Melanie Batycky began teaching yoga and fitness classes in 2011 after dancing professionally with The San Francisco Ballet, Lines Ballet of San Francisco, and The Alberta Ballet.   She currently holds her Level 1 Iyengar yoga certification.  It is the depth of yoga that keeps her constantly searching and learning.  She is truly grateful to have found yoga and loves sharing what she has learned, and continues to learn with her students.  "The physical practice is really only part of truly knowing yoga.  The philosophy of yoga can be practiced in each interaction in our lives, and actually lived.  When we see ourselves and others as kind, loving, honest, authentic, and constantly turn our lives over to the higher power that is within each of us, that is when our lives change."

She is also a contemporary ballet choreographer, AFLCA certified instructor, specializing in older adult fitness and choreography.
