It was a true privilege to present my breathwork & nervous system workshop at Transcend Fest on Stratton Mountain Resort Vermont! 🌲

Core takeaways:
✨ Our wellbeing is intrinsically connected to the wellbeing of others.
🌊 By taking care of ourselves, we create ripple effects of compassion and peace.
🌍 We can change the world, one nervous system at a time.

Deeply grateful for everyone who shared space & joined the session! 🤍

Love being part of this awesome community 🫶💞

Up next on our roster is our newest teacher, Melanie!

Melanie Klinck (RYT-200)’s journey with yoga began over decade ago when she discovered yoga as a stress management technique in college. Years later, she found yoga to be of great help when recovering from a motor vehicle accident and other health issues. Over time, she discovered that yoga is also a spiritual practice that has added meaning to every aspect of her life. She was trained at Be Brave Yoga’s Inaugural Yoga Teacher Training in 2024. Melanie’s goal is to make sure every single person feels welcomed at her classes. Melanie fosters body autonomy, encouraging students to be curious and move in a way that feels safe and supportive for them. She sees the practice of yoga as both a gift to ourselves and to our community. By finding our center on the mat, we are better equipped to navigate the world with a regulated nervous system—allowing a sense of peace to ripple outward into our broader communities.

Outside of teaching yoga, Melanie is a licensed social worker and has over a decade of experience in the behavioral healthcare field. She is a firm believer in the life-changing benefits of mind-body practices and is passionate about making holistic and integrative medicine more accessible in behavioral healthcare settings. She also enjoys walking/jogging/hiking, travelling, playing frisbee, and reading a good book.

Melanie teaches All-Levels Vinyasa at Rocky Hill Park & Rec on Wednesdays. She also teaches at Yoga in Our City, Be Brave Yoga (Middletown), The Factory (Bristol), The Hive (Windsor Locks), Evolution (Newington), Fuller (Glastonbury), Hartford Public Schools and Blue Hills Rehab (Hartford).
