This was my first experience of a Yoga retreat day and I wish I had done it sooner! I was a little apprehensive but can honestly say I felt comfortable and relaxed. The Yoga was fantastic, I learnt a lot about myself on this journey. Mel is engaging and very enlightening, she explains everything from start to finish, the lunch was delicious, the cacao ceremony with Indigo was perfect, we all sat in our heart space and it felt very special. I really let go and just being in the company of other beautiful women was an honour, the way it just flowed had so much meaning and powerful intention.

I have been attending Yoga classes with Mel for 6 years, and have loved every single one of them, Mel reads ability so well and is accommodating to all. Everybody in class is a yoga body and all welcomed with LOVE. Mel is full of love and compassion and understanding, she is kind and loves to laugh. A sense of well being is guaranteed from each class, as well as comfort and being in a safe place which is exactly what Mel has created in her Yoga studio.

I have attended various yoga classes over the years, but none quite like this. It's not just yoga, it's deeper, very special, its hard to explain unless you have been... It's like therapy for the body , soul & nervous system. Mel is an amazing teacher, I have progressed more than ever imagined with her encouragement and enthusiasm. She is a wonderful person and i'm so proud to say now my friend. I am forever grateful for having been introduced to this magnificent goddess!

The Yoga Swan is such a special place, it’s a safe space to process whatever needs releasing, it’s a place to rise, grow and flourish. It’s a place to support and be supported by the wisdom and strength of everyone who attends. Mel attracts the most special people who practice yoga for a variety of reasons , no 2 classes are the same and yet you always get what your body and soul needs. It’s not just a yoga class, it’s meditation, breath work, sound bowls, laughter, tears, healing, magic, and so much more. I have so much love and gratitude for Mel and the Yoga Swan.

I began my yoga journey with Mel around 10 years ago and haven’t looked back since. From the very beginning, she brought a sense of calm, warmth, spirituality, and fun to every session, creating a practice that’s both nurturing and effective. Mel is a truly generous and genuine soul, deeply valued by me and so many others.
No matter your level or experience, you’ll find her classes both inspiring and rewarding.

Every class I have attended has been filled such positive energy, Mel adapts her sessions accordingly to every individuals' needs and I have had personal experience of this when i was suffering with back issues. Mel's studio is extremely inviting, and transports you into a zone of relaxation, Mel is simply the best yoga teacher around!

Mel is truly an amazing Yoga teacher, not just that she is a beautiful soul, so dedicated, so loving and she brings so much to everyone. I can't wait to become part of everything she offers - she is the most wonderful, beautiful lady :)

The best yoga teacher I’ve ever trained with. She is more than an instructor, she helps open space for people physically and mentally. A real healer and special person. Would highly recommend anyone to train with Mel. She was has been extremely valuable working with our athletes at UKA to maintain flexibility and mobility for performance and has passed on lots of information to our instructing team. Thank you so much Mel.

So hard to put into words what a special day it was. From the beautiful setting to the studio crammed with the most interesting objects and books, to the delicious home cooked lunch, Mel is a fantastic yoga instructor and as beautiful as she is inside, as out. I came away at the end of the day feeling that my soul had been well and truly nourished.

If you're looking for a soul enriching yoga experience then you are here. Mel is the most genuine, compassionate and fun-loving Yogi, her eyes twinkle with love and kindness, her studio is a safe haven in which to practice and sit in your own thoughts and silence. It's an absolute pleasure to be in her class and share space, calm the mind and have a good dose of laughter.

Excellent Yoga Studio and Mel is brilliant. Can not recommend her enough. She will cater for your exact needs with Yoga and what you want to achieve as I was new to Yoga and have been having the sessions for over 2 years now. Very relaxin studio so perfect to get away from work or everyday life when you can.

I feel incredibly blessed to have found Mel and her classes. She radiates positivity and joy and has had such an incredibly powerful impact on my physical health, mental health and life in general. One of the greatest people you will have the good fortune to meet. Namaste.

From the very first class with Mel, I felt her magic. Her teaching is more than yoga — it’s grounding, healing, and truly transformational. Her words stay with you, both on and off the mat. Mel’s classes are crafted with deep care, blending strength, stillness, and sound in a way that feels like a journey. My whole family treasures her practice, and every friend we’ve brought — especially in hard times — has left feeling lighter and more aligned. Mel creates space for real connection and healing. She’s pure gold — there’s no one like her.

Mel, your sessions are very special. You create a powerful frequency of peace in your shala. From the very beginning I can feel energy fizzing and flowing throughout my body. It's such a wonderful experience to practice your Asana flow in that state, because it feels like the body opens fully to its own energy throughout the practice. And always followed by such a healing savasana! You are a special yoga teacher. Thank you for sharing your loving energy.
