About Unplug Academy
Unplug Academy is the home of Unplug Yoga Teacher Training and Digital Wellness Group Coaching. Our mission is to help enhance your relationship with yourself, screens, and community. We believe in the power of yoga to transform individuals and communities, and we strive to provide the highest quality education and resources to you.
What is Unplug Yoga?
Many of us are constantly digitally connected. We live in a culture that puts more value on being “Always On” and less value on slowing down, presence, and resting. Unplug Academy is here to change that. Unplug Yoga pulls from different lineages and yogic sciences in combination with living a lifestyle that recognizes the Digital Age we live in. We ask people to look within their own inner wisdom, or inner technology, for the answers instead of trusting Google to find everything they need. We are not asking people to get rid of their phones and move to a secluded place in the woods. Rather, we are helping people learn techniques to live in harmony with their True Nature AND integrity with their outer screens.
In Unplug Yoga, a practitioner is using tools to help them Unplug from the fast-paced, stress driven world we live in, and plug into a sense of peace, calmness, and clarity. We do this by combining a variety of different teachings from yogic traditions. These include:
Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Mantra and Sound (Naad Yoga), and practices from Ayurveda (The sister science of Yoga).

Testimonials
Marina S., Yoga Student
Melissa brings a gentle yet firm, kind yet grounded presence to her teachings. She is skilled, yes, but more importantly embodies and emanates the kind of centeredness, or "union," that's at the heart of yoga practice. I highly recommend her classes to anyone seeking a skilled, kind teacher who inspires with her graceful presence.
Kori B, Yoga and Sound Workshop
Melissa and Michaels workshops are a visceral experience of harmony, vibration and connection. The flow between the two of them musically and linguistically nourishes the flourishing of open minded curiosity, allowing one to explore all the wonders of sound and yoga free of inhibition. Their presence was personal and powerful. I found myself feeling at ease, as my knowledge deepened. The knowledge and experience gained has been integral piece of my spiritual journey."
Gabriela V., Yoga Retreat
"I have never been to a yoga retreat before and was a little nervous but by the end of the 2nd day I had 12 new friends and was so relax and calm. I learned how to mediate, new yoga poses, had homemade tea and cacao (both delicious), wonderful food for lunch. We did breath work, chanting and dancing! I am ready for my next retreat."
