“With so many yoga teacher trainings on the market now, it is important to find one with an experienced teacher who will help you grow your own practice, and help you to become a teacher. I highly recommend Melanie’s yoga teacher training for doing just that. Melanie has dedicated her life to Ashtanga yoga and to her students, and her wealth of knowledge is unparalleled. I never wanted this training to end! I especially liked the close relationships that were formed between teacher and student, and between all the other trainees. Maintaining a practice at the studio with Melanie allowed me to grow and feel supported in my practice, and seeing the other trainees also there putting in the work inspired me to keep practicing. Being able to assist in the Mysore room during the training was also extremely beneficial, and I learned so much being able to do that. Lastly, I am grateful that this training went into the other limbs of ashtanga yoga, with a heavy focus on meditation and pranayama, and a deep exploration of the chakra system. ”

“My name is Latoya Harvey and I was afforded the opportunity to be a part of the Ashtanga Yoga Room’s Teacher Training. This was indeed a life changing experience. Within those eight months, I gained not only in-depth knowledge of the history/practice of Ashtanga yoga but, most importantly, I learned about self. It was like meeting myself for the first time. I dealt with/addressed issues that I would not have otherwise. Melanie, the staff, and the other TT’s, were amazingly supportive and extremely helpful. Taking this teaching training has definitely changed/saved my life. I’m grateful for everything and everyone I encountered.”
