Journey to Mindfulness
Melissa Matteson began her journey of teaching yoga in the Sauk
Valley Area in October 2016 with the opening of Central Park Yoga
located at 212 E 4th St. Sterling, IL.
Prior to opening Central Park Yoga, Melissa worked for Verizon
Wireless as a sales consultant and then progressed into management.
Working 40 plus hour weeks in retail began having negative effects
on Melissa’s stress level, anxiety, and physical body. “I knew there
had to be more to life than what I was going through. I sought out
yoga and it was the best decision I have ever made.” She began
practicing yoga at Indigo Wellness in Moline, IL and immediately
experienced benefits with her anxiety levels and tension releasing
from her physical body. “My time on the mat was my time of release,
I learned how to calm down the mind and breath. The mat was my
sanctuary.”
Melissa took the next step in her journey with yoga and completed her
200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training through Indigo Wellness, graduating
on June 12th, 2016.
The practice of the Mind, Body, Breath, and Spirit was too beautiful
for Melissa not to share with others. This led her to take a leap of
faith, leave the corporate world, and open the doors to Central Park
Yoga.
Central Park Yoga offers yoga classes six days a week, Monday
through Saturday, with available class times to meet an individuals’
busy schedule. To view the full class schedule and book your space
in for class, find Central Park Yoga on Facebook or download the
app Studio Bookings from your Android or Apple device. The first
class is offered for free to new students and all levels of students are
welcome!
In addition to offering general public classes, Central Park Yoga is
now the Sauk Valley Area’s first accredited Yoga School through
Yoga Alliance. On November 16th 2018, Melissa received approval
from Yoga Alliance for Central Park Yoga to begin offering 200 Hour
Yoga Teacher Training. The first wave of training starts in February
2019 and the second wave of training will begin in September 2019.
Upon completion, enrollees will obtain their 200 Hour Yoga Teacher
Training Certificate. Melissa states, “Yoga teacher training is not
just for individuals who want to teach yoga; it is also for someone
who wants to dig deeper into the practice and understand it fully.”
Enrollment for the September 2019 training is now available with
Early Bird Pricing through July 31st 2019. Students who enroll prior
to July 31st receive $300 off on the tuition rate.
