You don’t have to earn rest.
You don’t have to finish the list first.
You don’t have to keep pushing.

Rest isn’t weakness.
It’s your body remembering safety.
It’s how healing begins.

Why Try Private Yoga Therapy?

Group classes are wonderful—but sometimes we need something a little more personal. 💛

Private yoga therapy gives you space to slow down, breathe, and tune in to your body in a safe, supportive way. Each session is created around what you need most—maybe easing pain, calming anxiety, improving mobility, or simply learning how to rest again.

It’s not about perfect poses. It’s about learning gentle tools that help you feel more at home in yourself—body, mind, and heart.
If you’re curious how yoga therapy might support your health and well-being, I’d love to talk with you about what that could look like.

Breathwork is powerful — but a breath coach and a certified yoga therapist aren’t the same.

🔹 Breath Coach – teaches general breathing techniques to relax, focus, or boost performance.
🔹 Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) – uses breath, movement, and mindfulness as part of a personalized plan to support chronic pain, anxiety, trauma recovery, and more.

Yoga therapy training is 1,000+ hours and includes anatomy, physiology, psychology, and clinical practice. It’s a whole-person, collaborative approach — often working alongside healthcare providers to create lasting change.

💡 If you want more than just breathwork — a tailored path for body, mind, and nervous system — yoga therapy may be the next step.

Your breath may know more about your mental health than you think.
A recent article in The New York Times highlights new research showing that we each have a unique “breath print”—a pattern in the way we breathe that can reveal signs of anxiety, depression, and even resilience.

As a certified yoga therapist, this confirms what I see every day:
🫁 The way we breathe reflects how we feel—and how we heal.
In my sessions, I guide clients to use simple, targeted breathing and movement practices to calm the nervous system, improve mood, and reconnect with the body in a safe, supportive way.

If you're curious how breathwork and mindful movement could support your well-being, let’s talk.

Every breath you take, they really may be watching you.

Melanie’s Story

Melanie's interest in yoga began in college, where she practiced in between classes. She loved it, but after graduation, balancing job, family, and city life, her yoga practice got pushed to the side. She spent the next ten years as an advertising executive; overworked, overweight, and stressed to the limit. At age 35 she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Suffering constant fatigue, the meds were, at times, worse than the diseases. Something needed to change. The only good days were days including light exercise, so she committed to practice yoga five days a week. The results were startling. She began to look and feel better and was able (with professional medical support) to discontinue almost all of the meds she was taking. The more yoga she did, the better she felt. Energized and motivated to share her results with others, she gave up the corporate world and devoted herself to practicing and teaching yoga. Her passion for the positive benefits of yoga makes her an ideal teacher, leading by example with compassionate and gentle encouragement. She made a positive change, and she wants to help others achieve a healthier, happier life. Melanie encourages open hearts and open minds so that the students can carry that openness with them where ever they may go. Melanie completed her 200 teacher training at Empower, and is certified in teaching Yoga for Arthritis, and works part-time at the American Red Cross.
