The first yoga class Mellony took was Bikram Yoga in 2002. Being a runner and loving the runners high most experience she couldnīt believe how she felt after that class. Feeling as if she had just run 90 minutes without leaving a mats length. The experience was both physical and psychological. After practicing Hot Yoga for 4 years she was introduced to Vinyasa Flow falling in love all over again. The appreciation for yoga and itīs benefits grew from just practicing to wanting to learn more about the history of yoga, and to become a teacher. After researching many schools of yoga she found the Moksha Yoga Community in Toronto, Canada. They have an amazing philosophy and sequence, combining many of the traditional Hatha Yoga postures found in the Bikram series with an additional 10 postures. After a month long intensive training and 10 month correspondance she is proud to be a certified Moksha instructor sharing their wisdom and love of Hot Yoga.

Over the years, Melissa had taken yoga classes here and there, if she travelled or offered at the gym. A studio opened up in Ormond Beach where she took her first Bikram class and absolutely loved it.
The Ormond studio evolved into teaching other styles of yoga, which deepened her passion and curiousity more. Through her practice, she learned that there was much more to yoga than just postures. She decided to go through a teacher training to take her practice to the next level. Upon completing her 200 hour certification with Yoga Alliance through Red Sun Yoga in Winter Springs she began teaching and sharing her passion with others.
Melissa has had the pleasure of taking classes and trainings from many highly recognized teachers in the yoga community such as Johnny Kest, Sri Dharma Mittra,Shiva Rae, John Friend,Kate Potter,Jeannie Laslo and Stephanie Keach.
