If your yoga vibe is...

... you've found your tribe!

  • Building a loving, trusting bond with your body by feeling into the postures, without rushing or the pressure to perform;
  • Silence or mantras so you can listen to the wisdom of your inner voice;
  • Yoga philosophy woven through your classes to inspire your practice and your life;
  • Inclusive posture variations;
  • Freedom from diet culture and patriarchal conditioning;
  • Unconditional rest and acceptance.

“That was an amazing hour.
It took me to a very happy, calm place.
I needed that.
Thank you, Melanie.”
 - Joan Gross
