Become the Teacher
You Were Meant to Be

 

Hi, I’m Melisa Uchida, MA, E-RYT 500—founder of MaKa Movement RYS 200 & 300, and creator of The Healthy Human Project and The Strength in Stillness Method. With over 25 years of experience teaching yoga, Pilates, and group fitness, I’ve walked the path from burnout and self-doubt to deep purpose and holistic well-being.

Yoga saved my life—and reshaped it. From a time marked by anger, depression, and unhealthy coping to a life devoted to healing and helping others heal, my journey fuels my mission:

To help yoga teachers rise into their power, deepen their impact, and evolve from competent instructors into masterful guides.

Let’s be honest: Teaching yoga isn’t always easy.

Even the most passionate teachers can feel stuck, burned out, underpaid, or unsure how to grow. You want to create truly transformational classes, integrate strength and mindfulness, and make a living doing what you love—but you're not sure where to start.

I’ve been there.

That’s why I created this training—to help yoga teachers like you build a sustainable path to mastery, one rooted in holistic wellness, embodied wisdom, and soulful leadership.

What Makes This Training Different?

The Healthy Human Project is a revolutionary approach to yoga education. We go beyond asana, exploring the five essential pillars of well-being—body, mind, spirit, energy, and environment—through the lens of yogic wisdom and modern science. 

At the heart of our training is The Strength in Stillness Method—a signature fusion of:

  • Different styles of yoga including Vinyasa, Alignment-based, Kundalini, Somatic Yoga
  • Dynamic Tension & mindful strength
  • Breathwork, meditation, & visualization

 

  • Affirmations, lifestyle coaching & ethical education
  • Intelligent sequencing & precise cueing
  • Classe formats and skills for working with special populations
  • Professional development & business skills for yoga teachers

You’ll learn to integrate Patanjali’s 8 Limbs of Yoga into an embodied, modern-day practice—one that supports real people in real life, while helping you thrive as a teacher.

This training is for you if you’re ready to:

Teach with clarity, confidence, and creativity

Build a sustainable and fulfilling yoga career

Evolve from technician to teacher, and teacher to leader

Offer meaningful, multidimensional classes that truly transform lives

My Story

If I can change one person’s life through education, inspiration, community, and connection, my mission is fulfilled. My goal is to help individuals shift from loneliness, fear, and anger to adaptability, resilience, health, and fulfilment.

There is a proven system that increases your “quality of life meter” (QOL), transforming pain and suffering into contentment and peace. This system is rooted in thousands of years of wisdom and does not come in a pill; it’s embodied in the Healthy Human Project (THHP), which integrates yoga with evidence-based practices.

You are not alone; I am here as your guide on the journey to health and longevity. Each day offers a new opportunity to make different choices. THHP serves as the framework for this journey, supported by a community of classmates.

Our mission is to shift the health paradigm from dependence on the Western medical system to self-reliance and thriving, encompassing physical, mental, spiritual, relational, and environmental well-being. The current system fails by masking symptoms rather than healing.

After losing my husband Nate to suicide at 40, I recognized the limitations of traditional Western medical approaches and what Westerners are missing in our interpretations of yoga.

As a widow raising three children while managing PTSD symptoms, I committed to the Healthy Human Project path. My journey is about teaching others how to thrive and equipping them with essential skills for a fulfilling life.

We invite you to join us on this journey - let’s chat to see if this certification is a fit for you!

Melisa is also available for private coaching and intuitive readings upon request.
