Hello!

My name is Melanie Redel.

Yoga Teacher

For over two decades, my yoga mat has been my constant companion. This journey began in 2001, as I was seeking solace from chronic asthma and a high-stress career. The intense heat of a hot yoga studio was my first sanctuary, a place where I healed my body and soothed a frayed nervous system. But after a decade or so, my path began to shift. I moved toward a more fluid, dynamic practice, and eventually, was drawn to the deeper wisdom of yoga's philosophy and emotional release.

In 2021, while living on Maui, I met a teacher who showed me that yoga is so much more than the poses. I was naturally drawn to study this ancient wisdom tradition, and left my career in cybersecurity to dedicate my life to sharing this practice. With nearly 25 years of experience, I am a certified advanced yoga teacher and registered with Yoga Alliance as RYT-500. I currently live in Central Vermont, helping others navigate their own journey and find holistic alignment on and off the mat.

Reiki Master

My introduction to Reiki in 2008 was equally transformative. This gentle energy work felt like a soul massage, enhancing my awareness of self and surroundings. Soon after, I became attuned and began volunteering Reiki at cancer centers and hospice facilities, offering comfort to patients and caregivers.
