A real gem -
I have practiced at Island Salt Air for about two years now. The space is beautiful. Big windows you can stand in front of and look out as opposed to just staring at a mirror or a wall. Melody has to be one of the most positive individuals I have ever met. She is always so warm, welcoming, and encouraging. Definitely look out for her on the schedule as she does not teach as often as I'd like.
Whenever I have a concern I can email the studio and get a response back in a day or so. When COVID hit she was great about letting me pause my account when everything shut down.
The only cons

I dropped into a 6AM yoga class with Natalie while on vacation in Galveston, and it was AMAZING. The class was challenging and fun, Natalie is a compassionate and confident teacher. You could tell the studio was very well run, and the cold lavender towels at the end of the practice were a vacation in themselves. Thank you!

As an tenured Yogi (not good, just seasoned), I can't express enough how much we love Melody and Island Salt Air Yoga.
This is the best yoga in Galveston! I've studied under Melody for three years, and her energy, expertise and structure are incredible, as is the quality of all her teachers.
If you're living on the island and looking for a yoga studio to call home, this is your place! If you are an island visitor, try it out!
Whether you are new to yoga or experienced & looking for a push, they are simply the best the Island has to offer!

ISA is home! In my 8 years of yoga practice I have never been to a more open, loving and community driven studio. Melody, Olivia, Natalie, Deanna and all the teachers are phenomenal. There is an offering for anyone interested in aligning body and mind through the added power of a hot studio. For the more advanced Yogi, look no further than Melody's Tuesday/Thursday 7:30pm Advanced Baptiste Power Vinyasa. You will be challenged! Did I mention the cold lavender towels during savasana?!?!
