Mel has been teaching yoga since 2017. 

Mel takes a hands-on approach to teaching and loves to witness the real time transformation of her students. Her training as an athlete and as an artist inform the balance of rigor and instrospection found in her teaching. Mel completed her 200hr training through Kula Yoga Project in NYC under the tutelage of Nikki Vilella, Nikki Costello, Annie Piper, Jillian Turecki and Magi Pierce.

She completed her restorative yoga training the same year under the guidance of Marlie McGovern. In 2023, she completed her 200hr Katonah Yoga Certification after extensive study with Nevine Michaan. Most recently she completed an additional 75 hour training with Nikki Vilella and Lauren Haythe through Kula Yoga Project.

Mel weaves pranayama and subtle body practices in her teaching of Vinyasa and Restorative styles of yoga asana, and is deeply informed by the work of Tom Meyers (Anatomy Trains), and the Iyengar tradition.
