Yoga

A practice that meets you where you are. Yoga can build strength and mobility while also creating space to breathe, pay attention, and connect with your body. My classes are approachable and adaptable, with options that allow you to explore the practice in a way that works for you.

Sound

Settle in and experience the sound. Sound meditation offers a different way to slow down and turn your attention inward. Singing bowls, gongs, drums, chimes, and other instruments create an immersive experience that invites deep listening, rest, and connection.

Retreats

Step away from the everyday. Balanced Yoga retreats offer time to move, breathe, rest, connect, and be cared for - with yoga, sound, nourishing meals, time outdoors, meaningful activities, and plenty of room to simply be.

About Me

Hi, I’m Melissa

 

I’ve practiced yoga since 2003 and began teaching in 2020. I believe yoga should be approachable and adaptable, with room for both strength and ease and space to listen to what your body needs today.

 

Through Balanced Yoga, I offer weekly yoga classes, sound experiences, and small-group retreats in Salem, Oregon, and online.
