Within 4 months, she experienced not only a physical transformation, but mental and spiritual healing from so many things that was weighing heavy in my heart. Her restoration was life-changing, which inspired her to become a yoga teacher. Melina received her yoga teacher certification in 2022 from Natalie Stawsky at Ashland Yoga Studio.
Through her journey of healing, Melina always knew she wanted to give back to my community in some way. She truly enjoys practicing with her fellow yogis and looks forward to meeting new faces. She is excited to share with you a life of managing stress, improving your strength, and discovering ways together in honoring our bodies.
