About Me
E-500-RYT Yoga Instructor with 27 years of personal practice and 22 years of professional teaching experience
across Canada and the United States. Melissa teaches within the classical traditions of Hatha and Kundalini
Yoga, offering a breath-led, integrative approach that weaves asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, mudra, and
drishti into a cohesive system of practice. Her teaching supports nervous system stability, hormonal balance, and
healthy circulation, while guiding practitioners toward greater clarity, steadiness, and an embodied relationship to
the deeper dimensions of self through disciplined yogic practice.
About My Service
I offer private yoga instruction for individuals and small groups, providing thoughtful, personalized teaching rooted in the classical traditions of Hatha and Kundalini Yoga. My approach is calm, attentive, and supportive, creating a space where students feel safe to explore practice at their own pace while building consistency and confidence.
Private sessions are tailored to the needs and intentions of each student or group and may include asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, and gentle kriya-based practices. I also facilitate private group classes for families, organizations, and community settings, adapting the practice to suit a range of experience levels and shared goals.
My work emphasizes breath, nervous system support, and sustainable practice, with the intention of helping students develop a steady, meaningful relationship to yoga that can be carried into daily life.
