Melissa was drawn to yoga at a very early age, practicing with Richard Hittleman on public television, then attending her first classes while in high school. Her yoga journey eventually brought her to some of the most wonderful teachers including Erich Schiffmann and Mary Paffard. Today Melissa emphasizes self-acceptance, grounding energies with the earth, and exploring our bodies in a playful way. Now into her second decade teaching in Mendocino County, and her third decade as a yoga practitioner, Melissa continues to evolve as a lover of the body, yoga and life.
