I recently completed a restorative teacher training with Melissa and I must say, it was a truly enlightening experience! Melissa has such a grounded presence and an immense wealth of knowledge in the realm of restorative yoga. I wholeheartedly endorse her training program to anyone looking to deepen their practice.
The Restorative Yoga Teacher Training was absolutely brilliant! This training was worth every single penny, minute, and ounce of effort. Melissa is a top-notch instructor who pours her heart into every session. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
Melissa is a fantastic and highly talented teacher. I wholeheartedly endorse attending her classes and/or workshop sessions!
I recently had the pleasure of attending Melissa's yoga course. I was absolutely blown away by both Melissa's teaching style and the content of the course.
Melissa's effortless grace and clarity make it incredibly easy for students to grasp the material. I cannot recommend her classes and courses highly enough.
I had an absolutely splendid time at the Restorative Immersion led by Melissa! It was a delightful experience to delve deeply into this unique practice through interactive and hands-on learning. Melissa curated an environment that truly empowered me as a student to embrace new challenges and view yoga from a fresh perspective. I absolutely adored the training!
What a lovely little studio with instructors who truly pay attention to your needs. I cannot recommend it enough.
I was in need of some guidance to reach my goals, and enrolling in Melissa's Accompaniment Mentorship Program was an obvious choice. I knew she was a person of great integrity whom I completely trusted. I had explored other coaching programs that seemed to push me towards aspirations that weren't aligned with my own, and lacked understanding of the industry I work in. What I appreciate about Melissa is that she incorporates the term "accompaniment" in her program description, indicating that fundamentally she will truly listen to you and your objectives. I highly endorse her services!
I must say, the Somatic Restore teacher training at this yoga studio was absolutely stellar, and I wholeheartedly endorse it for any fellow yoga teachers out there! Throughout the course, I gained invaluable insights on how to refine my cues to guide students more effectively and cultivate a deeper interoceptive experience for them. Delving into the intricacies of the central nervous system, I discovered various strategies to assist individuals in finding greater comfort within their poses. Melissa proved to be an incredibly considerate and knowledgeable instructor, offering guidance with care and precision. Her delivery of the curriculum was not only informative but engaging, incorporating diverse formats to maintain our interest. Additionally, I found the Friday evening Yoga Nidra class to be a delightful experience. Cheers to this fantastic training program!
I am absolutely committed to yoga for life now! Melissa is a true master instructor who ensures the practice remains dynamic and well-rounded. Emphasis is placed on strength, balance, and flexibility. Absolutely love it!
I've had the pleasure of knowing and collaborating with Melissa Smith for quite a few years now on various retreats and projects. She is an absolute delight! A truly warm, kind, loving, and knowledgeable instructor. While I haven't had the chance to visit the studio in person just yet, I am hoping to do so very soon! From what I can tell, it seems absolutely divine and I have a feeling once you step inside, you won't want to leave! :)
I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa years ago when I completed my restorative yoga certification in Houston. From the moment I met her, I was truly inspired by her presence. Melissa exudes a calming energy that is simply captivating. Whenever she visits our city, I always make it a point to schedule a private class or join one of her workshops. She is truly a shining star in the world of yoga, and I highly recommend attending her classes, workshops, or retreats for personal growth and to share the experience with other yogis. Thank you, Melissa, we appreciate you!
I have participated in two rejuvenating somatic workshops with Melissa. One took place in her serene studio, while the other was conducted online. Both experiences were truly transformative. The wealth of knowledge and insights I gained not only benefit my own practice and self-care but have also enriched my interactions with my students. Melissa's unique approach, incorporating elements of nature, poetry, and a deep understanding of the body as a holistic entity, is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend engaging in a workshop or class with Melissa to anyone seeking wisdom and an awe-inspiring experience. Five stars all the way!

I crossed paths with Melissa a decade ago when I dipped my toes into the world of yoga for the first time. Since then, Melissa has been my guiding light, leading me through the vibrant tapestry of the yoga community, introducing me to the realms of acro yoga, Thai fly, restorative yoga, and meditation. Her ability to create a space of tranquility and comfort is truly remarkable; Melissa possesses a gift for listening, even amidst the silence. I find great joy and fulfillment in absorbing her teachings. If you ever find yourself with the opportunity to attend one of her classes or workshops, I wholeheartedly urge you to seize it!
Just completed Melissa's 8-week Restorative Yoga Teacher Training! The training was impeccably structured. Melissa shines a fresh light on the art of restorative yoga. Every session is packed with valuable insights and guidance! I feel truly privileged and thankful to have been a student in her class. Excited for the opportunity to continue studying under Melissa's guidance in the days ahead!
Melissa is a unique instructor at our yoga studio. She exudes a sense of comfort and safety, guiding us towards our potential without ever imposing it on us.
The focus is on our own journey, rather than meeting any external standards. Melissa cares about our progress, but not if it comes at the cost of our well-being.
Her leadership style is gentle and nurturing, treating each moment with us as a precious gift. There's no sense of competition with others or with her; rather, she encourages us to connect with our true selves in the present moment.
If we fall short, it's seen as our own experience, not a reflection of her teaching.
I had the pleasure of participating in Melissa's training at the Yoga studio. She possesses a profound knowledge of teaching and connecting with her students. Her compassionate and empathetic nature truly sets her apart. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to successfully complete the course! If you are considering attending her classes or workshops, I wholeheartedly endorse her. Thank you, Melissa, for illuminating our path. Your restorative CE training was truly exceptional!
Melissa is a highly knowledgeable instructor who truly values the input of her students in her yoga training sessions. She provides excellent feedback and even goes the extra mile by scheduling Zoom calls to discuss your progress further. I highly recommend taking part in Melissa's Somatic Restorative Yoga Teacher Training. Additionally, Melissa offers valuable external resources and examples for students to explore outside of the regular class schedule, including insightful articles.
A big thank you to Melissa for providing such a wonderful training experience!
I had the pleasure of attending Melissa's somatics and restorative yoga immersion, and it has truly been a transformative experience for both my group restorative classes and individual therapeutic sessions. Melissa is an exceptional teacher, with a deep dedication to continual learning and sharing her knowledge with others through her compassionate and nurturing spirit. This program has enhanced my understanding of the body's requirements for profound relaxation and how somatic movement practices can elevate our awareness and overall well-being. Grateful for this enriching experience!
