About your teacher:

Melissa Howden (Sangita) discovered yoga in the 1980s, but it was not until 2015 that she became a yoga teacher, had a sea change, and spent the following three years living at a yoga ashram in NSW, where she became totally immersed in yoga as a lifestyle. Originally from Tasmania, she is passionate about sharing the practices of Yoga and Mindfulness as ways to enhance wellbeing and create a meaningful life.

Prior to teaching yoga Melissa worked as a music teacher in schools both in Tasmania and the UK. She now enjoys blending music – particularly singing – into some of her Yoga and Mindfulness classes. She has found that combining music with mindfulness practice quite literally helps to change the soundtrack of your life.

She is the founder of ‘Mountain Mindfulness’ which offers weekly classes and regular retreats in Mindfulness & Wellbeing. She believes mindfulness practices are the most effective and reliable antidote to the very real problems of stress, anxiety, sleep, chronic illness and the nonstop busyness that seem to be part and parcel of our lives now.
