Listen to Noomii's interview with Melissa Berry

About Me

My name is Melissa, now in my lovely 30s. Mother of one, fiancé with a full time job. I know family life all too well.

I was not always flexible, I couldn't touch my feet 7 years ago. I was not in shape, couldn't run 2 mins without being winded. I started at the beginning in my mid 20s. Didn't know how to really cook for myself, I just had a passion to learn and a dream.

I told myself, I would run a Marathon by my 30th birthday.

Yoga has not been part of my life for that long, I started practicing 7 years ago a few times a month, picked it up again on a daily basis to be more active after my daughter was born 6 years ago.

Yoga was always an option at home to rebuild my body after the pregnancy and build my confidence and strength that I did not have in the first place.

As I started running and training for my marathon, yoga was my go to option on recovery days and after runs for stretching. Now training for a triathlon, I know the importance of mobility, flexibility and strength.

After stressful life events and higher level of anxieties, yoga and meditation just became a part of my life on a regular basis. Discovering the mental health aspect more and more.

Now being a certified yoga teacher, I learn about the benefits of slower pace yoga, yin yoga and pelvic health yoga I want to share this knowledge with you!
