I was unhappy with my former profession, which took a toll on my relationship, and I decided that I needed to do something to bring happiness back into my life!! It was Yoga! The ability to be able to share it with other people brings me great joy, peacefulness, and enjoyment everytime I get to teach a class. The journey that Melody led me through and taught me was absolutely Amazing and I learned so much!! I sooo appreciate her for it every day!!!!

About Melody

Melody’s vision for building an authentic, welcoming Yoga community led her to purchase Island Salt Air in 2018. She is an accredited Baptiste Power Yoga Leader, Yoga Alliance nationally certified E-RYT500, and a YAECP Continuing Education Provider. She developed and continues to lead Island Salt Air Yoga 200 hour Teacher Training, the first Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School in Galveston Texas. In her yearning to deepen her practice and knowledge of yoga, Melody studied with the Baptiste Power Yoga founder Baron Baptiste to complete Level One Certification and continues to study under Baron and his Master teachers in advanced leadership trainings. After many years of practice and study, Baptiste Power methodology became evident as her personal platform for connection. The Baptiste principles give a place where we can show up as our authentic selves. The guiding principles of Baptiste Power Yoga are truly about living the practice off of the mat. Melody’s vision is to bring this to others. Working from true authenticity the possibility of great things becomes a reality. She believes that through our physical practice of yoga the real work of yoga begins; training the mind to act with intention, compassion, and grace in all situations. She believes that what we learn on the mat transforms not only our physical bodies but allows us to gain a deeper connection to our true selves, the powerful, loving being within all of us.
