Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Melissa Spencer and I am the founder of Peaceful World Yoga, a Mindful-Based Yoga program for human beings of all ages.
My greatest passion and mission in life is to serve humanity in a way that supports their own life purpose by gently guiding each student to open themselves up to the endless possibilities life has to offer
After retiring from a 25-year career in public education, I made the choice to become a certified Yoga instructor and embarked on the internal journey to receive my 200 Hour Yoga teacher training and certification at the renowned Himalayan Institute. I continued to expand my journey
in the field of Yoga and worked my way through an E-RYT 500 in Denver, Colorado. Simaltaneoysly, I decided to embark on a journey to receive a 200 Hour Meditation Certification with Dr. Loren Roche from the Radiant Sutras Meditation Certification Program and I am currently enrolled in The Shift Network's Sacred Sound Healer Program
Learning how sound helps to heal the body, mind, and spiritual aspects of ourselves has created a big shift in my learning as well as my teaching and guiding others to find their own internal music, as we are all instruments
I hope to see you in some of my weekly classes and special events and courses soon. Our journeys may be different but we can all walk one another Home with love and peace....
Shanti, shanti, shanti
May peace prevail on Earth

Educational Background
Melissa's Educational background includes a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Florida Atlantic University, A Master's Degree in Literacy from Walden University, A Master's Degree in Administration and Counseling from University of Colorado, and Master's Degree in Mindful-Based Stress Reduction from UMASS. Spencer received her Ph.D in 2015 in Administrative Studies and Policies with a focus on Trauma Therapy Counseling. Although education is a gift in today's world, Melissa believes that degrees and certifications mean nothing if they are not implemented with deep lisening, purpose, intention, and love and keeping the whole-person in mind. Taking the knowledge and wisdom from books and instructors is only useful if the lessons learned and implemented come from the space of the heart
Melissa attributes her contributions to the world to all of her teachers, her dear friends, and amazing supporters who have been placed on her path; with the support and love of the Human Race the world can be whole. Her belief is that she is here to serve through Yoga philosophy, healing touch, sound healing, and guiding students to discover the union of the mind, body, and the spirit through a daily practice.
"The lessons that make the most impacts in the world are those that are taken off the yoga mat and implemented out into the world"
Melissa is a dedicated practitioner in the spiritual aspects of the Eight Limb Path and is humbled and honored to do the work of the Divine Mother, all of nature, the Universe, and Mother Earth.
