About Melissa

Yoga at Discover Yoga & PT is different because classes are kept small and individualized instruction (hands-on and personal cues) is provided by a licensed Physical Therapist and Experienced Yoga Teacher to each student whether it is in a private, semi-private, or group classes. We also have a strong sense of community and accessibility here. We believe anyone can do yoga - you do not need to be flexible, experienced or young - simply willing. Join us for a class and a cup of tea in the lounge.

I enjoy the work I do because everyday I can make a difference in my students' lives physically, mentally and emotionally. I love that I have the experience and knowledge to help ANYONE find their own way to the yoga mat whether they are an experienced yogi or limited to a wheelchair.

I also enjoy combining all my experience and skills as a physical therapist, yoga teacher, personal trainer, athletic trainer, ayurvedic consultant and more into one holistic practice.

About the lesson

I will always ask a student to check in with me on what brings them to the class. I immediately introduce new students to regulars and allow them to chat. All students also check in before the class begins. I observe all new students in the first few postures and then guide them through the class with hands-on and personalized cues. All students check out at the end of class but I also follow up with every new student privately after class to see if they have any questions / concerns.

Literally, all types from those in wheelchairs to advanced yogis - Those with injuries and without - children of as little as 5 to adults as old as 89. I have also studied a large variety of yoga disciplines and techniques because as a Yoga Therapist you need to be able to evaluate the appropriate style of yoga for the individual - not all types are for everyone.

Talk to them first - let them know your intention and listen to their response. Do they answer you directly based on what you said or change the topic to their specialty or area of passion? If you are injured, are they a medical professional or simply as yoga therapist without any formal western medical training? Then, go to class, see if what they say resonates with your intention and your body - see if you "click". Just because others like them doesn't mean they are right for you. Everyone is different and everyone comes to the mat for different reasons.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Separate yourself from your "diagnosis" by name and think about how it has changed your life and how you feel about it. Think about your physical needs but also be comfortable reflecting on your other needs and maybe even your larger intention in life - the qualities you want to live on and off the mat or the qualities that the injury is limiting in you.
