"Grow Yoga’s classes in the yurt are such a magical experience! It is so peaceful at Soul Food Farm, and it is lovely to end your yoga practice by looking up at the sky! Practicing yoga at the yurt with Grow Yoga has brought such peace and calm to my life, I find it difficult to practice yoga anywhere else! I love that Grow Yoga provides a variety of classes, as I am one to pick a class based on how I feel that week. From Hatha yoga, to restorative, to a yogi favorite of Melissa’s Peak Pose class, I learn something new every class and leave the yurt feeling more at peace and centered. I also love that there are a variety of workshops and events held at the yurt that allow me to interact more with my wonderful community and help local causes. I am so blessed that yoga at the yurt has come into my life, and I would recommend that you give it a try! Be sure to check it out, as it is the most welcoming group of people I have ever come across! I’m so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and into a yurt! I look forward to meeting you at our mats and in the yurt! "

"I truly can’t say enough about Grow Yoga—it has become my therapy in the most meaningful way. I’ve been attending for a few years now at Soul Food Farm, back to when Melissa was teaching outdoors—by the stream, in the fields, and in the greenhouse depending on the weather—and I loved every single moment. Now, with the addition of the yurt on the property, classes have become year-round, which has made such a difference. It’s a peaceful, grounding space that brings an even deeper sense of connection to each class. Watching not only my own growth, but also Melissa’s dream grow, has been such a gift. Melissa offers a variety of classes and has such an intuitive way of knowing what her students need—each class feels thoughtful, intentional, and exactly right for where we are. Lilly’s class brings a different format and energy, while still offering that same grounded, positive feel, and it’s something I genuinely look forward to each week. I’m so grateful for Melissa and this community. It’s become an important part of my life in a way I didn’t expect."

"I've really enjoyed Melissa's Yoga classes. She's very sensitive to everyone's needs and encourages modifications so we can take the best care of ourselves. Melissa is super kind and generous with her spirit and that energy really comes through in her classes. Her smiling face is so great to see when we get onto our mats. "

"I love practicing yoga outdoors at the farm! I can tune into mind, body, and nature all at once. Say hello to the goats on the way to our yoga mats. Watch the clouds float by and listen to some bullfrogs while on the mat. Outdoor yoga at the farm is rejuvenating and refreshing. It's a super experience!"

"For several years Melissa has guided me in my initial exposure to Yoga, its poses and psychological aspects. In her classes, with preselected music and topics, she creates an environment which is welcoming, peaceful, and relaxing and which creates a sense of shared community. She demonstrates the poses, explains their function and intent and carefully monitors participants offering suggestions if and when needed. The topic or theme she presents in class focus on self knowledge and acceptance. This to me, is as valuable as the poses. I will continue on the path to mindfulness. Melissa is kind and gentle and knows Yoga. She is a superb Yoga teacher. "
