"Healthy, strong, and vibrant, for every day living."
ABOUT ME
Melanie Batycky began teaching yoga and fitness in 2011 following a 17-year career as a professional dancer with the San Francisco Ballet, Alonzo King LINES Ballet, and as a Principal dancer with the Alberta Ballet. A Certified Level 1 Iyengar Yoga instructor and AFLCA Mind-Body Specialist, Melanie’s teaching spans the full spectrum of movement—from dynamic strength and core stability to gentle, restorative practices that support deep recovery and longevity.
Grounded in anatomical precision and alignment, her approach is designed to help students feel strong, healthy, and inspired both on and off the mat.
"The physical practice is really only part of truly knowing yoga. The philosophy can be woven into our daily lives and truly lived. When we align with kindness, authenticity, and the deeper wisdom within ourselves, that is when real transformation happens."
In addition to her yoga and movement instruction, Melanie is an active contemporary ballet choreographer and holds specialization credentials in Older Adult Fitness.

"Melanie is such a kind and conscientious teacher. She modifies the practice to your ability and uses her extensive training to provide advice and adjustments that are safe and considerate. She teaches with joy and laughter and so her classes are also fun!"
-Kate Schutz, YOGA PRACTITIONER
"I have been doing yoga with Melanie for several years now and love her energy and passion for teaching. I suffer from low back pain on occasion and Melanie will provide modifications where necessary."
-Dawneen Cultrera, YOGA PRACTITIONER
"Melanie is the most wonderful yoga instructor with her gentle and calming demeanor and her amazing knowledge. She always seems to know exactly what I need to work on and I always end the class feeling better than when I started. I would HIGHLY recommend Inner Bliss Yoga if you are considering a new studio or even just beginning."
-Dana P., YOGA PRACTITIONER
