For more than 10 years, Melanie has utilized yoga to help stay in the present moment. As a college student, she frequently turned to her practice to work through harsh anxiety. She has found that yoga, and the communities surrounding it, continue to help her get outside of her own busy mind to find more moments of peace.

She hopes to create a centering environment for new students, encouraging them to leave the stresses of the day at the door and to fully immerse themselves in their practice. Melanie’s classes focus on breathwork and form while adding occasional elements of interpretive movement and strength-building. Her goal is to help students find more inner and physical wellness in a challenging, yet welcoming environment.

Outside of yoga, Melanie is a lover of art, weekend road trips, and nature. She enjoys running, biking, dancing, and keeping her exercise regimen fresh and full of new experiences. Melanie recently completed her 200-hour certification with Sound Method Yoga.
