Hello!

My name is Melanie Redel.

Yoga Teacher

My journey with yoga began in 2001, a pivotal moment that sparked a profound shift within me. I was initially drawn to the intensity of hot yoga, as it was healing for my chronic asthma and calming for my stressed nervous system. After a decade or so, I expanded my practice, discovering the dynamic flow of vinyasa, which resonated deeply with my mind and body.

In 2021, on Maui, a teacher ignited a new level of curiosity in my practice, weaving together philosophy, alignment, and emotional release. Driven by that inspiration, I transitioned from a long career in cyber security to explore the profound depths of yoga, dedicating myself to teaching.

Now, in Central Vermont, I share these ancient teachings guiding others towards holistic alignment. I am a Yoga Alliance RYT-500.

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.
