Melanie Doulames

YOGA INSTRUCTOR

Melanie began her yoga journey in 1987 practicing Kripalu yoga as a way to stretch after workouts. Over the years, her practice expanded to include other forms of yoga and she discovered a profound sense of peace that followed each yoga session, sparking a deeper interest in quieting her mind. Melanie became a Certified Chopra Meditation Teacher in 2023. Her commitment to holistic well-being was further solidified when she was diagnosed with bladder cancer, prompting her to adopt an Ayurvedic lifestyle. In 2024, Melanie completed her 200-hour Yoga Works Teacher Training and a 30-hour Yin Certification Program. Although her full-time job is a Program Management Practice Excellence Director at a large technology firm, her primary focus is on helping others experience the transformative benefits of yoga and meditation, guiding them towards balance and inner peace. Melanie is passionate about aiding others in aging gracefully, embracing the philosophy of growing better, not older.
