About Edya
Edya's Story
Edya Kalev is a movement and wellness educator who helps people reveal their truest and healthiest selves.
Edya's journey into the yoga world began in 2005 when she worked 9-5 at a desk job. Stressed and achy after a long day, yoga is the only thing that made her feel better. Soon enough, Edya quit her job, got rid of her apartment and car, and took off for India. 6 months later, she returned as a Registered Yoga Teacher and a Reiki Practitioner. Since then, Edya has studied with some of New York's most respected and innovative teachers, opening her to new ways of seeing the body. She also returned to India in 2008 to study Yoga Therapy at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai.
In 2005, Edya lay down on a foam roller for the first time and experienced an immediate full-body change. She pursued a MELT teaching certificate with Sue Hitzmann, creator of the MELT Method, to be able to share this incredibly simple yet powerful tool with others.
As a lifelong health-food store junkie, Edya has explored many kinds of vitamins and supplements. Upon her return from India in 2005, she experienced digestive issues and lack of energy, as well as a depressed immune system. Since finding Isotonix Nutritional supplements, she hasn't been sick in spite of a hectic schedule of teaching and studying.
After 4 years of in-depth study of yoga, breathing, MELT, anatomy, and nutrition, Edya has only just begun to heal herself and explore the mysteries of her own body. In sharing her knowledge and experience with others, she endeavors to help them along their own path of healing.
