Melissa Magañas

Melissa welcomes you to a practice where presence matters more than performance. In her slow-flow classes, students of all levels move with intention and breath, cultivating awareness, care, and ease. 

Her path to teaching began with a personal healing journey and grew into a desire to share the gift of yoga with others. With years of experience as a massage therapist, she brings a deep understanding of anatomy and body mechanics to every class, guiding students safely while encouraging connection and self-discovery. 

Through movement and breathwork, she creates space to tune into your body, honor your experience, and find calm that extends beyond the mat.

Outside of yoga, Melissa enjoys traveling with her husband, spending time with friends and family, biking, paddleboarding, and tackling 1,000-piece puzzles.
