A couple of weeks ago we hosted the 3rd silent retreat in Bocas del Toro at the beautiful Sanctuary of and it was a profound and magical time for all 🌿✨️❤️

This was the 5th silent retreat I guide - the 1st 7 day retreat and I feel so honoured and grateful for the opportunity to offer these spaces where we can cultivate our relationship to Self and reveal the peace and love that we are 🕯🙏🏽✨️

I am especially grateful for the beautiful souls who join me on these magical inner journeys. It takes a little courage but it is so deeply rewarding 🌱 Thank you all so much ❤️

Deep gratitude to my jungle mama Lourdes for letting me host the retreat in her absence and to Estelina for the delicious meals, Damian for taking care of the land and Martina for keeping it clean.

Endless gratitude to my beloved teacher and all enlightened masters who guide us on this path towards Love and to the Spiritual Heart for the grace ✨️🕊

The next silent retreat will be 3 days in the UK 1st-5th October at another of my favourite places .croft.farm.escape - Early bird ends 30th June

The next retreat in Panama will be 4-7 days next May. Please reach out if you would like more information.

"Breath Body Earth is having a baby!!!"
A few days ago I said to our beloved founder, my best friend, "I feel like BBE is having a baby" and she said 'we are!' Hehe!
In many ways it feels this way and I'm so grateful for it.
Rachael and I have been friends for 10 years and we have supported each other through many life events, but this is without a doubt the most special of them all yet.

Witnessing Rachael carry life for the past 9 months has been beautiful, though I know it hasn't always been easy.
I'm so excited to be an auntie and I love this little being so much already.
In case you are wondering, though We are having a baby, only Rachael will be taking maternity leave hehe!

Meanwhile we will continue with our annual 200hr YTT in Guatemala, the last one at as the centre is transforming into a Goddess Temple guided by .is.ayala 🌹✨️ -which is very exciting!

If you want to experience the 3 week immersion there now is the time. and I, will be co-guiding it.

If you missed Rachael's last Trauma Informed Training it will soon be available for only £99. I cannot recommend this enough for all yoga teachers and space holders.

Rachael will be off social media for now but you can send her Love and blessings for the arrival of this precious soul personally or in the comments and she will receive them all 🙏🏽❤️

With Love,
Melissa

"Sometimes a teacher, always a student"
This is our ethos as yoga teachers and from it comes our commitment to continue to study and evolve as we walk this path and live this beautiful dharma of teaching.
Over the past 10 years since we graduated from our 200hr YTT we have spent hours taking trainings, online programs, classes, workshops and retreats and we are grateful for every teacher and every opportunity to continue to learn and deepen our understanding of Yoga and most importantly our relationship to Self ❤️
This past March, I (Melissa) completed The Module 1 intensive Hatha Yoga & Meditation program at Hridaya in Mazunte, Mexico and it was wonderful 🙏🏽😁
I loved being a student, practicing Hatha yoga 3-4hr every day, which I hadn't done since our 200hr YTT with Rachael 10 years ago.

I never fell out of yoga but I feel I fell in Love with Yoga all over again. I also feel my relationship to my physical and subtle body has deepened in a beautiful way.
If you would like to read more about it you can read my latest blog article on my blog yogibee.live

As I write this our beloved facilitator is taking a yoga for scoliosis course, meanwhile is continuing her 3 year studies as a Somatic Therapist and went back to University to study psychotherapy.

With Love, deep gratitude and reverence for Yoga, the teachings, the teachers and the Spiritual Heart - Brahman

Hello facebook community!

Some of you may remember a decade ago when I started Breath Body Earth it was a blog where I used to write down many of my thoughts as I was reorganising my sense of self through somatic practices, dance, and yoga.

10 years later and this journey has led me to running yoga trainings, and work 1:1 with clients offering somatic and embodiment coaching sessions.

I have written my first blog in a LONG time to answer a question I get asked often; "What is somatic and embodiment coaching?"

In the blog I answer what somatics and embodiment is, why we need it, and why I believe reconnecting to the body is the missing piece in the healing journey.

"The reason I am part of this growing movement of somatic and embodiment work is because I truly believe the way back to wholeness is through the body.

Through my own journey, and the journeys of many others, I have seen the evidence of how this process works. The body is the connecting place of our consciousnesses, it is the bridge between the physical world of matter and the world of spirit. There is a deep wisdom within that only requires that we remember how to listen.

When we are connected to ourselves and feel that innate wholeness, we have a profound sense of safety and belonging, and when there is safety and belonging, true healing can begin. "

As always, I would love to hear your thoughts

Hello Beloved Community,

I hope you are all well ❤

Today I share with you an excerpt from my most recent blog article: 5 Reasons to do a Yoga Teacher Training.

"Starting each day with intention and practices that regulate the nervous system can be life-changing in today’s fast-paced world. We are deeply grateful when our alumni share how this experience has profoundly improved their lives. It’s not about us—it’s about the power of the practice, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to share it with others who, in turn, share it with their communities."

“Unforgettable, rich, sweet and moving experience. Lots of time for guided meditation, respectful hatha yoga, spiritual words and in an ideal natural setting.” Stephanie

“The three-day silent meditation retreat offered by Melissa is so transformative. Lectures span across spiritual traditions, meditations allow for an expanded practice and the location was so serene. Highly, highly recommend exploring your inner world through Melissa's lens.” Angela

“We recently came out of a 3 day silent retreat with Breath Body Earth in Panama and everything was perfectly organized and in every way possible, the experience was more than perfect. Not only did we learn and practise a lot, we also had a total digital detox and time for love for our body, soul and mind. Melissa went out of her way to let us have the very best possible experience. I will join an extended retreat whenever i can ❤”

These are just a few of the kind reviews we received for the recent 3 day silent retreat hosted at the magical Solarte Eco Lodge, where we will be guiding a 300 hour 28th Feb to 28th March 2025. We only have 4 spaces left for the 300 hour so please get in touch if you would like to join us. The only requirement is that you have completed a 200 hour.
We will also be offering a 3-6 day silent retreat next year in April.
