Instructors:
Melina Meza began teaching in 1996. Her main influences have been in the Krishnamacharya lineage: the therapeutic teachings of Gary Kraftsow and the Yin/Yang sequencing of Sarah Powers. Robert Svoboda’s philosophies around Ayurveda also infuse her teachings.

Chiara Guerrieri has been practicing yoga for 18 years and massage for 20 years. Throughout her life, Chiara has also taught Italian (her native tongue), Massage, Anatomy & Physiology, and Injury Treatment at several massage schools in Seattle and Europe. She teaches yoga at several Seattle yoga studios.

Anne Phyfe Palmer founded 8 Limbs Yoga Centers in 1996 to create an inclusive place of learning that honors the many paths we take in our practice. She specializes in prenatal yoga and teaching chakra awareness for personal growth.
