OTHER SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS Melody’s loving nature shines through her ability to take care of all of her students. One of her greatest strengths is the purity of her transmission of Yoga. Her inner life is committed and deep, and she's able to help students experience that depth in their yoga practice. Melody is also a dancer who finds great joy in practicing the movement of yoga, and guiding beginning through advanced students into the stillness of meditation that follows yoga. Melody loves to convey the spiritual roots that Hatha Yoga came from. Ananda Yoga is the perfect way to express these depths by combining asana with pranayama and meditation. See her Bio and Articles
