In the summer of 2013 she completed an immersive 200-hour yoga teacher training in Vinyasa Krama Yoga with Srivatsa Ramaswami at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA.

Melinda believes in the power of Yoga to connect deeply to oneself, to build compassion for others, and to foster stewardship for the world in which we live. Her physical practice is one of slow, mindful movement synchronized with breath, and sensitivity for the art of yogasana. In her classes you will explore not only the physical postures associated with yoga, but also breathing and meditation techniques as well as yogic philosophy and chanting.

In addition to teaching public classes, Melinda also teaches corporate yoga and meditation classes through Being Well Yoga and has been a member of Pam Johnson's Tadasana Breath Troupe.
