Melanie Koenderman

Certified as a yoga instructor and CrossFit Trainer, I am a higher education professional who incorporates fitness, yoga, and meditation practices into my work and daily life. I’m on sabbatical and have time to focus on health and fitness activities.

I’ve been leading yoga classes for over fifteen years, and strength and conditioning group classes for eight years, for beginners, deconditioned athletes, and experienced regulars, from teenagers to seniors. I've led yoga and group fitness classes at universities, addiction recovery centers, retreat centers, and sport training locations in Canada, China, Thailand, and the United States. 

I also lead meditation sessions at a university counselling center, and currently at the Paradise Valley/Chopra Center for Addiction Recovery in British Columbia.
