Welcome Sajan Melcher to the Roots to Crown team!
Sajan’s story is an odyssey of physical and spiritual exploration. From the rigorous arenas of mixed martial arts, where he honed his skills in kickboxing, muay thai, wrestling, and Jiu jitsu, to meditative retreats of India, Sajan's path has been highly transformative. His career as a competitive martial artist was cut short due to a knee injury, but this setback paved the way for a deeper exploration of the inner self, leading him to Vipassana and other meditative practices.
Upon returning to the United States, Sajan applied his physical prowess in the Tree Service Industry, while embracing ecstatic dance and free-form movement meditation. His teaching journey began in Bradenton's Riverwalk Park, where he first taught yoga, later delving into the Movement culture under the mentorship of Ido Portal. Sajan's expertise spans the Ta***ic Hatha Yoga traditions, where he specializes in the 108 movements of the Dzogchen community, integrating body, breath, and mind.
Sajan's teaching style is rooted in authenticity and inner wisdom. His Mace classes are a unique blend of traditional Indo-European practices, focusing on 'Holding Space' and 'Listening Inwardly with Intent'. He revitalizes the ancient concept of Zerkenehs or 'Houses of Power', where the rhythm of the circle fosters coherence and flow.
As an instructor, Sajan aspires to empower his students, encouraging them to discover their authentic selves through the discipline of the Mace. He draws inspiration from the Great Father Archetype, as defined by Carl Jung, emphasizing the dual qualities of holding and listening.
Beyond teaching, Sajan is passionate about breathwork and the study of diverse religious scriptures, seeking unity in the diversity of spiritual paths. He balances his personal interests with his responsibilities as a teacher and mentor.
For those eager to learn from Sajan, he is readily accessible. Reach out to him on Instagram, email, or connect via Facebook (contacts in comments). He actively shares his practices and stories on Instagram and coordinates his Steel Mace Flow classes through a Signal group, welcoming all interested in joining this growing movement.
