MEET YOUR TEACHER

Raised in the Rocky Mountains, Melody knew from an early age that there is a special connection between people and the Earth. She recalls passionately playing in her grandmother’s garden as a child, and, always a lover of odd things, enjoyed storytelling and crafting magic kits out of plants and stones.

She’s an advocate for mental health, a survivor of childhood abuse, and longtime believer in miracles. At 17 she endured a blood clot in her brain, and first discovered Yoga Nidra as a way to escape reality. While bedridden it led her to the world within, as she learned to focus her attention and follow the breath in and out. Yoga served as a foundational tool for pain management, and laid the blueprint for future psychological, spiritual, and emotional healing.

Melody attended the University of Utah for her Bachelors degree, then went on to study Hatha Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Shamanic Ritual work in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is a 500 hour RYT with Yoga Alliance, and when not chasing around her toddler, enjoys studying folklore, training dogs, and playing video games with her husband.
