She has been practicing yoga consistently for three years and in February of last year, she made the decision to pursue her 200-hour yoga certification at the Isla Mujeres with Kootenay Yoga School. Her goal was, and continues to be, two-fold; to deepen her personal practice and then sharing that knowledge with others. Through Yoga practice, Melinda has learned the art of shifting focus away from overthinking and back to the body & heart...a journey she hopes to bring others on during her weekly practices in the studio.
