KIND WORDS

“...Every single person not only loved her style of teaching, but they also all loved her as a human being. She is kind, open hearted, very flexible and well traveled. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to any retreat host looking to hire a yoga teacher on an international retreat.”

Staci Levine | Founder, Sacred Woman Collective
“You won't find a better teacher to heal through yoga ... I found Melanee on a retreat and have been craving her yoga since. It was a healing experience I didn't know I needed or existed.”

SYLVIA | SACRED WOMAN COLLECTIVE RETREAT, BALI
“…Melanee is a gem. Her knowledge as a yoga teacher is evident in her sequence of poses, her adjustments to my positions, and her understanding of the right length of time to hold a pose. Melanee is sensitive to each student’s needs and limitations…”

– TRISH
“…my regard for Melanee’s teaching only grows. Warm and engaging, with a ready smile and natural ease, she moves her students seamlessly through a mindful, balanced flow of asanas, offering individual attention and helpful, non-intrusive assistance in deepening our practice…”

– ANNE
“…With Melanee’s help, I have changed my career and am developing a sustainable path that will help me get my health – and my life – back. Thank you, Melanee, I am so very grateful for what you do!”

– EMILY
“…Melanee has an incredible talent for connecting with people and takes pains to learn about (and remember!) the needs of each student. She crafts her class, which has a natural flow to them and one passes from pose to pose as if by instinct.…”

– C.M.
“… Melanee offers experienced support for her students to gently meet their edges and grow. As a health coach Melanee guides her students and clients through the often overwhelming world of nutritious eating with compassion and grace…”

– MONIKA
“… I knew I was in the right place almost immediately. Melanee's class style is a perfect combination of mediation and movement. Melanee pays attention to the needs of each student, encouraging us both to grow and to respect ourselves as we are in the moment. Melanee has helped me feel at home here and with myself. ”

– DEB
“… an effective and inspiring program for learning ways to claim a healthier relationship with food. I found it to be a pleasurable experience which I intend to repeat!”

– JULIE
“…Melanee skillfully guides her students through mentally and physically challenging exercises, in a safe and nurturing environment. Her passion for yoga is evident in her teaching and also in her way of living.”

– R.M.
“Melanee is a caring compassionate & committed instructor who is quite in tune with her students’ needs. She often reminds us of basic, yet vital elements of our yoga practice that also translate to living daily life in a more meaningful & enriching way – physically, mentally and spiritually.”

– BOB
“Melanee truly teaches from the heart with a deep experience and intuition on what her students need to know in order to develop their own practice.”

– R.G.
