ABOUT MELANIE
Melanie was introduced to Kundalini Yoga 32 years ago. Her instruction centers on the teachings of Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar. Melanie trained with Aadil Palkhivala and Mirra, studied with Gary Kraftsow of American Viniyoga Institute, Leslie Kaminoff of The Breathing Project, Judith Hanson Lasater and holistic yoga studies with Doug Swenson. Melanie is certified with Yoga Alliance (since 2003), is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists and has contributed to Yoga Journal Magazine. Her students range in age from 5 to 92 years and include educational teachers and professional groups, Olympic and elite athletes, individuals dealing with chronic illness and those recovering from injury or surgery.
As well as Hatha yoga, Melanie's workshops and retreats often explore the Eight Limbs, Vedic Yoga, partner yoga, mudras and personal modifications for practice.
Melanie is the Yoga Director at Winthrop Physical Therapy and Fitness in Winthrop, Washington and owner of In Balance Yoga.
Melanie conducts workshops and retreats locally and internationally. For a list of currently scheduled events, go to WORKSHOPS & RETREATS page. If you are interested in private sessions with Melanie, or having her lead a workshop or retreat for you, go to CONTACT page .
Melanie is an amazing yoga guide/teacher. She shares the adaptations for poses which, along with her feedback, help us as individuals maximize our own yoga potential. Past yoga experiences were that if I couldn't do the pose,
I was frustrated and fumbling. Melanie's classes are excellent.
