Build strength, improve your posture, and move with greater confidence in this 60-minute Mat Pilates class designed for beginner to intermediate students.

You’ll move through slow, controlled exercises that support healthy spinal alignment, strengthen your core, and improve your balance, coordination, and stability. With an emphasis on mindful breathing and intentional movement, you’ll develop greater awareness of your body while creating stronger support around your spine and joints.

Whether you’re building a strong foundation, returning to movement after time away, or looking to progress your Pilates practice, you can adapt each exercise to meet your individual needs and move at a pace that feels right for you.

Melanie’s yoga journey began in 1999 after a snowboarding injury led her to Ashtanga Yoga. What began as a path of physical healing became a lifelong spiritual practice. Through years of dedicated study and travel, Melanie has continued to explore the depth of yoga while staying connected to its original essence of breath, awareness, and stillness.

Melanie has also been a certified Stott Pilates instructor since 2003, bringing more than two decades of experience in mindful movement, alignment, strength, and body awareness to her teaching.

Alongside teaching yoga and Pilates, she is a macrobiotic chef and shares practices that support balance and mindful living. Melanie also guides students in exploring their voice through small instruments and harmonium classes, using sound as another pathway to presence, connection, and inner expression.
