MELLY FLOW

YOGA TEACHER, BREATHWORK & RETREAT HOST

The foundation of Melly's yoga teachings is to ultimately lead you to a place of inner peace. While the physical body is part of the practice, greater emphasis is placed on the power of the breath, self-compassion, acceptance, and patience, all of which help you to find peace within. Melly's playlists have a large influence on the direction and energy of the practice as she encourages you to let the music take you on a journey, a journey within. 

Melissa teaches that the ultimate goal of yoga is to connect to the Divine source and the body is simply the vehicle that carries us through this journey. You'll go on a deep dive within yourself during Melly's practice to connect to that 'something bigger' and ultimately your higher consciousness where love and peace reside.
