Melanie Penn

Melanie has a bachelor’s degree in linguistics as is enamored with words and connotations and communication. She has been teaching improvisational theater since 2011 and loves witnessing students gain confidence, connect with each other, cultivate friendships, and build community. 

Melanie trained for her 200-hour YTT in 2018 at Urban Breath and has led classes in hatha, vinyasa, and yin yoga. 

Her favorite thing about yoga is its continual invitation to inquiry into physical sensation and spacial awareness. She has always been inspired by yoga’s philosophy of non-judgment and celebration of the moment, and tries to map that celebration onto life’s more absurd experiences and circumstances.
