Melanie Psaltakis

Instructor

Opus Yoga

Melanie Psaltakis, E-RYT 500, is a Viniyoga-inspired teacher with a background in Vinyasa and therapeutic yoga. Teaching since 2008, her classes are breath-centric and taught in a slow-flow format, not in pursuit of textbook alignment, but with the intention of helping you identify your unique structural challenges, shed dysfunctional patterns, and activate your untapped potential. This can manifest as awakening to the process of how to strengthen your low back, release tension in your neck and shoulders, or even surface and release patterns in the subtle body. Coupled with Melanie’s insightfulness and spirited lifeforce, her classes embody The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali "to practice with steadiness and ease,” so that the body and mind flow like water, and meditation becomes the natural result both on and off the mat.Off the mat, Melanie is an avid runner, cyclist, hiker, adventurist and wellness travel specialist. She owns her own travel business (Wayfinders Travel) and leads yoga retreats both domestically and internationally.
