Melissa Katz, E-RYT 500 is grateful for the practice of yoga and the opportunity to share it with others. She teaches a fiery vinyasa practice that helps to break down barriers and resistance in the body, mind, and heart that hinder our range of motion and may limit the ways we think and feel. As we open and strengthen the body, we have the opportunity to open and strengthen all the layers of our being and move close to who we fully are in each moment.

Melissa completed a 200-hour basic teacher training with Graham Fowler and Ursula Nix at Peachtree Yoga Center in 2007 and a 500-hour advanced teacher training with Yoganand Michael Carroll and Jim O’Leary through Jai Shanti Yoga in 2010. She completed Yoga Therapy training with Marlysa Sullivan at Decatur Yoga in 2011.

Melissa recently dipped her toes in the commercial film industry. She was hired to contort into a small box for a FedEx commercial.

She teaches yoga full-time in Atlanta, the city she loves and in which she was born and raised.
