Hi I'm Melanie Commons and the owner and principle teacher at Golden Yoga. Yoga is my passion and I have been blessed to have experienced Yoga all around the world through various training, retreats and workshops and to have been taught by many amazing teachers. I am a writer, a yogini, an avid reader, Oneness trainer, Reiki Healer and I have a beautiful cat named Bubbles.

I am a Bhakti (devotional) yogini and I have spent time at the ashram- Oneness University (Chennai, India) with the Avatar's, Sri Amma Bhagavan, who are my Guru's. I was introduced to Transcendental Meditation when I was 20 which then drew me towards Sivananda Yoga Training in Sydney. Vinyasa Flow and Yin yoga training in Queensland saw me qualified as a level 2 teacher.

I fell in love with both meditation and asana practise and I've also been strongly influenced by yoga therapy, Zen teachings and metaphysics. I love working with people and introducing them to the 'yogic' way of life and it's transformational, grounding aspects. I am a strong believer that we are all here as human beings to 'take a stand' for what we feel truly passionate about. Practising & teaching yoga brings me the most joy in life and I feel so grateful to live and work within such a beautiful, connected conscious community on the Gold Coast.

I believe if we all work on ourselves and look at how we think, what we say and how we act and respond then we will move towards a more peaceful existence.
