A yoga teacher and nutritionist, Melina Meza received her
Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition from Bastyr
University. While attending Bastyr, Melina discovered
the art of yoga, which brings together the mind, body, and
spirit. Yoga taught her about balance, concentration, and
relaxation, essential lessons that reside at the foundation
of her own personal practice and the classes that she teaches
to groups and individuals.
Melina has been teaching yoga full-time since 1997, when
8 Limbs Yoga Centers opened in Seattle. Her continual growth
as a teacher and practitioner has been influenced by studying
with numerous yoga instructors, including Kathleen Hunt, Gary
Kraftsow, Sarah Powers,
Tias Little,
and Jin Sung. Retreats and sabbaticals are also vital to Melina’s
personal practice and bring her deeper reflection and inspiration.
In addition to teaching private yoga sessions and group
classes, Melina is the Co-Director of the 8 Limbs Teachers’
Training Program. Throughout the year, she also leads retreats
and workshops that allow her to blend her passions of yoga
and nutrition education.
Melina’s travels abroad have given her the opportunity
to teach in other countries and to develop a deeper understanding
of the universality of yoga's transformative power. She has
personally witnessed and experienced how the practice of yoga
builds bridges that span culture, language, and religion,
as it unites people into a community inspired by the common
quest for inner peace and freedom.
The Art
of Sequencing, the first in a series of practical,
affordable, and enjoyable wellness tools, is the next phase
of Melina’s contribution to those seeking to live more
conscious, healthy lives.
