Sat Nam.

I offer a practical, come-as-you-are approach to the art, science, and technology of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Kundalini Yoga offers asanas (postures), pranayama (breathwork), mantra (chanting prayer), meditation, and Savasana (deep relaxation).

While a solitary practice is essential to personal and spiritual development, I only offer private group sessions because I believe in the power of cultivating group consciousness to transform and heal.

No prior experience with yoga is necessary. Sessions are tailored to the practitioners' needs/goals.

All levels of experience and all body types welcome.

Sessions run approximately 2 hours long and can be held in your home or at Embora Wellness & Movement Studio, located in Clinton Hill.

I recommend using a cotton yoga mat or a sheepskin rug during one's practice and The Kundalini Yoga Experience for further reading and understanding of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan.

If you're not sure what to look for in a yoga class or instructor, I recommend reading How to Choose a Yoga Teacher (pdf) and How to Choose a Studio (pdf).

Fundraising
I am available to help your organization raise money through community yoga classes, yoga socials/cocktail parties, and silent auction donations. Please inquire.

Note: Please consult with your primary care practitioner before beginning any physical activity program. It is important that you are aware of any health concerns that may interfere with your participation in a yoga session. Please be honest and open with me regarding illness, pregnancy, back and joint pain, depression, or any other issues that may prevent you from fully engaging in your session so that I may offer guidance and adjustments.

I received my yoga training at Universal Force Healing Center and studied under Joseph Michael Levry (Gurunam) Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, Guru Dharam Singh Khalsa, and Dr. Mahan Rishi Singh Khalsa & Nirbha Kaur Khalsa. I am also a graduate of the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and offer guidance in whole foods nutrition and community wellness.

I have led public classes and workshops at ACORN HS for Social Justice, Hibiscus Day Spa, The Brooklyn Public Health Office, Embora Wellness & Movement Studio, Universal Force Healing Center, Shambhala Yoga & Dance, SweetHome Yoga, and Lucille Roberts.
 

Testimonials:

Melissa introduced me to Kundalini Yoga practice on a library floor in a Brooklyn high school. I was at first skeptical about the practice since it involved much more meditation and chanting than I had previously experienced.

However, Kundalini with Melissa soon became a must have ritual for me. Melissa's calming spirit helped me grow in my yogic practice and Kundalini let my body, mind and soul become centered. Kundalini with Melissa is not just a yoga class-it is an opportunity to increase your awareness of who you are in mind, body and spirit.
