Melina BIO (longer version)

For Melina, practising yoga means embarking on a colorful, multidimensional path of personal change and growth.

When Melina took up Yoga in 2015, upon the praise of a friend, she was only looking for a new form of exercise. Being a lover of movement and dance, she had been struggling with her career in tourism, which required her to work in a seated position from a desk for most of the waking hours. She soon realised that yoga was about so much more than just fitness.

Once her practice became more established in 2019, it triggered a series of drastic changes in her life, in ways she had never imagined. She grew stronger, braver and brighter, and finally felt ready to face some difficult truths.

Fascinated with the ripple effects of yoga, she yearned to go deeper. She completed her 200-hour Kanga Yoga training in 2020, and ever since, found great joy in teaching. In 2021, Melina furthered her studies by completing a 30 hour Yin Yoga training with Norman Blair, as well as a Thai Yoga Massage Certification course with Francisco Morales-Bermúdez of Synergy Yoga. She is continuously looking for opportunities to broaden her offerings and finding new ways of sharing her passion for yoga & holistic wellbeing.
