Yama Yoga, located in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward

Melissa Brown

Being part of the corporate world of design was what I thought I wanted as a lifelong career.  I loved the creativity of the profession, but the high level of stress and client demand was taxing my mental well-being.  I started looking for ways to bring a sense of control and balance back into my life.  More than 18 years of dance experience had me craving to reengage my body in physical activity while allowing my mind to release the stress. Yoga was the answer.  With the strong desire to immerse myself in the practice, I chose to take an instructor’s training course but had little intention to teach.   However after completing my certification at Milwaukee’s Kanyakumari, I became completely immersed in the practice and the desire to share it with others grew within me.  I began teaching immediately. The focus of my teaching is to inspire new students to begin a personal practice, teach the fundamentals of the poses and introduce the art of relaxation.  My classes are gentle yet challenging with ample time for focused breathing and spiritual connection.  Every class is unique, as I like to offer my students an opportunity to grow beyond their knowing potential in hopes of reaching true enlightenment!  Please join me and begin a journey of your own!
