The Life of Wellness Institute is an organization dedicated to Yoga, meditation, and holistic health through the traditions of Viniyoga, Ayurveda, current science, neuroscience, and embracing the Eight Limbs of Yoga.
Our goal is to help you embody life with the peace of mind and confidence to share this gift with your students. We provide a safe, supportive, and caring community with unwavering compassion, and a place where people experience sustainable transformation, resolve and support their suffering, and learn how to help others do the same thing with confidence.
We are genuinely humbled by the number of students who have reported that their life has changed due to studying with us! Where you choose to take your Yoga Teacher Training is one of the most important decisions you will make for your future with Yoga. We thank you for considering us.

"One of the best things I have ever invested in!! I have wanted to take YTT for almost 10 years and I am so glad I waited until I found the right teacher, the right course, and the right people to learn with. This is one of those universe moments where I wouldn't wish it any other way or sooner, because I believe this is exactly where I am supposed to be.
I would recommend this course to EVERYONE!! even if they don't want to teach yoga, or know anything about yoga. The knowledge and support you will gain from Mel will change your life!!
I am filled with more confidence and my flame has been reignited! I believe I can change my life, my career, and help support others in their own healing."

"I would recommend this training to others with confidence! In fact, I have people already reaching out to me for information because of how highly I have spoken about this experience.
This training was detailed, trauma informed, and person centered. It also taught skills that have led me to feel confident in my abilities to be a teacher in the world. I appreciated this training because Melanie really takes the time to understand her students needs, including their personal and professional goals. Melanie holds space for her students, and encourages them to find answers within themselves- knowing they have always been there . Her warm energy, and non judgmental approach allows others to feel safe to share their needs.
This care benefited me because it gave me the tools to care for myself, which in turn helps me care for others. I feel ready to teach yoga, and provide a safe environment for all."
Begin embracing embodied living, with a solid foundation of the Eight Limbs of Yoga, and learn to share this gift with others.
At the heart of everything we do at the Life of Wellness Institute is a diverse and welcoming community of humans who have been touched by the experience of being human, which is the guiding light and fuel behind our work and our vision.
We believe everybody deserves access to the tools and capacity to compassionately embrace our true selves with embodied wisdom as we navigate life’s experiences and challenges.
We sincerely believe that Vinyoga can help!
Viniyoga is an ancient Sanskrit term that means appropriate application and implies differentiation and adaptation. Its teaching emphasizes a comprehensive and authentic transmission of yoga designed for everyone’s unique body and mind. It is a therapeutic approach to yoga that adapts the various means and methods of practice to each individual’s unique condition, needs, and interests – giving each practitioner the tools to individualize and actualize the process of self-discovery and personal transformation.
