Melanie Fawer is the owner and director of The Yoga Room. She

is certified by Sri K. This is a rare honor that it is only held by 18 teachers in the U.S. which makes her an asset to the local New Orleans yoga community. At The Ashtanga Yoga Room classes are offered in the traditional Mysore Style and Led classes. Mysore originates from the location in which Pattabhi Jois lived and taught yoga for over 70 years. In Mysore Style students practice at their own pace while the teacher gives physical adjustments and verbal cues. This allows students to cultivate a moving meditation and to experience the sensations of the body while in postures. If you are new to Ashtanga Mysore style is perfect for you (we offer Intro to Ashtanga Mondays 6:15pm). The teacher will work with you individually to help you learn the primary series postures. With regular attendance you will have your own practice that you can utilize at any time. The Led class is meant as a compliment to your Mysore practice. In the Led class students move in unison at a rhythmic pace. Every breath and movement is coordinated by the instructor. This creates a group energy that shows you different aspects of the practice. The Ashtanga Yoga method incorporates Ujjayi (a pranayamic breathing technique), Dristi (focusing the gaze on specific points), and Bandha (internal energetic a muscular contractions that harness stability in the body and mind). These tools are known as the Tristana method. This method tethers the mind to the different focal points so that your practice will ultimately lead you inward. Melanie is focused on leading her students into the life changing results of this powerful practice. Read some interviews with Melanie here:
