Melanie Dagenais<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Melanie\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

(6-week limited class)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

July 20, 27 - August 3, 10, 17, 24, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mondays, 5:30 - 6:30 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step into a practice that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself. In this class, you'll settle into gentle, passive poses held for three to five minutes, giving your body and mind the time they rarely receive in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than focusing on muscular effort, you'll nourish your body's deep connective tissues, your fascia, ligaments, and joints, helping improve mobility, increase flexibility, and support long-term joint health. As your muscles soften, your nervous system begins to settle, creating space for profound rest and restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nowhere to rush and nothing to achieve, you'll discover the power of stillness. Each pose becomes an opportunity to observe your breath, quiet the constant chatter of the mind, and cultivate a deeper awareness of what is happening within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the practice, you'll learn to find your \"edge\u201d, the place where sensation is present but never overwhelming. Instead of reacting to discomfort, you'll practice meeting it with curiosity, patience, and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you're looking to improve flexibility, reduce stress, complement a more active lifestyle, or simply enjoy a moment of peace, this class offers an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the wisdom already within you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
