Ten years after being a psychoanalyst, meditation made a very powerful call to me, at a crucial moment in my existence.
Mélanie approaches the practice of yoga from the edges that she has developed, that is, from the exploration of the unconscious and the soul to the liberation of the knowledge of a body that "never lies" (Alice Miller).
She organizes yoga and meditation retreats periodically in Mexico and Europe, also online, and she does so alone or accompanied by other seekers. She prefers to call these retreats "yoga and meditation immersions."
She was a teacher in front of a group at the age of 21, in England. She studied pedagogy and has worked as a primary school teacher for more than 15 years, which allows her today to offer practices adapted to each practitioner, whether it is her first time or a practitioner for many years.
Mélanie Berthaud offers guided meditations every morning at 5:30 am on her platform - via Zoom - from Monday to Friday and believes that it is the best way to start the day and thus sustain a solid structure that drives transformation. Since March 2023, meditation practices are linked to the practice of journaling.
In 2020, she created the podcast Justine Time, which has reached seven parallel seasons in 2023: the podcast is a voluntarily and consciously artisanal podcast, in counterpoint to a hyper-produced world.
The yoga practices currently offered are 90 minutes long and occur twice a week in person and online. Mélanie Berthaud is a Yoga Alliance certified teacher and is registered on the Insight Timer meditation app, with which she collaborates. She organizes 2 reading and study clubs a year and non-violent communication workshops.
She attends his office in CDMX and works online with patients who live in other parts of the world in Spanish, French and English.

Yoga has made me much more loving, patient and has allowed me to get closer to the mystery and magic of life.
My classes are structured to always approach yoga as a science, a philosophy and an art.
I review, in each session, the classic texts. I chant mantras, too, because I love to sing.
I conceive my sessions in writing and plan for each week in order to allow practitioners to progress each week. At the same time, once I am in front of the group that receives the practice I offer, my entire being goes to the magical process of IMPROVISATION.
My lessons are multilevel because the practice adapts to the student and not the other way around. My limit of students is 8 in person because I give them a lot of attention.
