About Course Leader Melanie Davies:
Melanie has been teaching for over 10 years, although she has practiced yoga for 25, and currently teaches 7 regular classes in Surrey and Kent. These range from hatha yoga, yin yoga with yoga nidra and chair yoga classes. Melanie qualified to teach with the British Wheel of Yoga on their 500 hour diploma course as well as their Chair Yoga qualification. Melanie aims to bring a gentle, encouraging energy to her classes, suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners.
Her classes focus on exploring steadiness and ease in the basic postures, while also incorporating breathwork and meditation practices to unite body and mind. She believes Hatha Yoga offers a multitude of benefits, from improved flexibility and strength to stress reduction and increased self-awareness. Yoga isn’t just a mat based practice but can give us the tools to support our physical and emotional selves in our everyday lives.
