My name is Melissa. My yoga journey started close to forty years ago. It began as a way to help control my breath and exercise while living with severe asthma. To say yoga has transformed me and has made me stronger is an understatement. 

I completed my 200- and 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings through The Yoga and Ayurveda Center in 2020, and I am certified in restorative yoga, chair yoga, yin yoga and curvy yoga. I am registered with Yoga Alliance as an ERYT-200, RYT-500 and YACEP; and certified as a 500-Hour Yoga Teacher with World Yoga Federation. I am also certified as a Grand Master of Meditation through Meditation Alliance International after studying under Swami Vidyanand. I currently hold the honor of being an International Ambassador of the Meditation Alliance International and Ambassador-United States of America for TIME Meditation and have always been drawn to meditation. In addition to Yoga and Meditation I am an Usui Reiki Master. I received my attunement at 4 Hands Spiritual Healing in 2016. Currently, I am enrolled in the Ayurvedic Practitioner Program at Yoga Veda Institute.

My husband and I founded Zen with Zegley LLC in 2016, which currently offers reiki, yoga and meditation-with and without sound offerings, as well as various workshops. Off the mat in my personal time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, being outdoors, and spending time with my very spoiled dog, Molly Moo.
