As part of my healing from a traumatic birth & post-partum experience, I decided to write & record my thoughts. Below you'll find the transcript - which was where I originally wrote my experience over several weeks. You'll also find the link to the recorded version.
Yogavāhi Āyurveda & Yoga works with the belief that health is inherent. The goal is to enhance that in you.
If you want to become more effective and connected in your practice or as a teacher of the practice, please join me on this journey.
Expect to hear Yoga and Āyurveda teachings grounded in primary source material and depth.
What’s important for me is that THIS. DOES. WORK.
Gratefully,
Sera Melini

Undiluted Yoga and Āyurveda:
What Does it Mean For you?
You probably already get that most schools teach and practice a Westernized adaptation of Āyurveda and Yoga. But what you may not have realized is just how MUCH these diluted teachings are ineffective at getting results.
What I am passionate about sharing with you is this primary-sourced understanding. For me it has become the truth about how and why things work. It has made such a difference for me in getting the results I needed personally and with clients in both Yoga and Āyurveda – Online and In-Person in San Luis Obispo, CA.
Sera will change the way you perceive the world…

Taking a Yoga & Āyurveda course with Sera is transformational.
Sera is a wealth of knowledge, insight and compassion. I felt seen, nurtured and nourished. I also had a private consultation with Sera and we dove more into some of my ongoing health issues and concerns. It opened my eyes to a new way of being. Highly recommended!
A New Way to Yoga
I work to empower, expand, and inspire YOU
to go deeper, with primary source knowledge and teachings
that stand the test of time.
Other teachers tend to romanticise yoga by waxing lyrical on what the postures symbolize, but with me you will learn what they actually do in your body and mind.
While other teachers are telling you how to feel, I will teach you how to perceive what you’re feeling tangibly and make helpful, thoughtful, effective decisions necessary for growth.
When other yoga teachers tell you to “Be Present,” I teaching you how to actually do that.
While other yoga teacher trainings may teach you to memorize one thousand different postures, I teach you the shared mechanics of ALL postures.
No other person combines and teaches Yoga and Āyurveda this way!
So if you're ready to take your health, practice and teachings to the next level,
START by getting the guidebook today...
Sera Melini is masterful, skillful and informative in her curriculum and in online teachings.
She is professional and an excellent communicator who can convey the complex in a way that is accessible to understand. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for knowledge and understanding of yoga philosophy, yoga sequencing and an applicable understanding of Ayurvedic Yoga. I have dedicated my life to the path of yoga for over 12 years. Sera brought a new understanding to the practice of yoga beyond the asana in a more meaningful and purposeful in perspective.
