Yoga and Melody

Melody is truly one of a kind! I have been nervous to try yoga for so many years and Melody has been a god send to me. She listens to all my concerns mentally emotionally and physically and tailors our yoga session every time to what I’m feeling in the moment. She has been gracious and patient with me being a complete beginner to Yoga. Melody is not only a knowledgeable yoga instructor teaching the most authentic practices but a wonderful human being inside and out. I am so blessed to have Melody in my life as my teacher and friend!

I began yoga classes with Melody after finishing rehab, for my shoulder pain. My pain is not isolated to my shoulder, as I have Lupus, I have severe arthritis and I am in constant pain. At 72, I started this journey with Melody in private sessions and my shoulder pain is gone, my balance and most of all my confidence has improved beyond measure. I'm so comfortable with Melody and how much stronger I've become, I've even added a group session. Melody is a knowledgeable, professional, and patient yoga instructor who will work with your individual needs. I never though that at 72 I would even be able to get off the floor like a yogi. I highly recommend you give her a call and take a private or a group class. You will be thrilled with the outcome. Kathy F

I have been coming to Melody for private classes since October. I have changed in many ways such as physically (my physique,the way I walk is better, my breathing and my mindset). When you begin practicing yoga you don’t realize at first how much it effects you on and off the mat. Yoga is my calling or should I say Mel is my calling. She is an amazing teacher with a heart of gold and always believes in me. In Melody’s classes she makes you feel at ease no matter what your level is and will work with you. All the ladies that attend are professional and kind. I was intimidated to go at first but Mel has truly prepared me for my yoga journey. I am so excited to keep practicing with Mel and have even been practicing at home. Yoga has taught me the true connection to self.

As a working mom, I tried yoga for the first time about a year ago as a way to carve out some time for myself during the hectic days. Melody is not just an instructor, but a guide. She leads her students to find what is so easily lost but so greatly needed: a calm and quiet respite designed to help regain clarity and strength in an increasingly cluttered world. Melody tailors each private session to a student’s particular needs, and their needs on any particular day. The lessons are practical and portable – they stay with you long after you leave the studio. She is always passionate but never preachy, and she shows that strength and serenity are not necessarily contrary. Her past professional experience in the field of medicine truly benefits her students, as Melody is able to address the importance of nurturing the mind, the body and the spirit.

I heard about Melody through a friend and after being out of practice for so many years was nervous about jumping back in. Melody was amazing and made me feel comfortable and welcome. Working full time and teaching acrobatics on the side meant that I had a horrible schedule. Melody fit me in and it has been one of the best experiences of my life. She is a true yoga teacher and her classes better your mind, body and soul. There are classes for everybody no matter your age or skill level. Melody is an amazing person who truly cares about her students. I love it here and have referred my friends who in turn have referred their friends. I will be a student of Yoga & Melody for life.
