She reminds her students to become self-aware, mentally, physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually.

In her classes, she emphasizes correct alignment of the body in yoga postures to minimize the potential for injuries and to maximize optimal energy flow.

She inspires her students to extend the practice of yoga by encouraging them to bring the love of yoga into their everyday life.

25 January 2009 – Yoga Teacher – Melissa McDonald

The first yoga class I went to gave me immediate relief from my lower back pain and I knew without doubt I had stumbled upon a precious gift: I was committed. After ten years of practice, including participation in a two-year Iyengar teacher training program, I now teach yoga. My precise and thoughtful instruction of the yoga poses guides students into a deeper awareness of themselves enabling them to tap into yoga’s gifts of health and transformation.
