Black Hills Yoga School

About Us

The concept behind Black Hills Yoga School is to offer a comprehensive, inclusive teacher training. We believe in all styles of yoga, and aim to teach in a way that open's the student's hearts to Grace, and to how vast and wonderful yoga is.

We hope each student's Journey from student to teacher is profound and deeply foundational. Tremendous spiritual growth is both inevitable and exponential. We believe that a huge part of mentorship happens after training is over. Melody makes sure that she is available for anything each graduating group needs to support their ever expanding self.

  • Black Hills Yoga School is a school I would highly recommend to anyone interested in pursuing yoga training.  Melody combines the analytical aspects with the spiritual, and has created a very comprehensive program.

    Her knowledge of anatomy, physiology, energy work and psychology provide the perfect foundations for the class and prepare future yoga instructors on so many levels.

    She welcomes everybody and teaches us how to have grace with the situation and perspectives in which we might be teaching.  It was a lot of information in a short amount of time, but the way it was broken down, organized, and made accessible to all of us in the class made it a wonderful experience.

    I truly loved my experience and see this teacher as a mentor and leader in the Yoga community.
