Melissa began her study of yoga in 1993. Since that time she has practiced several alignment based styles before training in the vinyasa flow tradition.

Melissa’s teaching style is fluid and creative. She blends vigorous flow, high-energy music, and thoughtful assists, with a reverence for classical teachings and attention to alignment. She emphasizes breath, mindfulness, and sheer delight in the experience of movement. Her classes are often begun and concluded in silence to encourage reflection and meditation.

In addition to her work as a yoga instructor, Melissa is a part-time faculty member at the George Washington University, where she teaches wellness and nutrition courses for undergraduate students. She lives in Dupont Circle with her husband and fellow yogi, Mark, their dog, and two cats. To learn more, visit www.melissavanorman.com
