I'm Mel, a yoga teacher and creative educator based in London.

I came to yoga as a child, unrolling a mat next to my mum as she followed her yoga DVDs in our living room. Since then, I’ve spent years practising, studying and applying the teachings I’ve discovered along the way.

I’m trained in traditional Haṭha Yoga within the Sri Vidya tradition, and for me, yoga extends far beyond the physical practice or what happens on the mat. It’s a way of living, a practice that continues to shape how I move through and experience the world.

My background is in education. I trained as a primary teacher, did an MA in Art, Education, Culture and Practice at UCL, and now lead a national learning programme at Crafts Council, and all of it shapes how I teach. I've always been curious about how people learn, how they make sense of their lives, and the part creativity plays in that. I'm drawn to where creativity and yoga meet: both are ways of paying closer attention. How you shape your life, how you see the world, how you think. All of it is creativity. All of it is yoga.

Since 2020 I've been leading retreats, running workshops around the UK, and teaching in studios across London. What I care about most is supporting people to actually live yoga rather than just ‘do’ it, taking these ancient, potent teachings off the mat and into real life: into work, relationships, periods of uncertainty, and those ordinary moments too.
