Mellara Gold

She is the author of two books A Life Worth Living: A Journey of Self-Discovery Through Mindfulness, Yoga, and Living in Awareness. And, Living In Awareness; Deepening Our Daily Lives Through Prayer, Ritual, and Meditation. Mellara’s inspirational style of teaching interweaves the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga, sharing primarily from the radiance of her own insights and the practice of self-inquiry. She was born in Queensland, Australia, and at the age of seventeen moved to Los Angeles to attend the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. After roles in Don’t Look Back, with Peter Fonda (1996) and Love Boat: The Next Wave (1998), a depleting injury led her to embark on a healing journey, focusing on yoga. At the Center for Yoga and other Los Angeles studios, she immersed herself in Hatha, Iyengar, Viniyoga, Ashtanga, and other traditions, and completed teacher training with the Center For Yoga, Erich Schiffmann and Saul David Raye. Always a student herself, Mellara's personal yoga practice has benefited greatly from using The Great Yoga Wall™. She has taught students privately on the Wall since 2002. Now since moving from the West to the East Coast of the U.S in 2022 Mellara has been teaching at Open Doors Yoga Studios in the Boston area where she offers group yoga and private one-on-one Yoga Wall sessions as a valuable tool for students advancing practice, exploring new poses and back pain relief.
