Melissa Bateman has been loving yoga for over 20 years and elevated her practice by apprenticing with Abby to complete a 300+ hour teacher training certification. Practicing while raising a family and working in corporate America showed her the gifts of a steady and consistent yoga practice: sense of calm and being centered, clarity of thought and purpose, release of extraneous noise, strong and supple physical form. Eager to introduce others to these gifts and time to dedicate to the more spiritual elements of yoga led her to Abby and other fellow students at Hamptons Yoga Healing Arts. She plans to deepen her studies India.
