Melanie McDaniel; Yoga Teacher and Owner of "OM" Time Yoga Studio Dunsborough, West Australia; completed her Yoga Teacher Training in Goa, India at Himalaya Yoga Valley in 2011. After 27 years of practicing Yoga, this brought an adult-lifelong dream, to fruition. Previous years of working and training in the Fitness Industry since the age of 17, has given Mel a deep foundation of knowledge in physiology and anatomy, a real compliment to teaching Yoga. This along with enduring 3 whiplashes and a skiing injury in her mid 20’s which required knee surgery and a shoulder impingement and spondylitis in her spine in later years all broadened her awareness to another level of self-discovery and to being able to help all of those that come to her Yoga classes. Being diagnosed with PND 18 years ago after her second child was born and suffering ongoing bouts of depression over the years, has also helped Mel understand and empathize with others and see and feel firsthand how Yoga has a direct correlation to self-healing and returning to wholeness. Mel has the greatest appreciation for Teaching Yoga and practicing Yoga knowing that it brings us from “just surviving life, to thriving in life”.
Her ongoing thirst for Spirituality since the age of 19 and staying in Ashrams from the age of 26, has led her to a thorough understanding of Yoga philosophy, pranayama, meditation, chanting, chakras and kriyas. Melanie brings all of this and more, to her students in each class, through her love of yoga. She believes that we all need Yoga in our lives; not just for flexibility and all the health benefits that it brings to us, but also to keep us accountable to be the best human beings that we can be; to use Yoga on and off the mat as a tool for self-enquiry in all that we do!
Although trained in Traditional Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga originally, Mel has gone on to do further teacher trainings with Jo Phee, and studied with Donna Farhi and Simon Borg Oliver, all of which has greatly influenced her teaching style, currently she teaches Hatha Vinyasa flow, Yang Rejuvenate and Yin yoga classes at “OM” Time Yoga Studio. Her all-inclusive teaching style and ability to cater for anyone from beginner level to more advanced practitioner allows anyone to join her classes and Retreats.

The Studio

“Come as you are, leave in Peace “ is the offering here. Meaning if you have a busy mind or stiff, tight body, come to “OM” Time Studio and do a Yoga class, you’ll feel a whole lot more peaceful & relaxed when you leave. Each day that we practice yoga, we feel different; depending on where our energy and mind is at; so we need to learn to listen to that and bring both into balance.
Balancing our minds and bodies is a very challenging act to follow. At “OM” Time you have the opportunity to do both. Our classes are a generous 80-90 minutes long and give you the time to calm your mind and energise your body, in turn you’ll have more clarity of mind and your body will benefit on so many levels; strength flexibility, agility and balance to name a few.

Yoga is far more than just a physical practice. It’s as much about nourishing our mental and emotional health and spiritual side too, which is very important especially in this day and age. So as we practice the Yoga postures, breathing and meditation techniques, we awaken our awareness and have the opportunity to know ourselves at a deeper level. The benefits of Yoga will show up immediately as we notice our ‘wholeselves’ and what we are needing to balance, from the inside-out.

“I teach yoga in a way that you will gain results by listening and respecting where your energy is at and what you need from your practice whether it be something with strength and activity or something more passive and rejuvenating; a lot of this is done through breath awareness; which can help to lower anxiety and stress in our lives. In this way our practice becomes our lifestyle" says Mel.

Everyone is welcome here. You may have practiced Yoga for a long time, or this might be your very first class. All of the Yoga teachers here design thier classes so that BEGINNERS are well looked after and coached through poses with attention to alignment, to keep you safe while you learn the fundamentals. Ongoing students will be challenged with different and deeper variations to poses. Regardless of your health status, age or general fitness, you will be able to join in these classes and feel taken care of and nurtured. The classes are small, up to 12 people in a class, so as teachers we can connect to each of you. For this reason it is necessary to book your space, call or text 0438953323.
