Hi, I'm Melody - a certified RYT200 yoga instructor with an additional teacher certification in Yin Yoga, and a licensed massage therapist since 2008 with over a thousand teaching and practical hours.  In my yoga, I teach from the heart - from a place of softness, intention, and deep presence, with a love for the slow introspective layers of Yin, the gentle fluid strength of Vinyasa, and the quiet healing nourishment of Restorative yoga.  I'm honored to share my practice that has brought me grounding, wisdom, grace, and deep connections - on and off the mat.

To me, yoga is more than a physical practice - it's a return. A return to breath, to stillness, to the quiet truth within.  It's a space where we can listen inward, move with mindful intention, find rest in stillness, and remember that we are already whole. It's not about striving - it's about softening. Creating space to breath, to feel, to simple BE.

My classes are a gentle invitation to slow down, to move with care and intention, to breathe with awareness, and to rest deeply with compassion.  Whether you're flowing, holding or simply breathing, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, seen, nourished, and supported - just as you are. To offer space for exploration, restoration, and connection.

I carry the words of Rumi that speak to the heart of my practice:

"There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen."  I believe yoga is a return - a coming home to the body, the breath, and the heart. To listen to that quiet voice within - the one that lives beneath the noise - a rediscovering of our own steady center.

"Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop."  I believe in the beauty of letting go and in the quiet transformations that happen when we do.

These quotes remind me that yoga is not about perfection or performance, but about presence. Letting go. Coming home to yourself, again and again.

I'm honored to guide and grow with others on this journey.  I truly believe yoga is for everybody. Together we can find our own rhythm, ease and calm. Everyone is welcome here.
