Melissa Lee

Melissa Lee (she/her/hers) opened DYSL Studio in 2021 after receiving her RYT-500 and Reiki 1 certification from Stone Wave Yoga in Gardiner, New York. Since completing her certification, Melissa has been teaching wellness experiences, yoga hikes, private and group yoga classes weekends at Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York. She also offers private yoga instruction for individuals and groups, weekly at The Yoga House in Highland New York.

The belief that “yoga is a lifestyle” has long been the central theme of her practice and she is always excited to share yoga, especially with the African American community which she feels would greatly benefit from the mind-body connection it promotes through asana, pranayama and meditation.

Melissa resides in Dutchess County with her family and supports her household via her primary career in Corporate Finance, most recently working for Ralph Lauren for the past 15 years. When she’s not practicing or sharing her yoga practice, Melissa enjoys hiking, preparing new vegetarian meals, and working with other board members of Juneteenth Freedom Fest NYC, planning their annual Juneteenth community celebration in Harlem.
