Melanie Salvatore-August

Melanie Salvatore-August has recently relocated to the bay
area from New York City and Los Angeles where she taught
exclusively for the NYC and LA Yoga Works studios.  She is an
advanced certified Yoga Works Teacher as well as 500
Certified ISHTA Teacher under the mentorship of Alan Finger.  
Her teaching is a blend of the strong clear alignment of the
Yoga Works style and the Tantric flow of Alan Finger’s ISHTA
Yoga.  ISHTA is an acronym for the Integrate System of Hatha,
Tantra and Ayurveda.  Both ISHTA and Yoga Works styles
foster a transformative experience of breath and flowing
asana (vinyasa), athletic sequencing (Ashtanga) and
anatomically- based alignment (Iyengar) for a safe and
supportive exploration of breath and body.  Tantric philosophy
and Ayurvedic principles create a practice that is sensitive to
the individuals needs, encouraging each student to find their
own yoga with acceptance, curiosity and humor.
Our Teachers:
Melanie teaches a well-balanced class exploring strength building asana as well as healing opening poses to
balance “work” and “relaxation”.  Her prenatal yoga classes explore the above yoga styles as well as the Bradley
Natural Birthing Method to help prepare a mother-to-be for the most natural, healthy and ecstatic birthing
experience possible.
