Melissa Ferrigno discovered yoga when looking for an outlet to help balance her busy schedule while reducing stress and countering more active workout activities. After her first vinyasa yoga flow class she was hooked! She had found a practice where she could let go and focus on her connection of mind, body, and spirit while toning and strengthening her body.
Melissa received her 200 Hr teacher training from Breathing Room in 2013 and continued to teach at Breathing Room learning from one of her mentors Lily Dougher. In addition to teaching, Melissa soon became manager of the studio and connecting more with the Breathing Room community. In July of 2020 Melissa became the new owner of Breathing Room. Owning a Yoga Studio was a dream of hers and is grateful to be able to continue to lead and work with the community in this way.
In addition to her 200Hr teacher training, she also holds a certification in kids yoga, prenatal, restorative, yin yoga, and is a Reiki Master.
