FAQ’s

• What Can I expect from a Hatha Yoga class?

  Melanie is a 200hr RYT Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher certified by The Yoga Therapy Institute in 2024.

  Her classes are designed to be trauma-sensitive, recognizing that trauma can often manifest physically long after an initial traumatic event. She incorporates key trauma-informed principles, such as safety, presence, and choice, into her teaching methodology.

  Melanie loves to lead foundational hatha yoga classes, So you can expect simplicity, repetition, ease of movement, and personal choice. Each class typically includes:

  • Pranayama (breathwork): Cultivating calm and creating space within the body.

  • Asana (yoga postures): Gentle, safe movement into and out of poses that build strength and flexibility.

  • Dharana/Dhyana (meditation): Practices to enhance mindfulness and inner awareness.

  Melanie's teaching style encourages introspection and body awareness, guiding students to listen to their bodies' signals and sensations, allowing yoga to rejuvenate and restore their energy.

• Who should attend?

  This event is open to anyone interested! The space will center the BIPOC guests. All levels of yoga students are welcome.

  2. Use of Yoga Mats, Pillows, Blankets, etc.

  3. Any supplies needed

• What should I bring?

  Bring your favorite yoga mat and any props you love to use! — We’ll have a few mats here, but we all may be more comfortable if each person arrives with their own yoga mat.

• What should I wear?

  Wear clothes you can move in — Think a spacious stretchy pants, sportswear, a cotton or linen jumpsuit with plenty of room, satin pants, or even a Y2K velour track suit.

• Why can't I purchase a ticket?

  ⏳Tickets sales end 24-hours prior to all events. If you aren’t able to purchase a ticket, this may be why!

  Ending ticket sales 24-hours before every event, helps us to be able to prepare for the class and any needs that our students may be arriving with.

  It also means if class needs to be canceled, you will know ahead of time, too. So hopefully, all of our time can be honored in the same way.

• How do I prepare?

  Prepare to check-in with yourself, to be seen by yourself —fully, gently, tenderly — and to practice radical softness with yourself in community that has a lot of love for you, too.

  Pro-Tip: Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Your brain and body fuel themselves on hydration and — As a team of ADHD girlies — we all know it’s harder to ground and arrive when dehydrated.
