Namaste Yoga with Dr. Melissa West

Yoga and Pilates instructor Dr. Melissa West brings her yoga lessons to the masses in her weekly health and fitness video podcast, Namaste Yoga with Dr. Melissa West.

West focuses on the Namaste style of yoga, a practice which focuses on the heart chakra and the divine spark that dwells within it. In each episode she presents a themed yoga class designed to help participants connect with their mind, body, spirit, and the world outside themselves.

While her classes can be utilized by anyone interested in yoga, West has a special interest in teaching adults. She believes her lessons can help them control their stress levels, decrease chronic pain, and improve bodily function inside and out.
