Living from the Heart

Author: yogibee

I'm Melissa, I was born in Mexico and grew up with my feet in the sand, my skin always salty from the sea and my curly hair knotted. My parents are French, my mum is half Senegalese and I lived in Marseille for 6 years, I also lived in London for 11 years and I have now been living in Central America for 5 years but the World is my Home. After living most of my life as I thought I should; going to university, completing a Masters degree, working in the corporate World and spending money on things and experiences that brought me temporary fulfilment, I found Yoga. I now realise that I was looking for something, without knowing I was, or what it was. I longed for meaning that no pair of shoes, holiday or promotion could ever give me. I fell in love with the practice. I started meditating daily, went to yoga classes most days and I began to notice how my spiritual practice positively radiated to every area of my life. Yoga led me to the most profound realisation - Everything I ever longed for was within me. Yoga impacted my life and my relationships so profoundly, that I felt inspired to deepen my understanding of yogic philosophy and share it with others. Yoga Teacher Training revolutionised my understanding not only of Yoga but of mySelf and Life itself. I have since continued to learn from wonderful teachers that have guided me and inspired me to further my learning and continue on the path of self-realization. I guide classes, workshops, ceremonies, retreats and Yoga Teacher Trainings and I continue to be amazed by the healing and transforming powers of breath, movement, stillness, intention and connection and am grateful every day for the opportunity to share these practices with others.

Solo female travel tips : Hawaii & California

October 27, 2017October 30, 2017 yogibee

When I tell people that I am travelling alone for a year, I am mostly met with 3 different reactions: Fear, admiration and sometimes a little envy. I used to say “I could never travel alone!”. I’m not too sure … Continue reading Solo female travel tips : Hawaii & California

Hawai`i Island hopping

Diaries of a burner

September 28, 2017September 29, 2017 yogibee

I was a bit reluctant to write about Burning Man. I like the idea that “what happens at Black Rock City, stays in BRC.” However, I came to the realisation that no words could convey what being a burner feels … Continue reading Diaries of a burner

Honolulu & O’ahu Do’s and Don’ts

September 18, 2017September 18, 2017 yogibee

I didn’t plan much (at all) before coming to Hawaï. Partly because my last few months in London were packed with my 2 jobs and seeing friends. But also because I liked the idea of ‘going with the flow’. So … Continue reading Honolulu & O’ahu Do’s and Don’ts

Diaries of an aspiring minimalist – 6 months no shopping!

July 2, 2017July 3, 2017 yogibee

I used to joke about being a shopaholic. Joking about it made it sound like less of a problem. In reality, I had a complicated relationship with my spending and my need to acquire material possessions to fill a ‘void’ … Continue reading Diaries of an aspiring minimalist – 6 months no shopping!
