Introduction: I enjoy teaching a powerful vinyasa flow and making it accessible to all. Beginners to advanced yogis, I enjoy working with all levels of experience. The practice I teach is challenging and meant to help empower students. Taking what they learn on the mat out into the world to help move through difficult situations in life. I am inspired by people who are willing to make a difference for themselves. When I'm asked to teach, it ignites a passion in me to help support my student as they practice self care in showing up to practice, grow and learn.

I had a wonderful 45 min yoga session with Melissa as my instructor. She was thoughtful, caring and patient. She possesses an unparalleled ability to tailor each session to the individual or group she's instructing. Give her a shot, you won't regret it!

Melissa was awesome! As a newcomer to yoga, I felt very comfortable and in tune with myself while indulging in her class. Melissa was very knowledgeable and aware of each person in her session making for a peaceful intimate environment. I would highly recommend Melissa as an instructor, as she has inspired me to appreciate yoga even more!

I knew nothing about yoga and Melissa's impeccable teachings and precise instructions has led me to believe anyone is capable of this kind of physical activity! I decided to pursue yoga classes at a studio close to where I live aftery personal lessons with her and realized that she explains each transition in a much more elaborate manner than some experienced yoga teachers. I highly recommend her to all, despite your level of experience!

She took the time to break down integration. Really helping me and my husband understand alignment, propper posture, and how to use foundation as the building blocks to a yoga practice. She offered us tools like drishti and ujayi to allow us to connect back to our bodies and return to the present moment in our practice. Great experience and I highly recommend her.

If I could give a ZERO, I would. I thought she was going to be a great instructor for 50 of my students who were on a special field trip to try yoga for the first time. On the day of the event, 45 minutes before her session, she emailed me that she was sick. What a horrible experience for 50 students who PAID for her to come and do a yoga session. So disappointed.

MO.Yoga's reply

Nadia, thank you for your feedback. I am terribly sorry I could not be with you and your students yesterday morning. I was extremely ill and unable to teach a class. In the future, I'll be sure to line up a substitute to teach for me in case another situation like this occurs. I'll also be sure to call earlier if I know I cannot make it. I do hope your students enjoyed the other 3-4 hours of their special program that day. Again, I'm sorry I was unable to spend the hour with them.
