Testimonials

"Melissa is the ideal yoga instructor for your corporate event. We hired Melissa for a 6 week yoga retreat for our clients.  Our clients work in a high-stress industry, and it was imperative to provide a safe and soothing ambiance to have a successful retreat.  Her thoroughness, calm voice and overall energy created the perfect ambiance for the 30 individuals that attended each week.  The group appreciated her attention to individuals whether they were beginner, intermediate or advanced individuals."
