Melie’s yoga practice began with her transatlantic move from Paris to New York in 2008. She quickly discovered how much of a lifeline yoga in all its forms was. From her late teens to her twenties, through pregnancy and parenthood, her commitment and deep love for the work kept growing and inevitably a need to share her passion with others led her to embark on the yoga teaching track. She’s been teaching full-time since 2017. Her classes are carefully sequenced with particular attention to alignment. She aims to offer her students room to be playful, expand their awareness, and explore their own yogic path through breath and movement. Melie completed her 200- and 300-hour YTT under the skillful guidance of lead teacher Patrick Franco at the Hudson Yoga Project. She earned her 85hr Prenatal Yoga certification from the Prenatal Yoga Center in NYC. She is currently under mentorship at the Iyengar Institute of New York and is going up for assessment in the Fall of 2026. She lives with her husband and three daughters in Jersey City, NJ.
