​Melissa Duchatschek is a native of Washington, MO and opened the original location of Present Moment Yoga in 2011.  She fell in love with the practice in 1999 while looking for something to support her mind and body after childbirth.  Quickly recognizing the amazing benefits that linking breath and movement have, she dove deeper into all aspects of the practice and became certified to teach. 

​

Melissa’s teaching style is focused on making yoga accessible to all levels, challenging her students to achieve their goals through intelligent sequencing and mindful modifications, and helping them to learn more about the practice of yoga and about themselves.

 

 

We will begin our practice by checking in with our physical body and connecting with our breath. From this space of awareness, we will begin to move through a gentle all-levels practice, during which modifications and adjustments will be offered. The practice will conclude with a few minutes of deep relaxation.

 

If booked prior to the date of the event, the private sessions will be tailored to the needs/goals/limitations of the student. If booked the day of, the session will primarily focus on connecting with the breath and gentle postures that everyone can use to alleviate neck, shoulder and back tension.

In this 30-minute session, Michelle will offer a clear and accessible introduction to the Akashic Records—an energetic field that holds the wisdom of the soul.

Michelle offers private Akashic Soulwork sessions for those seeking deeper clarity about their life path, relationships, patterns, and purpose. Through the Akashic Records, clients can explore inner wisdom from the perspective of their soul or gently release limiting beliefs that create feelings of lack, separation, or self-doubt.
