Autumn  has been teaching in the NJ & NYC metro area for over 9 years and is elated to be returning to Villa Sumaya for another retreat! She loves guiding yogis through an explorative yoga practice, allowing healing and space for students to grow and learn more about themselves along their personal journey. Through the Chakras especially, she encourages her students to dive deeper into no only their physical practice but also mentally through spiritual practices and teachings. In her yoga classes you’ll move through a well rounded amalgamation of exercise and yoga poses geared to invigorate the body, nourish the mind, and awaken the spirit!

Melissa  was always interested in the arts and earned my BFA in Sculpture from Montclair State University, where she was first introduced to yoga and energy work. What began as a personal practice to manage anxiety quickly grew into a life-changing path. She’s been practicing yoga since 2010 and working with energy healing modalities like Reiki and Healing Touch since 2011. After living and teaching yoga in both Puerto Rico and Florida, Melissa felt called to start leading yoga retreats. Melissa believes in ethical travel and love combining my passion for yoga with a deep respect for diverse cultures through intentional connections and community building!
