Embark on a transformative self-discovery and holistic wellness journey with our invigorating Ashtanga Yoga classes. Rooted in ancient yoga traditions, Ashtanga Yoga offers a dynamic and structured approach to yoga practice, combining breathwork (pranayama), movement (asana), and meditation to cultivate physical strength, mental clarity, and spiritual awareness.
Led by experienced and certified yoga instructors, My Ashtanga Yoga classes suit practitioners of all levels, from beginners to advanced students. Each class begins with a grounding meditation and breath awareness, setting the intention for the practice and creating a calm and focused mindset.
Students will flow through the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga, known as "Yoga Chikitsa" or Yoga Therapy, through a carefully sequenced series of postures. This systematic sequence of poses is designed to detoxify the body, improve flexibility, and build strength while also promoting internal balance and harmony.
The dynamic nature of Ashtanga Yoga encourages practitioners to move with intention and mindfulness, synchronizing breath with movement to create a moving meditation. As students progress through the practice, they will develop greater physical endurance, mental resilience, and emotional stability while deepening their connection to the present moment.
In addition to the physical benefits, Ashtanga Yoga offers profound psychological and spiritual benefits, helping students cultivate inner peace, self-awareness, and spiritual awakening. By integrating the principles of yoga philosophy into the practice, students will learn to develop compassion, gratitude, and acceptance both on and off the mat.
Whether you want to build strength, increase flexibility, or deepen your spiritual practice, our Ashtanga Yoga classes provide a supportive and nurturing environment for personal growth and transformation. Join us on the mat and experience the transformative power of Ashtanga Yoga in your life.
Namaste.

About Me
Hello, I'm Melanie, a certified yoga instructor, Macrobiotic nutrition and philosophy teacher, french tutor, retreat leader, and passionate about sharing wellness gifts with others. With years of experience and a deep commitment to holistic wellness, I'm dedicated to creating a supportive and nurturing environment for students of all levels to thrive.
What to Expect:
In my sessions, you can expect a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where everyone is encouraged to explore and honor their unique body and abilities. Each session is designed to be accessible yet challenging, allowing you to progress at your own pace while honoring your body's needs.
Session Structure:
Our sessions begin with a brief centering practice to ground ourselves and connect with our breath. We'll then move through a series of asanas (yoga poses), focusing on proper alignment, breath awareness, and mindful movement. I'll offer modifications and adjustments throughout the practice to ensure everyone feels supported and comfortable.
Benefits of Practicing Together:
Practicing yoga together strengthens our bodies, increases flexibility, and cultivates community and connection. Yoga is not just about physical postures; it's also about creating space for self-reflection, self-care, and personal growth. Together, we'll explore how yoga can enrich every aspect of our lives, both on and off the mat.
Join Me:
Whether you're looking to reduce stress, improve flexibility, or find more joy and balance in your life, I invite you to join me on this journey of yoga exploration. No matter where you are on your yoga journey, there is always something new to discover and learn.
Let's roll out our mats, breathe deeply, and dive into the transformative practice of yoga together. I can't wait to see you on the mat!
Namaste.
