About Melissa
Our company hosts yoga and meditation events that gives a percentage of our profits to SKIP (Supporting Kids in Peru). Our Vinyasa classes are more athletic and strength based and alleviate the fear that we'll have you doing splits while holding a handstand. This is a yoga approach that everyone can do and still leave feeling stronger, more flexible and toned. We are certified through the Bhakti center for our 200 hour YTT. I personally have been teaching yoga to high schoolers for the past four years as a gym elective for students who are looking for an alternative to traditional gym requirements. In addition I've been working for classpass as a yoga instructor and for the Bhakti center in their all levels classes. This year we began our own company called amastefit that incorporates wellness, yoga and socializing in the name of philanthropy.
I got started by teaching privates in my building complex which have me the confidence that I needed to work with larger and more diverse groups. When I felt that my verbal cues and directions were developed I started to teach teens who needed more modeling and very thorough directions (which would not have gone over well if I didn't practice with clients prior to walking into a gym class).
I have been teaching World religions as a social science teacher for over 13 years. We cover yoga and eastern philosophies throughout our curriculum. Yoga is not just asana practice, it is a way of life and a philosophy. I've had the pleasure of teaching this philosophy to high school seniors for a long time. When I became certified it was important for me to push a yoga curriculum so that students could modify their gym schedule and choose something that they felt served them fully. I'm the evenings I work for classpass and Bhakti which is a more rigorous vinyasa flow for adults. I enjoy working with both teens and adults as each experience is unique and very rewarding.

Usually I ask for students to tell me whether or not they have an injury or something that I should know before we engage in practice. I also want to know what they are looking to focus on. Do they want hip openers, inversions something more grounding? I want students to feel comfortable enough to tell me what they would enjoy or what they would like to work on so that I can give them their desired experience
i have worked with all ages from 14 year olds to people in their late sixties. I am most comfortable with people who are open to trying yoga in which age should not deter anyone from this practice.
My advice would be to be honest about your expectations, your fears what type of yoga and to allow yourself the voice to say when something isn't working for you.
i am very fond of the event that me and my two partners out together through our company website. We had an amazing meditation with massage and yoga. It was great to see people connect with onanother afterwards as I think building community is just as important as building health.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
They should think about why they chose yoga and what they are hoping to achieve. Is it for mental health and anxiety? Is it for flexibility? Is it to lose weight and get toned? What is going on in your life that is bringing you to the mat?
