Tracy Moore, 500 RYT, 200 E-RYT, YACEP
Meesha, ERYT-200, Assistant Manager
Lisa mello, ERYT-200, Studio Owner & Manager
Tracy started her yoga practice over 15 years ago after a move to San Diego from the Midwest. New to the city, yoga provided a much-needed space to connect to a community. She found her passion for vinyasa style yoga and breath-to-movement flow style classes. She noticed after yoga, she felt more calm and less anxious. As her yoga journey continued, she came to love many styles of yoga that she blends into her classes. She is certified in Power yoga, Yin yoga, Gentle Flow & Restorative yoga.
She completed her 200-hour teacher training at CorePower Yoga in 2018 and her 300-hour advanced teaching training at Soul of Yoga to become a 500 RYT in 2023. She loves to teach and share her passion for yoga. Her teaching goals are to offer her students a welcoming space to explore their yoga practice and find confidence in their own practice. She loves to infuse yoga philosophy into her classes and teach ways for students to bring their practice off their mats and into their own lives.
Meesha is 200-hour certified with extra certifications in hot yoga, and yin yoga and studies other styles passionately. She has been a teacher training facilitator in 25 CPY TT programs and has taught at international meditation destinations like Rancho Valencia (CA) and Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, MX.
In Meesha’s classes, you will get a layer-based, grounding foundation in alignment and anatomical cues, juxtaposed alongside unexpected sequencing to promote presence and body awareness in creative mandalas and evolutionary flows. She teaches a blend of restorative, yin, hatha, and vinyasa styles predominantly, but has also studied the healing style of viniyoga (therapeutic style) as a side passion for years. As an English master, Michelle infuses her classes with poetic use of imagery exemplifying the yogic philosophical tenets while teaching not only how to do the postures, but how to connect deeply to your body, mind, and heart.
Lisa is a radiant being and a beautiful soul who strives to incorporate the perfect balance between strength and surrender in each of her classes. The mother of two and founder of Mello Yoga believes that yoga can be for everybody and every body. Her Master’s in Education and background as a teacher give her a natural grace and intuitive approach to guiding your practice. Lisa is dedicated to providing an enriching experience that leaves you recharged and re-energized.
Lisa is passionate about not only training teachers to excel at leading classes themselves but also specializing in kids’ yoga. Her inspiration to open Mello Yoga was born out of creating an all-inclusive community that also serves special populations like our local teens, kids, and athletes. She is always open to collaborating with other small business owners and is currently excited to work with our local soccer community.
