I'll be honest with you. I  wasn't always about a healthy lifestyle.

I am that annoying friend who used to take pills from strangers at 4.30 am and now swears on the life-changing powers of yoga. My life in Barcelona was work hard, play hard, and I won't deny that I had the best time! Until everything collapsed with the pandemic, which was my unlikely gateway to yoga.

Melissa Mayr–Yoga Teacher in Ibiza

I moved to Ibiza during the pandemic. Like most island visitors, I experienced Ibiza as a party island, populated by credit card-hippies and Tuluminaties. A year after falling into all typical spiritual traps a la crystal healing and overpriced tantra workshops, I travelled to an Ashram in India to do a yoga teacher training that changed my perceptions of life—no alcohol, drugs, coffee, sugar and distractions. 

I stick to teaching based on the principles of Hatha yoga. If you decide to practice or work with me, you do not only get 100% me, but you get my dedication and commitment to your well-being. My teaching style mirrors my personality—direct, distinct and empathetic. I'm not your guru, life coach or therapist—just an ambitious yoga teacher sharing what's worked for me.

Flexibility isn't my greatest strength; honest connection is.

“When I say I coach you in yoga, it's more than a service—it's a commitment. Your health, well-being, and schedule matter to me. I want to do for you what yoga did for me.”
