            Melanie began her practice of yoga 29 years ago as a fluke when it was offered as part of her theatre training. Upon graduating from college, Melanie started working behind the desk at Yoga Works so she could practice every day. 2 years after that Maty Ezraty invited her to take the Teacher Training, which she completed with Maty and Lisa Walford several months later. She immediately began subbing at Yoga Works, and within months had her own classes on the schedule. She taught at Yoga Works until summer of 2011, a month before her first child was born. Since then Melanie has taught online classes for Yoga Works and privately in Los Angeles and San Diego, where she now lives with her husband (who she met in Teacher Training) and their 4 children. Melanie is known for her thoughtful approach to alignment and her creative language. She specializes in teaching beginners and lower intermediate students, as she relishes breaking poses down and taking time to investigate the basics in a safe though challenging way.
