TESTIMONIALS
“Melanie is the type of teacher who truly cares about each student and will notice you possibly far before you even notice her. She carries a certain humility that cannot be taught and her overwhelming generosity and giving nature is what makes her such a welcoming teacher. Melanie’s deep dedication to spiritual truth and facing her own demons and darkness adds to the longevity of her practice and the strength of her presence. ”
“Mel’s lighthearted spirit and attention to her students made her class feel like it was tailored just for me. I would love to take another of her classes. Her upbeat spirit and inclusive attitude makes her a wonderful yoga teacher.
”
“Melanie is a bundle of positive, light and colourful energy. She brings such a unique vibe to her classes, leaving everyone with a smile on their face!”
“Melanie is a true inspiration. It is hard not to make an instant connection with her as she is so genuine and greets and treats everyone with such warmth. In a session she exuberates energy, patience, thoughtfulness and she is so mindful in her attempt to ensure that everyone gets exactly what they need. Her classes are unique and challenging while being fun and lighthearted. She always finds ways to make you smile especially when pushing yourself
to do what you never thought possible. We are honoured that she donates her time to lead yoga sessions by donation to Wings of Courage and we thank her for her commitment to the young people we support.”
