Melinda Corbett
Instructor - 200 RYT
Melinda is an experienced educator with an endless desire to learn new things. After many years teaching English and practicing yoga as a hobby, she had the opportunity to lead a yoga class for high school students starting in 2022 and fell in love with planning fun sequences. Intending to strengthen her work with teens, she finished her 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Vasa in 2025.
Originally from Seattle, Melinda settled in California for school and stayed for the beautiful weather. She's been practicing yoga for many years and is delighted to have found such a welcoming community at Vasa, where she has been practicing since 2018.
Yoga has brought her growth, resilience, and community. On the mat, she has learned to accept both limitations and challenges, and to recognize when the moment is right to pull back and when it's time to push a little harder. She's learned to find satisfaction in the process, even when growth isn't linear. Her teaching is focused on offering all her fellow yogis their own opportunities to find balance and strength, and to find joy in the process.
