What You Will Find with Yogic MicroRituals

Helping you feel better, create abundance & power to lead the way. Yogic daily micro rituals that work.

Here’s what Mel’s students say:

“Mel has had a profound impact on my life - through her yoga classes, programs, and the many gifts she shares so generously. I knew the moment I met her many years ago that she was no ordinary yoga instructor. She had a deep connection to something greater and she brought that wisdom to her students with realness, heart and humor.”
Heidi
“Mel is a wonderful teacher and mentor. She’s direct, kind, and approaches her work with a balanced sense of seriousness and levity. In addition, her perspectives on immunity and marma enriched my experience as a yoga teacher and practitioner.”
Rich
“Mel brings her decades of practice and study, her wealth of yoga knowledge, and best of all her warm, loving and fun personality to the table to share. I think about things Mel taught us every single day, in pretty much all aspects of my life.”
Leta
“Mel is one of those people everyone wants to be around- her kindness and energy are a gift. If you get the opportunity to take a class or training with her just do it! You will not regret it.”
Amy
“The healing and transformation continue for me today. This path with Mel has carried me through several life thresholds with greater confidence, self-trust, and peace. It has given me something I can always return to - something both seen and unseen.”
Cherie
