Melanie is a wise, compassionate, and traditional teacher of Ashtanga yoga.

For years, I searched for a yoga teacher at many studios around town. When I attended my first class with Melanie, I knew immediately that I was in the right place. Many of her students have been practicing with her for decades and there is also a warm welcome for every new student in her classes. I appreciate her modeling of the practice through her own depth of practice and dedication to cultivating a community of yogis. Over the years, Melanie has become much more than a yoga teacher and has also been a powerful mentor as a mother, ally, and human being.
