Public Teaching Schedule

LOCATION: THE MONARCH BALLROOM • TORRANCE

- Tuesdays: 7:00PM (Gentle Yoga)

💜NEW CLASS💜 Excited to announce that Starting Tuesday February 7th - I’ll be teaching Gentle Yoga at @themonarchballroom every Tuesday at 7pm! 🙏

Take some time to slow down and show yourself some much deserved self love! Join Melissa for a relaxing hour of restorative yoga, gentle yin stretching and mindfulness practice.

Accessible for beginners- all levels welcome.

Restorative yoga will help to calm and reset your entire body and mind to prepare you for ultimate relaxation. These soothing and well-supported poses offer the opportunity to linger quietly for a few moments and savor the simple sweetness of life. It's a great compliment to a more active vinyasa flow practice, or a nice balance to your regular fitness workout.

Location: The Monarch Ballroom
1323 El Prada Ave, Torrance CA 90501

Charity Events

I was very honored to participate in YogaWorks West Hollywood' Yoga Gives to St. Jude Kids by leading a Special Healing Heart Restorative Yoga Class. It was very meaningful to be a part of this wonderful event in which YogaWorks West Hollywood (CA) partnered with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to host Yoga Gives to St. Jude Kids on Saturday, June 18, 2016. This event brought together yoga enthusiasts and St. Jude supporters for an impactful day, as we Practiced for a Purpose. 

 

Private Individual / Semi-Private Sessions

please inquire

What are the benefits of a private yoga session?

Sometimes getting started with your yoga practice can seem overwhelming. However, with a private yoga session, you will receive individualized attention and go at your own pace. This personalized and custom tailored course will be specifically curated to fit your needs and wellness goals. A private session is also very beneficial to work around injuries, and is a safe space for beginners to learn the basics, stop and ask questions, learn modifications for poses, and more! Finally, I can come to you for an in-house yoga session, and provide the yoga props (blocks, strap, bolster, blankets) and yoga mat.
