I started going to Melissa Aguirre's yoga classes in 2015 at Living Balance studio in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I was in search of finding peace and serenity. Due to the stressful lifestyle of being in the military. At the time I was a Paratrooper in a Long Range Surveillance unit. To compliment my workout routine I would practice yoga once a week. The hour long class was amazing. Melissa provided me with proper instruction of form and technique.

Melissa has been an amazing teacher. I started taking yoga classes with her a year ago and had no idea what I was doing but she is so positive and caring that she brought me along to love doing yoga. She has been a great teacher who listens to what you need to work on and improves your weakness. She really makes yoga such an enjoyable time that it will be a life long joy for me. As a solider she has been able to gear the sessions to my needs and has eliminated any back painI have had. I cant think of a better person to have learned yoga from or to do yoga with.

Melissa is professional, caring, and extremely knowledgeable in her craft. If, it had not been for her guidance and belief in me, I would probably be walking around in substantial pain with very poor posture. After 16 sessions (and homework a few days per week) I am able to raise my hands above my head (without significant pain) and move with greater confidence than before. Melissa provides a safe, inspiring, and nurturing environment for anyone at any age looking to grow in strength, mind, body, and soul. Believe me,I have taken other Yoga lessons before and none of the instructors left me feeling like I should return for a second session.

Melissa Aguirre is not only a remarkable Yoga instructor, she is also an inspiration,health educator, and encourager. During some of the roughest years of my life Melissa gave me something to look forward to and an hour I knew I could escape everything going on in my life and just focus on me. I have become addicted to Yoga since starting to practice with Melissa. I never knew my body had the capacity to do the things it can now and the strength I continue to gain. I truly am going to miss my “Melissa Yoga” as my husband and the others that were regulars with Melissa would say but I am glad that she can spread some of her beautiful old soul with the rest of the world.I highly recommend Melissa as a Yoga instructor and health educator to everyone. She is definitely one person that has changed my life for the better and helped me on my journey of growth physically, mentally, and spiritually.

"My daughter miraculously survived a hit and run 5/6/18 we almost lost her. She has lost her memory from trauma to her head and has therapy almost every other day non stop when we went to a support group meeting and met the owner I just knew I had to talk my daughter into going. You see my daughter use to do hot yoga she had a membership but she doesn’t remember. I went with my Romelia today and I saw the life of memory in her posture positions. This yoga 🧘‍♀️ Studio is in a great location plenty of space the staff is thoroughly trained. I highly recommend this gentle class for beginners for new yogas." -Rosa
