Melisande is a yoga teacher, studio owner and dedicated student who has been practicing yoga for more than half her life. She was born into a family that believed in the power of yoga and was influenced to begin her practice at a very young age. She believes that it is her dharma (duty) to share Yoga with as many people as possible: "I want others to be able to experience the same transformational effects that I have received from the practice. I firmly believe that each time you step onto your yoga mat you are committing yourself to a practice of self-reflection, discovery, and love. My ultimate goal is to inspire others to believe in themselves the same way my teachers have inspired me".
After completing a degree in business management, Melisande decided it was time to follow her heart and travel to India to complete her first yoga teacher training in 2016. After returning from India, she began teaching right away and has not stopped since. Melisande sees herself as equally a teacher and a student. She is dedicated to the practice of yoga and wishes to spend a lifetime learning, sharing and evolving. She has completed over 1000 hours in trainings including ashtanga yoga, vinyasa yoga, aerial yoga, yin yoga, barre fitness, FRS inspired mobility and studied with incredible teachers such as Kino Mcgreggor, Erin Evans, Lydia Zamorano, Sean Corne, Matt Phippen, Meghan Currie, Bernie Clark and Carrie Owerko. She teaches a variety of styles including hot yoga, flow yoga, power yoga, yin yoga, aerial yoga and mobility practices.
