What clients Say

“I feel incredibly blessed to have met Mel as my first yoga teacher in Cape Town 12 years ago and to have been able to enjoy her wonderful teachings ever since. She teaches yoga with great intention, knowledge and attention to alignment, thereby infusing her lessons with a deep insight into the human body and the healing power of yoga. With her calm presence, Mel knows how to create a loving and safe environment for students of all levels to deeply explore their own personal physical and energetic experience on the mat. In her unique style, she makes her classes very personal, and she beautifully links our yoga practice to our experiences in real life, its challenges and adventures, making it a deeply insightful experience that helps us to connect to ourselves and the world around us with greater awareness. In the past few years, she has demonstrated to be very skilled in online yoga teaching too, guiding a beautiful, growing community of people worldwide through their yoga practice – connecting to their experience virtually in such a way that it felt as if you were in her yoga studio. I am so grateful for your magical yoga guidance lieve Mel, may your teachings reach the souls & hearts of people far and wide. I’m excited for you to continue to share your teachings in Madeira and beyond, and am looking forward to continue my practice with you” – Lilian Plomp

Iyengar-icon
“Yoga begins with listening. When we listen, we are giving space to what is. We are allowing other people to be what they are, and we are sanctioning our own bodies and our minds to fully manifest. Yoga also begins in the present moment. Many classic texts, such as the Yoga Sutra by Patangali, start with the word ‘atha’, meaning ‘now’, which refers to this very notion. In the context of the Yoga Sutra, the use of the word ‘atha’ means that we have come to a point in our lives where we are ready to to wake up from our conditioned existence and our habitual ways of behaving, thinking, and interacting with the world. It insinuates that we are finally ready to get real and to discover the essence of all existence that lies deep down in the core of our own heart and at the center of our being.”
