Melissa Silva
PRENATAL YOGA TEACHER
Melissa went to her first yoga class purely for the physical benefits but was surprised to realize the lessons that she learned on the mat that could be used OFF of the mat: specifically, using the breath to ease anxiety or clear the head. The realization that yoga had so much to offer solidified her decision to become a yoga teacher. Melissa’s carefully thought out cues are easy to follow and meant to make every yoga practitioner feel confident on the mat whether it is their first time or their thousandth.
Melissa is a wife and mother and enjoys exploring with her family on mini adventures, dancing and singing along to live music, laughing at a comedy show, or satisfying her sweet tooth by experimenting with new recipes.
ALISON SPATH
Alison teaches prenatal yoga (2014) and manages our yoga studio. She enjoys weaving in concepts related labor and birth physiology into her classes, along with providing opporunity to feel connection with your new baby. Alison's personal prenatal yoga practice played a very important role in her own physical, mental and emotional preparation for her VBA2C (Vaginal Birth After Two Cesareans).
