About Melissa M

I am a Registered Nurse with a background in oncology nursing and a Doctor of Nursing Practice student specializing in Integrative Health and Healing at the University of Minnesota. I received my 200-hour RYT certification through the University of Minnesota’s Center of Spirituality and Healing Hatha Yoga Teacher Training program, which emphasizes yoga anatomy, philosophy, and teaching principles. With over 20 years of experience in various styles of Yoga—including Hatha flow, Vinyasa, Sivananda, Restorative, and Yin—I bring a holistic approach to my teaching, blending traditional yoga practices with a deep understanding of health and wellness.

March 15, 2024

Typical Training Session

The first session would include an initial assessment of wellness goals, previous yoga experience, and a review of any injuries or illnesses that may delay progress in the present or past. After the initial assessment is complete, I will guide a 45-minute yoga class based on the specific needs of the client(s). The following training sessions include a 60-75 minute yoga class, which will consist of pranayama (breathwork), asana (movement), savasana (final rest), and meditation.
