Melissa has been practicing yoga since 2012. As her enthusiasm grew, she found her passion in yoga and would love to share it with others. Her teaching journey started when she joined teacher training in Indonesia in 2015. When she was 24-week pregnant in 2016, she joined Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training with Jennifer More in Ubud, Bali to learn and feel how prenatal yoga can affect her pregnant body. Working out on the pregnant-posture surely made the baby in favorable position, geared her up for labour and as a bonus, she got a low-back-pain-free pregnancy. After taking a break in teaching due to her new role as a mother and moved to Singapore, she decided to take the 200-Hr YTT in 2019 at Yoga Mala Singapore to deepen her understanding and prepare her better for her class. 

For Melissa, being a yoga teacher is more than just giving cues for poses, it’s about to give positive impact to the life of those who join her class. It can be on the physical level which relate to their health or non physical level which relate to the peace of mind. Nothing can compare to the contentment of leading a yoga class, especially seeing the students’ relaxed and happy faces after practice.
