When you practice with Meloni, you can expect a strong focus on pranayama, mindful movement and encouragement to incorporate the principles of yoga into your life, both on and off the mat.

Monica Lynn - Monica was first introduced to yoga in 2005. After many years of practicing and exploring different types of yoga, Monica found herself with a consistent Vinyasa practice.

Yoga has become an increasingly important part of both her physical and mental fitness regimens. In the summer, you will find her practicing on the beach and on her paddle board. She is truly grateful for the opportunity to help her students develop their practices and find their inner strength.

Jamie Abramo - Hightower - I am beyond thrilled to have embarked on this journey of becoming a yoga teacher! I have such a passion for practicing and now teaching such a wonderful and beneficial practice. Vinyasa flow yoga is what I practice and teach. I think its great for everyone because, depending on the teacher, it's always different, can be challenging if you want it to be, and you still get the benefits of peace and clarity. When teaching, I try to keep my classes upbeat and light hearted. Never too serious and I offer options for the students to take modifications for an added challenge or to pull back and stick to the basics while working on their own form. Through teaching, I look forward to sharing all of the benefits that yoga has to offer with more and more people.

Maria Eble - Maria was first introduced to yoga back when she was a full time math teacher and fell in love with the physical aspects of the practice. Years later as a full-time Mom, she rediscovered yoga and was excited to get back to a regular yoga practice. She quickly discovered not only the physical transformation that yoga allowed her, but the mental and spiritual, as well. After years of battling depression and anxiety, Maria found a sense of peace and calm she had previously thought to be unattainable. It was this mind-body and spiritual connection that made Maria, after only a little more than a year of regular practice, enter into teacher training in Spring 2015. She graduated from Dana Hot Yoga's teacher training in June 2015. The training was life-changing for Maria and excited her even more to share this wonderful practice with others. In Maria's classes, you can expect a challenging and fun Vinyasa flow, appropriate for all levels, that explores all the amazing things that yoga has to offer.

Mykola Webster, M.Ed/RYT-500 Bio. Mykola is first, a lifelong student of yoga and then a teacher. There is no life without yoga, yoga is life. Sat Nam. This is something Mykola believes wholeheartedly and strives to share with those that meet themselves on the mat while practicing with her. Mykola holds a strong belief that through the breath we can do all things and in the stillness and quiet of the breath is where self growth and exploration begin. Additionally, as a Yoga Therapist, Mykola allows the therapeutics of this healing practice to holistically connect you to your inner most self, setting the stage for deep, self introspection. Mykola’s background of extensive travel and living in Costa Rica while working at a Yoga and Wellness Retreat Center has allowed her to serve all different types of people from all over the globe. She brings this international spirit to her classes and to all who she meets. Since returning to the states Mykola lives a life of constant self study and with her little guy Blaise who is her reason and inspiration for all that she does. A class facilitated by Mykola will move the body through a vibrant and strong yet tranquil and soft asana that allows the body to give effort and then surrender to the healing effects of a well rounded yoga practice.
