Melinda Luksch

Beaches, mountains, quaint towns, busy boulevards, road trips, train rides and sleeping in airports- Melinda has always been a big fan of traveling. Through the years and career shifts, she has been able to incorporate more travel into her life and has seen the rich benefits that adventure provides. She is an explorer of the great outdoors, a café connoisseur, and is inspired by romance, art and good conversation over (decaf) coffee.

As an E-RYT 500 Yoga Educator and Lightyear Leadership Coach, Melinda is passionate about sharing the practice beyond the walls of a studio and committed to supporting others in discovering their greatness so they can share their gifts with the world. With interests ranging from yoga, marketing, photography, writing, design/style, community building and leadership, Melinda continues to broaden her perspective and ability to listen and love all people's unique contributions.

When not traveling the world sharing yoga, leading trainings and retreats, you can find Melinda at home in Bend, Oregon doing brand + design work, teaching at her yoga studio, or walking in the forest with her husband Corey, baby Goldie and pups Ruger + Betty White.
