Melissa Chevalier

Instructor

Melissa began her yoga journey in 1999 at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco. Over the next decade, she immersed herself in the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition, studying and practicing with a range of authorized and certified teachers. In recent years, her approach has evolved to incorporate more holistic and embodied influences, drawing from Restorative yoga and Tantrik traditions. Teaching since 2019, Melissa considers herself a lifelong student, continually exploring both yogic and non-dual philosophies. Her teaching blends the dynamic energy of Ashtanga with the gentle awareness of a meditative mindset, creating a balanced experience of strength, flexibility, and stillness. Melissa’s classes begin with body, breath, and mind awareness, then ease into restorative and meditative movement that supports deep listening, nervous system regulation, and a return to inner stillness.
