Melissa Avalo

Melissa came to yoga to support her trail running in college. She fell in love with her practice and knew that there was something exciting and special about yoga from the start. She enjoys how yoga allows her to connect to her body in a deeper and multilayered way. She was inspired by her teachers to pursue her 200hr Yoga Teacher Certification. She completed her training at Laughing Lotus Yoga Center in April 2017. She's trained in Vinyasa and Restorative Yoga. Melissa’s purpose in teaching is to guide her students to experience themselves with intention and presence. Her classes are grounding, challenging, and insightful in an approachable and therapeutic way. She creates a space for students to experience themselves and their lives in a more meaningful way on and off the mat.
