My name is Melanie Law and I identify as a Bhakti teacher, student, seeker, storyteller, sacred chanter, mentor, and Mother of two.

My journey began in the mid-90s in the spiritual community of the Shoshoni Institute near Boulder, CO. I fell in love with the ashram way of life, participating in chanting, yoga, meditation, and seva. I had discovered something that resonated with my deepest inner longing and I instantly knew I had found my path. In 1995 I attended Shishoni’s teacher’s training program in Hatha Yoga with a strong emphasis on developing a spiritual practice. Six months later my life had radically changed and the seeds were planted for my devotional life to unfold.

Shortly after completing my yoga training I discovered Sharon and David Life’s Jivamukti Yoga in NYC where my passion for weaving the classical traditions with creative flow, music, aromatherapy, and spiritual texts was ignited. During this time I met Krishna Das and was introduced to the lineage of Neem Karoli Baba. I immediately bought a harmonium and began chanting in my classes back home in Telluride. I didn’t know it at the time but the course had been set for my Bhakti offerings to grow wings. In 1998 I opened a yoga studio in Telluride, CO (now the Telluride Yoga Center) where I shared my love of these yoga traditions with hundreds of students in the Telluride region. In 2002 I completed Richard Freeman’s Ashtanga teacher’s training further adding to my depth of knowledge in the classical traditions. In 2003 I sold the Telluride studio to become a full-time mother to my two beautiful sons Jonah and Ruben Kornbluh.
