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 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.

The following artists/albums are played during yoga sessions (partial list):

Mantra Girl - Mantra Girl

The Flow of Naam - Joseph Michael Levry

Grace - Snatam Kaur

Om House - Joseph Michael Levry

About Semi-Private Instruction

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.
