Yoga & Writing Workshops 

As an E-RYT500, YACEP-certified yoga teacher and university instructor of creative writing, I offer a variety of workshops, specializing in Mindful Writing, Chakras, Yoga Philosophy, Yin Yoga, and more.

​

It's my aim to help students discover the inner peace that exists within them. My workshops and retreats fuse poetry, philosophy, and a lighthearted spirit to help students feel relaxed, inspired, and more deeply connected to themselves and the world around them.

Melissa's sweet presence, soothing voice, and beautiful instruction create a space for me to go deeper within and experience healing and relaxation.

Melissa is an excellent writing instructor: her quick and genuine smiles and her enthusiasm draws people to her. I only wish I’d found her writing events sooner!

--- Mike F.

Thank you, Melissa, for sharing your expertise with our group today.  I'm afraid I am a beginner at 72 years of age, but felt uplifted enough to start writing, after a long hiatus, when I arrived home.
