Melanie


I am Melanie Gerber Minder – a wife, mother, yogini, health advisor, and a woman dedicated to a conscious, connected, and joyful lifestyle in our modern world.

My journey with yoga began in childhood, and since then, I have discovered the limitless power of this practice to make everyday life easier, more fulfilling, and happier—day by day.

Through life's daily challenges and the teachings of many wonderful mentors, I have learned the immense value of a regular yoga practice combined with healthy nutrition and a balanced lifestyle. This combination creates a unique kind of magic.

I am constantly learning from life, but my vision remains clear: to create sacred spaces where modern people can find peace, reconnect with themselves, discover community, and embark on a journey of healing and growth.

My approach is open, non-dogmatic, and full of passion. My teaching style is creative, powerful, and infused with humor. Everyone is welcome and appreciated—because it’s all about taking the next step on your own journey.

 

Ania


I’m Ania Zielinska—a passionate advocate for healthy living, transformative coach, and passionate traveler.

 

As a Yoga instructor with advanced training in Hatha Yoga and specializations in Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga (YTT 500hr), I bring a creative and holistic approach to every class. My journey has taken me through several years in India, where I immersed myself in Vipassana, Ashtanga, and Iyengar Yoga.

In my practice, I blend ancient Asanas (yoga poses) with Pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation. My classes are powerful and physically challenging, yet deeply rooted in spiritual growth. They are crafted to strengthen and relax your body, bring peace and calm to your mind, and create a sense of harmony and well-being for your soul.

My mission is to help people lead meaningful lives through healthy, conscious living. With a Master’s degree in Psychology, I am also a Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, and Access Bars Practitioner. I love combining all of these tools to positively impact the lives of others.
