Melanie Norton

Instructor

When I first stepped onto my mat in 2009 I was imbalanced physically and mentally, holding trauma in my body and unable to still my mind. While my first class was overwhelming and I felt confused more than anything, I held a deep knowing that transformation was waiting for me in this practice.

The state of our nervous system represents the state of our mind, and I find coming back to my mat - and back to my breath - releases energy blockages and encourages presence and mindfulness. When we are embodied in the present moment, we have the capacity to connect with ourselves in alignment with the magic of the universe. I am honored to offer a practice that encourages exploration of intuition and self expression through the teachings of Yoga on and off the mat.

I completed my 200hr YTT at Kripalu and am a certified Reiki practitioner. I pair rhythmic music with inspiring sequences and dynamic cues intended to help individuals drop deeper into their body and free their mind - leaving class feeling awake to the divine being within them.
