Primarily known for her gentle and restorative yoga classes, private sessions and workshops, one student said taking a class with Melanie was like coming home to cookies and milk, a place where you feel safe. Her passion for teaching is reflected with genuine empathy for individuals and respect for “the journey”. Her favorite quote is from the laughing Buddha…..who reminds us not to take anything in life too seriously. “I am excited to be teaching at Nimmo Wellness Center; it is filled with light and warmth. Please join me in this new adventure.”

About the Instructor: Melanie Kordis first became enamored with yoga while watching Richard Hittleman on television as a stay-at-home mom caring for two daughters age 1 and 3 (now age 23 and 25). She admits it was the calmest part of the day! After television teachers came videos and books and two years later a classroom in Okinawa, Japan where she met her first teacher and received her initial certification. Melanie received her second certification from the Institute of Yoga in Houston, Texas in 1996 and became registered with Yoga Alliance at the 500 hour level in 2002.
