Meet Mike Meleski (age 64) Wow! 🤩

With over 15 years of teaching experience, Mike Meleski brings depth, balance, and a grounded perspective to yoga teacher training. A certified yoga instructor, Mike teaches both power and gentle yoga, guiding students with clarity, patience, and a sense of humor that makes the practice approachable and rewarding.

Before becoming a teacher, Mike spent more than 40 years in the beverage industry, where he cultivated strong leadership and mentoring skills that now enrich his role as a teacher and trainer. His ability to connect with people from all walks of life helps trainees feel supported as they step into their own journey as yoga teachers.

Outside the studio, Mike is an avid off-road motorcycle racer and currently serves as president of the SATRA MX Club. He and his wife Peggy enjoy life in Baldwinsville with their children and granddaughters, spending time outdoors hiking, kayaking, and gardening.

Mike is passionate about sharing yoga not only as a physical practice, but as a way to build resilience, community, and joy — qualities he hopes every teacher trainee carries forward into their own teaching.

Teacher Training begins Oct. 1st

"Yoga is a martial art you do against yourself" Quote from Nicolas Gregoriades, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, to highlight how yoga, like a martial art, involves discipline and an internal struggle to overcome mental and physical limitations to achieve holistic well-being.

Highly recommended!

Including arm balances in your yoga practice strengthens your core and shoulders, improves your flexibility, mental focus, balance, and body awareness while encouraging a playfulness to your practice. In this 2-hour workshop, we will open with a warm-up vinyasa flow, spend most of our time exploring individual and sequenced arm balances, then end with a 15min cool-down. We will breakdown a wide range of arm balances: firefly, hurdler’s pose, dragonfly, 8-angle pose, and many more. This workshop will introduce tips, tricks, modifications, and intermediate versions. While designed for intermediate and advanced practitioners, this workshop is for any yogi looking to find new heights!
