"Shared bliss is higher than individual bliss."  
Dhanurdhana Swami


Hello & thank you for stopping by!
​
​I love Yoga and I LOVE sharing what I learn, SO 
I have begun to offer a few of my signature workshops at different studios around Rochester & the Finger Lakes region & would love to share them with you!

​Workshops can be designed to your specific needs & time-frames and flyers customized for your studio. 
If you feel one of these might be a fit for your space, it would be an honor to visit.
​

Namaste,
Melissa

Align & Shine: YOUR chakras study

​Align & Shine will help you identify aspects of your life that you want to change and bring to your awareness, qualities that you would like to strengthen. Through 'fast fact finding' journaling, your work will be sorted to highlight your current experience for each chakra.
This creates a guide for you to mindfully progress through your chakras, building a solid foundation so that you may ascend.

Essential for this course is your honesty, without filter, and objectivity; both will bring inspired, but realistic change into your life.
"I now have a deeper understanding of myself and know that some traits within do not benefit my well-being. Meditation at the altar with Siva helped me to feel kind toward myself and I feel inspired to begin letting go." ~ Jeanette M.

In Tantra philosophy, it is taught that if we open and unite the energy centers in the body, keeping the endocrine and digestive systems balanced, we achieve optimal health.

Yoga Philosophy & Meditation Study

The goal of this study is to offer an exploration of yoga history and philosophy that will bring knowledge and acceptance into your life, but also identify areas where conscious change can bring more meaning and simplicity into your life. ​*This is an in-depth study of the first two limbs of Classical Yoga & can be tailored into a half-day retreat or 2/3-week study*

"This workshop was a good mix of learning, journaling, personal stories, and a great open, non-judgmental atmosphere. Years ago, I would never have imagined myself sharing my personal (self-perceived) failings to someone, anyone, not even myself." ~ Annette C.

Introduction to Yin Yoga

​I like to say that Yin Yoga is about getting comfortable with the uncomfortable! Traditional Yin is done while muscles are cool and supported with props to ease your body into a passive stretch. While the tight tissues in the body are opening, students learn the energetic, physical, emotional/mental benefits of Yin Yoga.

"I loved how Melissa wove in the science and theory of Yin during the holds. It was not only interesting, but helped me stay with the pose and stay (mentally) engaged." ~ Kc R.

The Yin Within: A meditative practice

This practice takes Yin to a whole new level! Poses are purposefully paired with mudras, mantras, meditation and pranayama, so that you're experiencing a physical and emotional union, while expanding your spiritual practice.

"I felt very supported, taken care of, free to do my thing, and in the hands of a very knowledegable and capable yoga teacher." ~ Jenn P.

"As a person fighting an autoimmune disease, I love this passive, awesome practice that fits perfectly getting into my tissues and muscles, plus settles my mind." ~ Kelly C.

Kirtan & Storytelling: Myth. Mantra. Meditation

A Kirtan concert and adult story time to learn the myth behind the mantra!
 
Infused with partner pranayama and group meditation, we will hear stories about Hindu gods and sing for them. We will use kirtan as a way to deepen meditation and pranayama and you will walk away with your heart wide open.
