Hi! I'm Mel

A bit about me

I’m a Montreal-based yoga teacher, educator and lifelong student of the practice and philosophy of yoga.

I’ve been practicing yoga for more than half of my life and teaching full-time since 2016. Yoga has been the greatest catalyst for change in my life—a practice that continues to invite me into deeper connection with myself, greater self-awareness and an ever-evolving understanding of who I am.

That experience is at the heart of why I teach.

My approach blends the tradition and philosophy of yoga with modern movement science to create practices that are thoughtful, intentional and deeply embodied. I believe yoga can help us become stronger and more capable in our bodies, but also more connected to ourselves. The physical practice becomes a doorway into something much bigger.

My teaching path

In 2016, after completing a degree in business management, I travelled to India to immerse myself in the study and practice of yoga. I returned home and began teaching immediately, and I haven’t stopped since.

Over the years, I’ve completed more than 1,000 hours of advanced training across yoga, mobility, anatomy and movement. I am an E-RYT 500 and Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP), and I continue to study, practice and evolve alongside the students and teachers I work with.

For six years, I owned and operated Karma Shala Yoga in Mont-Tremblant. That experience shaped so much of who I am as a teacher and gave me the opportunity to teach thousands of classes, build community and refine the way I share this practice.

Where I am today

I am currently rooted in Montreal, where I teach weekly studio classes, privates, workshops, teacher trainings and continuing education for yoga instructors.

Beyond the studio, I teach through my online yoga platform, bringing together yoga, mobility, meditation and movement practices that students can explore from anywhere.

I also lead retreats designed to take the practice beyond the everyday: creating space to move, learn, connect, explore and come home to yourself.

Whether we meet in a Montreal studio, a teacher training, online or somewhere across the world on retreat, my intention is the same:

To create experiences that invite you deeper into your body, your practice and your highest self.
