My name is Melanie de Villiers. I am an internationally certified Iyengar Yoga teacher through Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute, a RYT 500 Vinyasa Yoga teacher through Yoga Alliance, and a Yin Yoga teacher in the Paul Grilley style through Bernie Clark at YinYoga.com.

In 2022 I immigrated to Madeira, Portugal from Cape Town, South Africa. I established Yogaflow in 2009, based on my Yoga practice experience and study since 1995.

ALIGN AND FLOW YOGA
Align and Flow Yoga is an eclectic blend of Iyengar, Ashtanga and Yin Yoga, a fusion of static alignment and dynamic vinyasa, with a meditative, interoceptive flavour. It is a somatically oriented, anatomical approach to Yoga, based on principles from the Krishnamacharya lineage and Daoist concepts.
YOGA TEACHER
