Melanie was so fun to work with! She instructed for us at an all girls birthday party and brought such a soothing ambience to our yoga session. She provided sanitized mats and an amazing soundtrack. She very supportive through the guiding of breathing techniques and postures, making this class very beginner friendly. We all had such a great time and can’t wait to do another yoga session with her.
Thanks, Melanie !!!!

Melanie was amazing!!
We hired her for a bachelorette party in Los Angeles. She showed up in advance to set up everything so it was super easy for everyone. She was also able to tailor the class to our needs. Everyone was able to participate and enjoyed the yoga class. Would highly recommend Melanie again .

Melanie has been absolutely incredible! I would give her 10 stars on here if I could!
We are a mountain bike development team from Canada who came down to train for two months here in California. We needed a privateyoga instructor who could lead a morning routine of yoga/stretching. When I started searching, right away Melanie’s profile stood out. She is professional, accomplished, and extremely friendly and easy going. What you see in the picture is what you get! Always a big smile and in a great mood to lead us through practice. I have also had to change dates and ask Melanie to be flexible from time to time, she continuously met me with an enthusiastic attitude to help and change whatever we needed. She consistently checks in and asks how everyone is doing, making sure the needs of the group are being met. Since we are athletes the sessions have been more stretching based, and she has done a phenomenal job catering her practice to ours!
I truly can’t say enough nice things about her. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, kind, caring, genuine person to lead your next yoga journey, I highly recommend Melanie! If we could bring her with us, we definitely would!
Thank you for all you have done for us, and for what you will continue to do for others… Namaste 🙏

We had a great experience with Melanie during our morning yoga session. She was very flexible with our group’s needs and made corrections when needed. She was very on time and was prepared with yoga mats and blocks. If we are in the area again, we would definitely contact Melanie for our yoga needs!

Melanie was an absolute dream to work with! She was extremely professional and inspired the utmost confidence in us that the event would go well. We hired her for some pre-wedding yoga and I want to emphasize how incredible it truly was. She asked us what we wanted before the event, was flexible when we asked her to move the class time, and even brought eucalyptus oil for everyone for after the yoga! Many people said it was the highlight of the weekend. In addition- her class was EPIC. I want to emphasize his. I figured it'd be fun to do yoga overlooking the beach and had moderate expectations regarding the quality. The class was hands down incredible and somehow beginners and experienced yogis both loved it. We had 30+ people join the class and everyone who missed it was bummed! THANK YOU, MELANIE!!!
