Welcome to Peaceful World Yoga's The Wisdom Keeper's Programs
The Wisdom Keeper's programs
Melissa Spencer is the heart and soul behind Soul Rhythms, a healing arts company devoted to connecting people through rhythm, sound, and spirit. With decades of experience in education and holistic wellness, Melissa brings the transformative power of djembe drumming, crystal singing bowls, and the Native American flute into every gathering she leads. Her senior-centered classes, lovingly called The Wisdom Keepers, honor the stories, strength, and sacred presence of elders. These rhythmic circles are designed not just for movement and music, but for memory, joy, and deep connection. Through the heartbeat of the drum, the resonance of bowls, and the soulful breath of the flute, Melissa holds space for healing, expression, and community. At the core of her work is a belief that rhythm is a language beyond words, and that sound can awaken the wisdom within us all.

Wisdom keeper Programs
Peaceful World Wisdom Keepers programs are fun, interactive, and create community connection as well as a sense of overall well-being. Our programs range from Gentle Floor Yoga using props, to chair yoga that supports balance and those who use walkers and wheelchairs. Don't let the word, Chair Yoga fool you. I also share that Chair Yoga isn't just for those with mobility challenges, Chair Yoga classes can also be designed for those with full mobility and need a full body exercise program.
The Peaceful World Wisdom Keepers Programs extend beyond Yoga. We offer a variety of engaging classes that meet the personal needs of most seniors.
