    I have been practicing under Melisa for over a year now, and feel she is a prime example of what all yoga teachers should strive to be. Under her guidance my yoga practice has greatly improved. I find I'm more clear and focused, and all around more productive in my everyday life. Melisa is an awesome yoga teacher and an amazing person.
    Take a class and see for yourself.

    Melisa helped me become pain free via a combination of pilates, yoga and personal training. If you suffer with back, shoulder, neck, knee, hip or any pain, then you need to let Melisa help you.

    As a yoga teacher, being a yoga student is such a joy especially when practicing with a joyful, talented, passionate teacher like Melisa. She lights up the room with her smile, she has the gift of bringing out the best in her students as she challenges you... And she gives the BEST adjustments! I only wish I could practice with Melisa more. I highly recommend Melisa for both private sessions and group classes.
