Who we are. Yoga on Melrose is the heart-child of yogi
Stewart Richlin. Stewart was initiated into meditation and first
practiced yoga postures as a child. After a sedentary professional
life left him 40 lbs. overweight, and with head-ache, back-ache
and neck-ache, he resumed his yoga practice in earnest. Then
came what Stewart has called a "bliss breakthrough"
-- in that moment he realized that, thanks to Yoga, A). his body
was peaceful and healed, and 40 extra pounds were gone without
dieting and without thinking about it, B). his meditation practice
had improved and he felt good again, and C). he wanted to teach
yoga full time! Ten years later and thousands of yoga classes
later, Yogi Stewart will be honored to share the transformative
tools of yoga with you. Stewart teaches privately by appointment
as well as public drop-in classes every day.
What we do. We present instruction in the essential practices
of yoga. These include postures, exercises, breathing, visualization
and meditation. Classes are from 60-75 minutes. Our lineage of
yoga originated in India as Hatha Yoga. It was then transmitted
to China where a synthesis of Taoist and Hatha Yoga culminated
in the main outline of our set. Our program also includes elements
of Astanga Yoga, Power Yoga, and Tibetan Yogas. This totally
unique style is presented in the traditional manner in private
instruction. In public classes, expect a hard workout and lots
of music. For a brief period at the end of class, the meditation
techniques of Tibet are presented and practiced in a Non-sectarian
manner. Our practices have been evolved over thousands of years
to heal, sculpt and vitalize the body, speech, mind, heart and
soul, glands, organs, bones, muscles, connective tissue, joints,
skin, breath & spirit.
Why we do what we do. The goal of our enterprise is to
contribute to the health and well-being of our community. Thank
you for giving us the opportunity to be of service.
