Melissa’s yoga journey began when she became pregnant with her son, Cristian. Her doctor recommended she try yoga to stay healthy throughout her pregnancy. Being a dancer from a very young age, Melissa found that yoga was another creative outlet in which she could express herself and instantly fell in love. She moved temporarily from Laredo but never separated from yoga. She continued practicing yoga while living in North Carolina.
When she returned to Laredo she wanted to continue practicing and learning about yoga and her sister invited her to a class at Casa Yoga. Melissa fell in love with the atmosphere Casa Yoga offered. She started working part-time at Casa Yoga as an Ambassador, but quickly took on the role of Assistant Manager and now spreads the love of Yoga fulltime. She is also a full-time mother who is very close to her son, mother, sister and brother. She strives to be the best role model to her son Cristian by taking him to, and supporting him, during Taekwondo practice and when watching him at his baseball games. On her off days, Melissa enjoys spending every moment she can with her son and family. Family is a very important part of her life, as they have been her support system and guidance through life. She loves sharing her love of Yoga with her and family and friends.
Melissa loves the way yoga makes her feel physically and spiritually. It allows her to connect and feel closer to God. It also allows her to live a more healthy and active lifestyle. She has always enjoyed different forms of fitness and plans to grow more within Casa Yoga.
“When I was 5 years old. My mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down, “happy.” They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.” - John Lennon
