives her an abundance of experience from which to teach others.

Melanie co-owns and co-directs The Berkeley Yoga Center. She is available for public classes, group privates and individual privates.
