Live Eat Think Be Well Yoga’s ability to heal became abundantly clear to Melissa after years of living with the painful effects of multiple sports related injuries. She found yoga to be the only therapy to give her true physical and mental relief. It became obvious her path was to share this message with the world. She became a full-time Bikram teacher in 2009. Since her Bikram Yoga training she has continued her education, getting certified in Restorative Yoga, Synergy Partner Yoga, Kids Yoga and Pre/Postnatal Yoga. Off the Mat Melissa strives to blend yoga principals into all aspects of her life. Melissa founded Let’s Balance Your Body a health and wellness brand that is dedicated to spreading the message of inspiration and wellness through social media, yoga events, transformational workshops and retreats. She has a true zest for life and is always seeking new ways to incorporate alternative approaches into her practice and teaching.
Call me delusional - but my name is Mel though…
Meliorism 🦋🌸
The belief that we can create positive change and make the world a little brighter through acts of love, creativity, compassion, and kindness.
Maybe we can’t change everything all at once—but we can change the energy we bring into a room, the way we care for one another and the beauty we choose to create.
Small acts ripple outward.
Kindness matters.
Love makes a difference.
That’s Melorism—and it’s how I want to move through the world. 💛

Come see Be Well Mel at Wildroot Farm! ✨
I’m so excited to be part of A Community of Wondrous Well Women Partners as we help Laura kick off the inaugural Women’s Wellness Day at the beautiful Wildroot Farm.
I recently visited the farm to meet the donkeys, and the chickens walk the grounds, and see where each vendor will be set up. Laura shared more about the incredible vendors joining us and the unique offerings they’ll bring to this special day. I can’t wait for you to experience it all!
For the first time, Laura is welcoming the public onto the farm for a day devoted to women, wellness, meaningful connection, and the beauty of gathering together in nature.
Come explore the farm, connect with an incredible community of women and wellness practitioners, and be sure to stop by the Be Well Mel table to say hello!

Sunday confession:
I need things that slow me down.
I have ADHD. 🐎My cart is often before the horse because my brain is a 🏎️🌬️Ferrari—fast, furious, full of big ideas with bicycle brakes. M heart has always carried a spark for wanting a BIG 💥LIFE and a burning desire to ignite a shining light ✨🤍.
And sometimes, I have a VERY activated nervous system, which comes with a tired soul. And can look very dysfunctional and disorganized. 🌪️
I’ve learned that slowing down doesn’t mean dimming our light or settling for less. It means creating enough space to hear myself. To tend to the woman behind all the ideas. To let my body catch up with the life my mind has already dreamed up for us.
So I’ve set aside one day a week, often Sunday, to choose a softer pace. Even if I’m working, I try to do something more slowly.
Less urgency.
More breath.
More room to be.
Because the sparkle is still there and the fire is too. ✨🔥
WHY I love yin and sound together. The postures and gravity, the sounds and frequencies, do the heavy lifting—and then we all just get to be.🤍😌🎶

Sunday confession: every year, right about now, I feel it.
Summer is hot, expansive and full of energy. The days are longer, the light lingers, and there is so much movement—so much to do, enjoy, create and take in.
Then, almost all of a sudden, a restlessness arrives.
But it isn’t asking for more movement. It’s asking for grounding. For a reset. For a moment to come home to myself and begin preparing for the slower pace of the season ahead.
There can be such a tug to keep going—to fill the calendar, to hold onto the energy, to rush straight into what’s next. And yet, somewhere deeper, there is a knowing: this is a time to clean the slate and flood the nervous system with care.
To clear some space. To refresh my rhythms. To be intentional about what I am carrying forward—and what I am ready to leave behind.
A little more quiet.
A little more breathing room.
A little more tending to what matters.
My intention this new moon: ground, connect, refresh.
What are you feeling called to make space for right now? ✨
