“I teach to provide students a space to step into themselves. Through connection of mind and body with breath we’re able to come into present if only for a moment. The more we’re able to thread these present moments together the more ourselves we feel.”

Melissa teaches physically challenging classes in an inclusive and accessible manner that shows students what they are capable of. Alignment, connection and breath work are focuses of each practice. She has a way to bring lightness and fun to the practice, as well.

Melissa is a E-RYT 200 teacher through Yoga Alliance and did her teacher training with Citizen Yoga in Royal Oak, MI. She is currently studying for her Katonah Yoga and 500 hour certifications. You can find her teaching weekly classes for Citizen Yoga in Detroit and Royal Oak, MI, public workshops, global retreats and one on one sessions.
