    ABOUT MELANIE SALVATORE-AUGUST:

    Mel meets students where they are with kindness, humor and practical wisdom. She supports them to elevate their practice on and off the mat integrating it into all areas of life: health, happiness, creativity, career and community leadership. Mel is currently on the faculty for the The Gaja Collective (formerly Chopra)  200hr Yoga TT.
