"I had the wonderful opportunity this past weekend to attend Melissa Smith's Restorative Yoga Training at YogaCollective. This is a practice that is special to me as it is what I turned to post-partum. It offered the comfort that my body needed at the time. I continue this practice and encourage EVERYONE to give your body self care and love. You deserve it! I hope to be able to better serve students when I instruct the Restorative class through this training. It is an awesome experience to be in a room with other yoga teachers. You learn so much about your own self and truly grow as a person and teacher. I am not the same person I was Friday when I left Sunday and this I am grateful for." ~ Emily

"Melissa is hugely knowledgeable and approaches the subject matter in such a way that you not only hear it and see it clearly but also helps you take that information and make it your own. So many facets of her approach to a Therapeutic Restorative Yoga practice from breath to assisting to language can translate to any style of yoga and are great tools to have for any teacher or practitioner.  It was a wonderful experience and one that I am excited to expand upon in the future." ~Jess
