Elemental Exploration
The Mādhava Unite elementals workshop allows the practitioner a chance to assimilate each element over the course of a week to reflect on the subtler influences. Each week distinguishes how asanas and elements correspond to specific organs, bodily systems and energy centers. The workshop is great for beginners of the yoga practice or anyone curious of elemental archetypes and their somatic influence on wellbeing.
- Week 1: Earth (rooting)
- Week 2: Water (forward bending)
- Week 3: Fire (back bending)
- Week 4: Air and Ether (inversions, uniting all as one)
Blue Prints for Intuited Discoveries
Mādhava Unite yoga classes are oriented towards the exploration of the body’s instinctual genius and how these finer imprinted distinctions can then be utilized as blue prints for intuited discoveries. If it exists out there, it must exist within. Yoga is a holistic health practice that restores vitality and encourages deep breath awareness. The practice provides an experiential approach of homeostasis as a way of life.
All levels welcome.
“The yoga classes offer a well rounded exploration into the profound benefits of the practice. For someone who doesn’t necessarily practice a lot of yoga exercises, I found them extremely beneficial for my overall health. There is something for everyone in these classes to practice and they are not to be missed!”

“Melissa is such a delight to work with and has provided me over the years with such useful information about the benefits of specific foods which have in turn reduced inflammation in my body. The different yoga positions and stretches have also made a positive difference in how I feel and move. I am truly grateful for all her knowledge and expertise.”
— Destiny Reilly
“We know that Melissa is not only well-trained and dedicated, but that she will be at the top of her field as she opens up her own practice.”

“Working with Melissa is very inspiring and pleasant. Turns out, eating beef, chicken, and eggs were harmful for my health and she not only supported me to quit, but her passion for nutrition is contagious and motivating! I highly recommend getting a chance to work with Melissa and all of the Madhava Unite offerings.”
— Shlomit Ross
“Melissa is a fantastic yoga teacher and an amazing bringer of light. Anyone who works with her is blessed.”
— Dave Ross
“I was having the worst breakouts on my skin from out of nowhere and Melissa recommended some nutrient dense foods, herbal supplements, and a liver detox that I ended up giving a shot. The liver cleanse was particularly helpful and I feel such a difference. My stomach became less bloated and I have since started taking milk thistle —which is my absolute favorite now. My skin also cleared up over time. These recommendations I plan on making more of a lifestyle. Thank you!”
— Ekatrina Ivanova
"Melissa's adjustments to poses make a world of a difference. She can eloquently speak to the philosophical aspects of yoga beyond asana athletics. I have a lot of knee and wrist issues and Melissa was able to guide me on how to practice in a safe and grounded way. It is especially important for new yogis to learn the basics of alignment and breath, so Melissa can definitely break it down for you. She introduced me to Holy Basil tea which is now my favorite! Thank you so much and until next time."
— Maria Juur
"I tried yoga a couple times in college so I am definitely at a beginner level. I loved how Melissa tailored the class for beginner and advanced levels. She talked through poses and transitions while reminding me of the breath. The class was educational and relaxing. I still have not fully recovered after receiving the covid-19 vaccines. After months of doctor appointments for brain fog, body aches, and fatigue, my doctor recommended yoga. I woke up the next day after yoga class with a clear mind and no heavy body aches for the first time in months. Yoga changed my life and I am thankful to find a natural remedy. I highly recommend for remote or in person classes. Thank you Melissa!”
— Daniela Franco
“I have been practicing yoga for 17 years and had many great teachers. It is clear Melissa has vast knowledge of both the physical aspects of yoga as well as the emotional nuances. I had a significant back injury a few years ago that unfortunately kept me off the mat. Crossing paths with Melissa has given me new inspiration to find my practice again. She has a wonderful ability to feel the practice in her body. For this reason, I believe the pacing and choice of words in the postures are genuine and safe. I am blessed to have the opportunity to continue practicing with Melissa as part of my home practice."
