About the Business
Melanie de Villiers - Founder - Yogaflow | LinkedIn | Welcome to Yogaflow! Bespoke private Yoga in Madeira, Portugal, designed to inspire a deep sense of inner-liberation, self-connection and longevity. I offer tailor-made Yoga classes with precise individual attention and adjustment. The focus is on flexibility, strength and physical alignment to tune into the subtle intelligence inherent in each one of us. The style I teach is Iyengar Yoga, a highly specialised scientific approach, derived from the Krishnamacharya lineage, adapted to make Yoga accessible to everyone at their exact level of expertise.
I specialise in boutique Yoga classes in an intimate atmosphere, one-on-one and small groups, to ensure a personal experience. Individual Yoga classes are adapted to suit all levels, from beginner to advanced. Group Yoga classes are labelled at a specific level to provide the best collective learning experience. I travel to you and offer private Yoga in the comfort of your home, hotel, or office anywhere in Madeira, or you can book your class at my Yoga studio in Funchal or join my group Yoga classes, or practice with me from any location in the world, online via Zoom.
My name is Melanie de Villiers. I am an internationally certified Iyengar Yoga teacher through Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute and an internationally registered Vinyasa Yoga teacher through Yoga Alliance. I recently immigrated from Cape Town, South Africa where I established Yogaflow in 2009, based on over 20 years of Yoga experience, solid anatomical knowledge, accurate body alignment skills, a background in western psychology and an intuitive inquiry into eastern philosophy.
Fully committed to authentic inner evolution, I believe in the healing power of Yoga as a strong soul medicine that can unlock our fullest life potential. | Learn more about Melanie de Villiers's work experience, education, connections & more by visiting their profile on LinkedIn

If I could give Melanie more stars I would. She brings her Heart into each class she teaches, her Openness, Love and Dedication to the practice of Yoga Radiates from her and her students are Transformed.I am extremely blessed to have Melanie as my teacher. Each class with her is a magical moment of softening and opening not only into the physical practice of yoga, but also into the Oneness between all aspects of this mysterious Being that we are. Her deep knowledge of yoga comes from years and years of self practice and study, and you Know and Feel that you are in the presence of one who embodies what she teaches. This is clearly seen in the Love all her students have for her.If you are lucky enough to come across Melanie don't hesitate to sign up for her classes, you will be giving yourself a very special gift indeed.

Melanie has taken me on a yoga journey that is teaching me how to take the practice from the sticky mat further into life. Every class is prepared and conducted with a lot of wisdom, dedication and care. Detailed explanations and instructions, attention given to each person in the class, open-heartedness make me forget I'm actually participating in an online activity.I will always be grateful to a friend of a friend who shared the link to this fabulous yoga space.

I feel incredibly blessed to have met Mel as my first yoga teacher in Cape Town 12 years ago and to have been able to enjoy her wonderful teachings ever since.She teaches yoga with great intention, knowledge and attention to alignment, thereby infusing her lessons with a deep insight into the human body and the healing power of yoga.With her calm presence, Mel knows how to create a loving and safe environment for students of all levels to deeply explore their own personal physical and energetic experience on the mat.In her unique style, she makes her classes very personal, and she beautifully links our yoga practice to our experiences in real life, its challenges and adventures, making it a deeply insightful experience that helps us to connect to ourselves and the world around us with greater awareness.In the past few years, she has demonstrated to be very skilled in online yoga teaching too, guiding a beautiful, growing community of people worldwide through their yoga practice - connecting to their experience virtually in such a way that it felt as if you were in her yoga studio.I am so grateful for your magical yoga guidance lieve Mel, may your teachings reach the souls & hearts of people far and wide.I’m excited for you to continue to share your teachings in Madeira and beyond, and am looking forward to continue my practice with you!LoveLilian

Melanie is one of the most intuitive Yoga instructors(although instructor is not how I see her she has been my partner, my confidant and soulmate on my Yoga journey).She will extend you at times and when you are in need of restorative she will sense it. Her passion for yoga is contagious. She shares her incredible knowledge freely and provides enormous insight into the impact, the benefits and the deeper soul journey that many miss. She will make you a lifelong convert with a thirst to discover more.

Melanie is a dream yoga instructor. She is focused on every person doing yoga, truly cares about what the individual needs are! I love yoga , but have a few injuries, which I shared with her. Melanie was able to modify my flow even when there was a full class! Best yoga instructor ever!!

Melanie is an inspiration! I’m fortunate enough to have 3 private classes a week with her. Her yoga knowledge, skills and intuition of what I need from my yoga has personally transformed my life! I would be lost without her.

Melanie is an incredible teacher. Her technical knowledge and spiritual strength blend to make a powerful yoga experience. Her knowledge of physical anatomy, and her ability to get to know the quirks of each of her students, means you are in good hands. Thank you Mel for your guidance!
