Introduction: I stepped into my first yoga class almost by accident right after moving to New York. Once discovered, yoga became the leveler for what oftentimes felt like an intense and chaotic life in a city like NYC. As my practice progressed, I found that it wasn't just a choice to go to class, but a homecoming-a feeling of connection, relationship, and strength. Yoga has taught me that the more we stay with the things that heal us, the richer our lives become. That happy accident turned into a nearly 15 year journey to the breath, recognizing the possibility within all of us, and ultimately meeting myself along the way. When I made the transition from NYC to Nashville, I never envisioned I would be training to be a yoga teacher with the likes of Saul David Raye and Raquel Maria Bueno and (Atma Yoga YTT). I teach 4 different classes at Liberation Yoga, as well as volunteering in and around Nashville at Preston Taylor Ministries, Mending Hearts, and more. As I move back and forth from student to teacher, I am reminded that we are all students/we are all teachers; regardless of status, position, training, etc. "Wow, I really wish I didn't practice yoga today.”- says no one ever... See y'all on the mat. I take great pride in being able to share this beautiful healing gift of yoga. Oftentimes, I am struck by how greatful I am to get to do this and be a part of someone else's journey. It is quite the gift. Our time will be tailored to your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, incorporating pranayama (breath techniques), asana (physical postures/poses), meditation, and more! I look forward to hearing from you! Please let me know if you have any questions!

Yoga with Melissa will transform your life and your sense of self, in the best ways. She is easy to follow, with clear directions and a peaceful, serene voice. My hour-and-a-half session with her felt like 15 minutes, and I never wanted it to end! You'll love her musical choices and her guided meditations leading into the shavasana. My body, mind and soul were gently cared for during her practice. Thank you, Melissa!

Melissa brings the true light of yoga to the mat through her teaching style and yogic philosophy's. She's hands down one of the best Yoga Teachers I've found this side of the Mississippi. After a session with Melissa I feel strong and clear in my mind and most of all ready for life! If your looking for a private yoga instructor I highly recommend Melissa Hammans. ~Namaste ~

Melissa makes me feel like I have been practicing yoga for years, even though I'm a beginning. She's an awesome instructor and her spirit is contagious on and off the mat.

Melissa brings true soul to her classes. I personally go to yoga because my mind and heart need it just as much as my body. Melissa's classes feel physically very fluid and always restorative for my spirit. And...she is hilarious--often saying something that reminds me to laugh and just breathe!

Class with Melissa is awesome! Her emphasis on the connection between mind, body and breath creates a meaningful space to practice.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    We begin with a consultation (in phone or in person) to discuss the needs and goals of the individual or group. From there I tailor a yoga practice suitable to your needs, incorporating asana (poses), pranayama (breath work), and dhyāna (meditation). I look forward to helping you facilitate your relationship with yoga, be it just the beginning or a continuation of a life long practice. All levels are welcome and encouraged! Ultimately our work together will allows space for students to connect deeply with their own authentic power, spirit and truth.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have had the privilege of practicing yoga for the past 15 years, completing my teacher training with Saul David Raye and Raquel Bueno. Additional trainings include: Ayurveda (a science of life (Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge), Mantra (a powerful sound or vibration that you can use to enter a deep state of meditation), Pre-Natal Yoga, Non-Violent Communication, Pranayama, Restorative Yoga, and more.
