Melanie Law

Bio:
Melanie Law is the director of the Ridgway Yoga Shala and draws from almost 30 years of experience as a Yoga & Bhakti teacher. She fell in love with yoga in the 90s and began a lifelong path of it’s traditions. She moved to Telluride, Colorado where she eventually founded the Telluride Yoga Center twenty years ago. Melanie is certified in both Hatha Yoga through the Eldorado Mountain Ashram and Ashtanga Yoga through Richard Freeman. She studied for many years with Jivamukti Yoga in NYC where she cultivated her style of weaving asana, music, chanting, poetry and sacred texts into an artful flow. She offers Bhakti courses and retreats throughout the year, leading students through the sacred realms of the human heart and its longing to be met by the divine. Melanie has deepened her Bhakti practice with a daily sadhana and memorization of the Hanuman Chalisa, an ancient 40 verse prayer to Hanuman, the God of Devotion. She leads weekly Kirtan in Ridgway and has studied with Kirtan masters Jai Uttal and Krishna Das who have inspired and deepened her roots in the Bhakti tradition.
