Melissa "Miji" Brown Co-owner, Yoga Teacher & Resident Massage Therapist, RYT 200, LMT Melissa began studying yoga in the early fall of 2005 with Ranjani Powers & Leon Lim at Sakti Yoga. After losing a lot of weight, she decided that it was something she wanted to delve deeper into and began taking classes as regularly as she could. In the spring of 2006, Melissa took the 200-hour Sakti Yoga Teacher's Training Course. Soon after, Melissa began teaching regularly at Sakti Yoga, Wright State University and took an additional teacher training course with David Swenson. In December of 2006, she and her husband were given the opportunity to run a yoga studio, and now they share their love of Sakti through Sri Yoga. In addition to running the studio that following year, Melissa graduated from the Dayton School of Medical Massage. Although Melissa is at the beginning of her spiritual path, she has completely dedicated her life to the teachings of yoga. She believes that it is through her daily practice that she can share her experiences with others. Teaching has always been something that has come naturally to Melissa, and she has always enjoyed helping others. Currently, Melissa teaches yoga classes at Sri Yoga and to Wright State University's baseball team. She also offers massage full time at Sri Yoga.
	Michael "Mo" Brown Co-owner, Yoga Teacher & Tabla Whizz, RYT 200 Michael began studying yoga in spring of 2005 with Ranjani Powers & Leon Lim at Sakti Yoga. Not only did he enjoy the challenging asana classes, he was completely enthralled by yoga philosophy and the practical, down-to-earth approach of Sakti Yoga. This prompted him to take Yoga Sutra classes, Nada Yoga sessions, and Sanskrit seminars, which led to his decision to fully embrace vegetarianism. In the spring of 2006, Michael went through the Sakti Yoga 200-hour Teacher's Training Course. Later that year, Michael completed another teacher training course with David Swenson. And then soon after, Michael and his wife were given the opportunity to share their passion for yoga to others and joyfully serve the North Dayton area and continue to do so today through Sri Yoga. Michael, an avid Sakti Vinyasa Yoga practitioner, loves a challenging Yoga practice balanced with a slower SloFlo Yoga practice. He finds Yoga to be a life changing practice that can help people become more peaceful, easeful, and useful. He enjoys practical and inspirational books on Yoga, Tantra, Vedanta, and Ayurveda and finding ways to apply them to everyday life. When not at the front desk, taking or teaching class, he enjoys cooking and going on walks with Melissa and his baby girl Madeline.
