Biography

Melanie is a Calgary-based Yoga teacher, Holistic Nutritionist & Reiki Practitioner. Growing up as an athlete, she always had a passion for health & wellness. After becoming a Holistic Nutritionist in 2013 she began to understand that being healthy wasn’t just about what you put in your body, it was just as important to balance the emotional, spiritual and energetic aspects of yourself. Up until then, she had pursued yoga as injury-prevention and fitness but quickly began to see positive shifts in her mental, emotional and spiritual body. Yoga and meditation brought her to a place of deep connection and self-love and she understands that healing starts from the inside out. Melanie is passionate about sharing and creating safe space for others to connect to their true selves and find true love.

Her yoga classes focus on breath work, mind-body connection, and healing from the inside out– all complimented by contemporary music to form an inviting atmosphere. She inspires students and clients to connect with their authentic selves and embrace all of their unique abilities.

Melanie graduated from the 200-hour Vinyasa teacher-training program at Karma Teachers Vancouver. She’s taught at studios, workshops & retreats with Lululemon, Saje Wellness & Chloe’s Countertop and more.

Biography

The decision to become a yogi wasn’t one that I consciously made but rather one that unfolded through a series of life events and well-planned timing ( thanks Universe). Cliche as it may be, my practice began as a means to escape, and an attempt to mend, a very broken heart. While I have come to discover that yoga is much more than poses placed skillfully on a mat, it was this physical practice that gave me refuge. At a time in my life when nothing seemed to make sense, yoga did.

The initial step into my first YTT was one fuelled by a longing for something more. I am forever grateful to Rob Walker at the Alberta Yoga College for instilling a sense of curiosity in me and for allowing me to explore the transition from a student to both a student and teacher of yoga. Since graduating from the College I have been incredibly blessed to mentor daily under the gaze of my most cherished yoga teacher Tamara Terry.

Presently, I am completing my 300 RYT with Kate Mak at the Mynah school of yoga. In my classes, I aim to weave the physical practice with music, laughter, mindfulness, and most importantly, love. I will challenge you to move through the asana practice skillfully and ask that you trust yourself enough to move from a place of intention rather than one of habit. From one yogi to another, I would be honored and delighted to share my practice with you.

Biography

Amy is a local Parkhill resident and yoga instructor. She has been practicing yoga for over fifteen years and was grateful to deepen her practice as a student of Rob Walker at the Alberta Yoga College teacher training program.

Her classes adopt a flowing vinyasa style with elements of breathwork and the occasional deeper, longer hold. Amy is passionate about movement, proprioception and breath, and their relationship to brain plasticity and adaptation.

Yoga makes us feel good and there are endless reasons why this is true; Amy loves to explore and express this mind/body/breath connection through her practice of teaching.
