Dede Schreiner, RYT 200, began teaching in 2009 and in 2016, founded I AM Yoga; a soul care equipping ministry for body, mind and heart that invites students to embrace their sacred worth with grace and love.  Dede believes in a practice-based lifestyle, where openness and joy meet deep and sacred.  Compassionately, she companions her students on a journey of living well and loving well through movement, contemplation, action, stillness and community. Dede has led four yoga retreats with Belize Yoga in Belize and the Azores (three were co-taught  with Mellisa).
 

Mellisa Scaccia, RYT 200, began her yoga journey almost 9 years ago.  Through yoga, she found a welcoming space to build friendships and strong community of connections.  After her first Belize Yoga retreat, Mellisa was overwhelmingly inspired by her experience and made the decision to pursue becoming a Yoga Instructor.  Since 2017, she has been teaching yoga at a local studio, in partnership with a local hospital, privately and at various events near her home in Missouri.  This will be Mellisa’s 5th Belize Yoga retreat and 4th time co-leading with Dede Schreiner.  She is a Servant Leader who has an open, loving and listening approach to teaching and interactions with all who cross her path.  She looks forward sharing this retreat with you in 2024.
