Melissa
Melissa Scagliarini has been practicing yoga for over 20 years and teaching for more than a decade. She is the founder and owner of Satya Yoga Studio. Alongside extensive experience, formal training, and an in depth understanding of human physiology, Melissa brings humor and warmth to each of the classes she teaches. She has been trained in multiple traditions by some of the leading teachers in yoga. In addition to her 500 hr YTT from the Himalayan Institute, Melissa has certifications in Pre-natal yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, and is an Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist, as well as a Certified Holistic Health Counselor. Traveling to India, the geographical heart of yoga in 2010 for her 500 hr training, was a personal and professional milestone for Melissa—a true lesson in Yoga off the mat. Melissa learned to look at herself with a bit more softness and love and was able to truly practice letting go of attachments.
Her multitude and variety of experiences have crafted Melissa into a masterful teacher who creates a caring, honest, and safe yoga environment. Classes are rooted in tradition and are designed to truly meet you and your body where you’re at. Using her deep understanding of yoga, hands-on assists, and a great selection of props, Melissa offers each participant, in every class, an opportunity to challenge and center themselves on the mat.
Melissa has offered yoga retreats around the world, including retreats in France, Costa Rica, Italy, and Northern and Southern India as well as yearly teacher training programs in New Hampshire.
