Mel’s Story

What I adore most about Yoga is how it can make you feel.

You could be having the most terrible day, nothing is going right, your mind is thinking the worst, then you decided to attend a yoga class and for that hour, your problems have to be set aside - you need to be present, focusing on how it feels to move your body, how to breathe, how not to fall flat on your face (!!) and by the end of the class, you feel different, there’s a peaceful, loving communication moving through the whole body and your worries seem minimal.

I’m not saying yoga will fix all of your problems, but you learn how to use the practice in every moment of life, whether it’s through movement, breathwork, meditation, mindfulness or gratitude. For me, Yoga is not just the physical practice (Asana), it’s a beautiful and complex web of self regulation and discovery, where the final destination is a place of peace.

I started my teaching journey in the foothills of the Himalayas in 2014, whilst travelling the length and breadth of India. I returned to the UK and completed further training in rocket, restorative and pre-natal, in addition to an advance training with my teacher Simon Borg-Oliver. The practices I have adopted over the last ten years of teaching and training help me to return to a place where I no longer feel stuck.

I can’t wait to share this journey with you!
