Hey ya’ll!
Melissa here...thanks for stopping by! I’m a 500-hr professional yoga instructor, life coach and astrologer. A Georgia native, I hold bachelor’s degrees in psychology and criminal justice from the University of Georgia. I earned my teaching certifications from the Nosara Yoga Institute of Costa Rica where I credit my teachers Don and Amba Stapleton for my unique, interdisciplinary style of yoga. I have thousands of hours of teaching experience and include among my clients children, seniors, (and everyone in between), athletic organizations and corporations. I am currently registered with Yoga Alliance as a Continuing Education Provider, Children’s Yoga Instructor, and an E-RYT 500. I spend most of my time leading and developing curriculum for 200 and 300-hr YTT programs and offer private lessons, group classes, workshops and retreats all along the Emerald Coast. |

My Approach
|
My approach to yoga asana
is functional, skills-based and dogma-free! This allows me to incorporate a wealth of knowledge from other movement modalities, such as Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) and Thomas Hanna Somatics. I believe truth and authority lies in an individual's own experience and consider no movement right or wrong, good or bad, only safe and/or accessible. |
