Sri Devi Melissa Urey

Sri Devi Melissa Urey (RYT 500, Usui/Holy Fire ART Reiki Master) has forever been drawn to the union of mind and body in the present moment and the learning that can take place there. Coming from a background in theater and dance, she began sharing this as an important life skill with children of all ages through those mediums.  

Finding yoga while in recovery from surgery, Melissa realized that everything she loved most about teaching theater, she could share even more deeply through yoga. She completed her 200HR YTT with ShivaShakti School of Yoga in 2016 and her 500HR YTT in 2018. She has done specialty trainings in Yoga Nidra, Pranayama and Meditation and Children’s Yoga with ShivaShakti and Restorative Yoga training with Margo Rosingana. A great lover of Sanskrit and the Bhagavad Gita, she currently studies both with Prem Sadasivananda from whom she received her spiritual name in 2017.  

More recently she has begun to share her strong affinity for healing with others. Through studies with the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) and Melissa Rose Redman she acquired her Usui/Holy Fire ART Reiki Master certification in May 2019. Melissa also facilitates the 6@6 Collective Healing Meditation Facebook group to assist in a global effort to pause and send healing energy every evening at 6pm.  

Allowing the awareness to come out of the busy mind and be aware of how the body feels is a guiding force in all of her classes. Her classes are accessible for all levels of practice.  

Melissa is honored to be a part of the Rosemont Wellness Yoga team.
