WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE?

Life asks us to be open to the unexpected.
I began incorporating sacred rituals into my yoga offerings because the truth is, you can eat all the vegan food in the world and have a fantastically in-shape body and STILL be energetically misaligned. We are influenced by other peoples energies and our environments; affected both by the time of day and the date itself. It takes practice to become aware of that energy and recognize it as being separate from your own, and to me is just as important as knowing the proper alignment for Warrior 2.

Yoga is a lifestyle that teaches us how to join body/mind/soul, but intentional magic is what opens the door for us to thrive.

WHO IS YOUR INSPIRATION?

My inspiration is Indra Devi ! Born Eugenie Peterson of Russia, she was the first woman to break the glass ceiling of yoga and study beneath Sri Krishnamacharya. Known as the mother of Western yoga, Indra Devi invoked lasting social change across the globe that put into motion the idea that the practice of yoga should be accessible to men, women, and children alike.

The Yogini.

About Melody Rogsuchka

WHY YOGA?
"Honestly, why not yoga! Like a best friend who is always there to listen and love, yoga can be anything I need it to be. It's a powerful breath practice to help me wake up at 6AM, and also a tool to help settle my anxiety when I'm stuck in rush hour traffic. It's the sweaty workout I need to drop out of my mind when it's racing 100mph, and the supportive rest I need when my back and feet are tired from teaching all day.

Yoga isn't really a pose, but more a toolbox for us to draw from. It's the connection between mind and body that reminds us who we are, and allows us to face this chaotic world with a focused mind and an open heart."

You are on the path... exactly where you are meant to be right now... And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing, of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love." by Caroline Adams

FUN FACT ABOUT MELODY

I collect Alice in Wonderland books! Life to me is just like tumbling down the rabbit hole; the further we go the curiouser it gets, and the only thing we truly control is how we show up to the experiences we're given.
