Melyssa Cramer

Mel began practicing yoga as a means to help address anxiety and mental health issues. After practicing for only a few months, she was hooked! She quickly signed up for her first teacher training program with Yoga Nest out of Venice, CA a few months later. This divine practice of yoga has helped Mel heal many wounds: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. 

Mel brings an uplifting spirit to her teaching, with upbeat music to match the vibe of her power vinyasa flows. She enjoys challenging students physically, but also encourages and nurtures the need for students to listen to their bodies, and make the practice their own. 

Along with yoga, Mel is also a level 3T Reiki Master, where she offers energy cleansing & healing to others. Her in-depth knowledge of the chakra system (our internal energy centers) and our energetic bodies, aids her even more deeply in her practice and teaching of yoga asana. 

Mel resides in Lakeway with her husband and two pups, Daisy & Disco. She enjoys live music, dancing, cooking, and the simple pleasures of life: like sitting in the back yard, and watching the Texas sunset with a glass of kombucha.
