Melody Lin Flow Awareness

Bigger sound. Less shoulder tension.

If your shoulders get sore when holding the flute, your arms might be doing more work than they need to.

In this short reset, you’ll teach your body where the real support comes from 👇

✨ Gently roll your pelvis forward and back
✨ Let your spine respond—arching and rounding with ease
✨ Then bring the flute up and allow its weight to travel down through your spine into your pelvis

When your back and shoulders work together, your arms can soften…
and your sound becomes fuller, more resonant, and free.

This is a simple shift—but it can change everything.

Save this for your warm-up routine, or share it with a young flutist who’s been struggling with sore shoulders 💛

Arched back? Shallow breath?

Try this simple Feldenkrais exercise to enhance your breathing, creating more spaces between your ribs and allow the breath to flow through you freely.

Let me know in the comments how you feel 😊

When was the last time you said “I love you” to yourself? 💗

I grew up surrounded by constant criticism and perfectionism — "love" often came with conditions. I had to be better, do more, achieve more... to feel worthy of love, to feel that I need to be enough to deserve love.

But not anymore.

As I gently release old traumas and rewrite the stories I was told, self-love is no longer a reward — it's my daily practice. My healing. My homecoming. 🌸

So here's a love note to self:
✨ I love my freckles, wrinkles, and silver strands. ✨ I love the parts of me that are healing, and the ones still learning.
✨ I love the kaleidoscope of colours, shadows, and light that make me uniquely me.

💌 Take a moment today and tell yourself, “I love you.”

You deserve it — as you are, right now.

Drop a ♥️ in the comments to share the love.

👋 Meet my study buddy – always ready to lend a hand (or a humerus 😉).

As a Feldenkrais practitioner, I spend a lot of time exploring how our bones, joints, muscles and nervous system work together to create effortless, joyful movement. This lovely skeletal friend helps me understand—and teach—how awareness can transform the way we sit, stand, breathe, and live in our bodies.

Movement isn’t just mechanical—it’s magical when we tune in. 💫
Let’s learn to move with more ease, less strain, and a whole lot more curiosity.

✨ Want to feel more aligned and at home in your body?
DM me for 1:1 in-person Feldenkrais session or check out my upcoming Feldenkrais classes—your skeleton will thank you. 😉

Powerful, captivating and memorable Verdi Requiem with Maestro Uwe Grodd, Auckland Choral, Auckland Chamber Choir and the Pipers Sinfonia. Especially enjoyed playing with a fabulous flute section, Marlene Verwey and Ajay Iyenjar. 🤩

2025 is the year '9' in numerology, a year of completion and transformation.

I'm definitely feeling the shift in this energy from Dec 2024 already.

Madly completing projects and tasks that I procrastinated for too long. Another huge decluttering and clean up in my work studios and the house. Running around all day for everything and everyone.

Permission to pause. ✋️

A moment on the grass, grounding, allowing my energy to connect with Mother Earth is just the perfect recharge. ☀️

When we are in the 'doing' mode, we give so much all the time and often don't notice that we are already depleted until it's too late. Remember to find moments during the day to refill and recharge.

Self-care is not selfish.
Self-care is not a luxury.

Self-care is the ultimate love for everyone because you can serve with your battery full.

What is your favorite way to recharge your battery? I love to hear what works for you. Drop in the comments below
