Melissa (CYT 200) found yoga in 2009 as a healing practice and part of physical therapy after she injured her lower back. She did yoga on and off for many years until moving to Colorado where her practice profoundly deepened. In 2019, Melissa graduated with her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate and began her teaching journey. In addition to teaching yoga, Melissa is a chef, holistic nutritionist and holistic health coach where she finds passion in educating, empowering, providing information and acting as a guide for others to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing. When not practicing yoga, Melissa loves spending time with her family and friends, dancing, cooking, gardening, being in nature and learning from the wisdom of plants and animals.
