HELLO!
I'm Melanie
I teach yoga and meditation to busy people.
After a decade of working in a corporate career, I know first-hand the toll on physical and mental health that corporate life can take. I also know that ambitious, purpose-driven individuals want to create change in the business world from the inside out.
And you can only make change when you feel healthy, energised, fulfilled and have a calm, clear mind. This is where I come in.
I know that my job is not to make health front and centre of your day. In fact, I want it to fall into the background.
I can show you how to put in place a system to keep your body strong, mobile and adaptable, and to protect your mental health.
Your health is the foundation to the work you do, and with a stable foundation you can create transformative change in the world. I’m pulling for you.
MY TEACHING
The MMM Method is my signature teaching style, which combines the 3 pillars of movement, mind-work and – crucially – motivation to help you move past the blocks and barriers that have held you back from meeting your health and fitness goals in the past.
The yoga that I teach is rooted in functional movement to retrain your body and hardwire your brain for better movement.
There is a why behind everything that I teach – every. single. thing. From the curated warm-up through to your relaxation, every posture is building toward more balance in the body. You can expect to finish my classes feeling energised and – with practice – to see freedom from aches and pains.
And I don’t limit my work to the yoga mat – I help clients change their habits off the yoga mat too. You can expect me to encourage you to review how you are spending the other 23 hours of your day!

Get to know me (& ZIGGY!)
I live in Kingston in the UK with my partner Dan and, if you follow me on Instagram, you will have been introduced to my pup Ziggy – or Mr Ziggles, Pupple, Cuddle monster… he goes by many names!
His antics never fail to entertain me and he keeps me on my toes! Plus, he gets me outside in the fresh air multiple times per day, for which I’m grateful!
I love to get out in nature on hikes, and I encourage my clients to incorporate more walking into their daily lives too.
When I’m not hiking, you can usually find me curled up with a cup of tea and book, or plotting my next international trip!
Training & Experience
I am an avid learner and constantly developing & building on my knowledge. I regularly take CPD trainings in specific topics to support my clients and stay ahead of the latest research, but listing out every detail would make for a very long page that I doubt anyone will read! So you can find listed below the key trainings I have completed that are 100+ hours…
200 Hour YTT - Yoga West London
Yoga-Alliance Certified Training in Vinyasa and Ashtanga Yoga, led by Jeff Phenix, Zeena Kalisperides and Christian Coelho
200 Hour YTT - LYT Method Yoga
LYT Method Yoga is a functional movement practice created by physical therapist (or physiotherapist as we call it in the UK), Lara Heimann. This training transformed my life, my practice and my teaching. It gave me the comprehensive anatomical foundation that underpins the work I have done since, and trained me in how to help diverse audiences.
100 Hour Specialty training - LYT Method Yoga
This continued on from the 200 hour training and focused on how adapt my teaching to specific populations, including beginners, corporate clients, athletes and seniors.
100 Hour Extremities training - LYT Method Yoga
This training is an anatomical deep dive focusing on the extremities of the body – specifically the hips/knees/ ankles & shoulders/elbows/wrists. This training has enabled me to work with clients with a wide variety of injuries and appropriately adapt the movements to their specific needs, whilst continuing to make improvements in their strength and mobility. Invaluable.
