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.

Just waking up to learn today, we remember a woman who helped generations of women imagine more for themselves—and find the courage to pursue it.
“Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.”
— Gloria Steinem 💛

These words feel especially meaningful as we say goodbye.

So much begins with a little dream: an idea, a possibility, a quiet feeling that there’s something more you’re here to do.

May we honor her by believing in our own voices, making room for one another, and encouraging the women beside us to keep going.

Dream a little. Take a step. Help another woman take hers.

Rest peacefully, Gloria. Thank you for helping so many women see what was possible. 💛

Live. Eat. Think. Be Well.

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to simply rest?

Robin and I love coming together for movement, breath, rest + sound.

I’ll guide you through gentle, supported yoga with time to get comfortable and settle in.

Robin will bring the sounds of crystal singing bowls, bells, gongs, chimes, rain sticks, drums, water and more into the room as you rest.

No perfect pose. No experience needed. No particular way you’re supposed to feel.

After class, stay for light refreshments, conversation + community—a little time to connect before heading back into your week.
Swipe through for a look at what you’ll experience including moments from our last experience together at The Hot Room.
YOGA + SOUND
From our annual Yoga in the Park at Harlinsdale, to your local yoga studios to private retreats and corporate experiences Robin and I can’t wait to help you rest, release, ground, relax and restore your joy.

TELL IT TUESDAY 🌻☀️🐴

Hello, September.👋

As we let go of August, the long days of summer, and begin moving toward a new season, I’m reminded that nature never seems to rush the transition.

The flowers don’t know the calendar changed today.

They just keep blooming until it’s time not to.

Maybe there’s something in that for us.

September, be gentle.
Be abundant.
Be grounding.
Be joyful.🙏😌

Bring good people, slower moments, deep breaths, long tables, fresh flowers, good food and plenty of reasons to gather.

But gentle doesn’t mean standing still.

This is the Year of the Horse, after all. 🐎👏

Maybe it took you a little while to find your footing this year. Maybe you’re just now finding your momentum and hitting your stride.

Keep going.

We still have four whole months left in this year.

That’s plenty of time to take the trip. Start the thing. Make the call. Change direction. Finish what you started. Bring an idea to life. Get a little closer to a goal—or finally go after the dream you’ve been carrying around.

You don’t need to panic about the “last quarter hustle.”

Just keep moving with intention.

There is still so much year left to live.

So for Tell It Tuesday, tell me:

What do you still want to make happen in 2026?

I’d love to support that!

At some point you’ve gotta starting being vs doing
✨ ROMANTICIZE YOUR LIFE. ✨

Not someday.
Not when you have more time.
Not when everything is checked off the list.

Now.

Do the thing.
Take it slow.
Light the candle.
Put on the pretty things.
Cook like you’re in Italy.
Dance in the kitchen.
Use the good dishes.
Pour the good w**e.
Take the picture.
Sit outside a little longer.
Make Sunday sauce and let it simmer all afternoon.
Gather around the table.
Be present. Be grateful.

Stop saving the beautiful things for a special occasion.

The ordinary Tuesday.
The slow Sunday.
Dinner at home.
Coffee in your favorite cup.
The people sitting around your table.

This is the special occasion.
This is your life.

Make it beautiful. Make it yours.🌻

✨ WHAT IF SUNDAY LOOKED DIFFERENT?

What if we told you there was another way to do Sunday?

One where you could step away from the usual Sunday hustle for a couple of hours and still check a few things off your list.

Move your body. ✔️
Take a little time for yourself. ✔️
Get outside + breathe. ✔️
Connect with your community. ✔️
Pick up beautiful locally grown food for the week. ✔️
Bring home fresh flowers. ✔️
Discover a great bottle of w**e. ✔️
Support local farms, makers + small businesses. ✔️

That’s a different kind of Sunday — and we’d love to show it to you.

Come out to Bullbourne Ranch, roll out your mat inside the beautiful barn and give yourself an hour to move, breathe + reconnect.

And afterward, don’t rush off.

Stay. Gather. Explore.

That’s where The Gathering Collection comes in.

I created The Gathering Collection around a simple idea: what if wellness could also help make the week ahead a little easier?

We’re bringing together some of our favorite local farms, makers + community partners so you can discover what’s being grown, made + created right here — and take some of it home with you.

Sunday can be about getting ready for the week and making a little space for yourself.

Maybe you can do a little of both. 🤍
