I'm Melissa, I was born in Mexico and grew up with my feet in the sand, my skin always salty from the sea and my curly hair knotted. My parents are French, my mum is half Senegalese and I lived in Marseille for 6 years. I am now a Londoner although my heart belongs to Mexico and France is my second home. I started yoga 6 years ago, looking for a good stretch and a sweat. At first I was purely drawn in by the physical benefits, I loved feeling myself get stronger and more flexible with every class. Soon enough, I started to notice the effect yoga had on my mind, I felt calmer and more present every time I stepped off my mat and back into my hectic life. Experiencing how yoga and meditation have enabled me to live more fully and find joy in the simplest tasks, I felt the need to share this knowledge with others. I completed my 200 hour training at The House of Yoga with Jason Poole and Tal Zalel and I have loved seeing the benefits that this beautiful ancient practice has had on all those with whom I have had the privilege to share my love for Yoga. During my classes I endeavor to focus on self-love and acceptance while encouraging yogis to find their edge.
