Episode Description
This week I’m talking to Melissa Campbell.
Melissa is based in and around Luton offering classes that fuse together mindful movement influenced by yoga, somatics, and qigong. She also teaches mudra-based meditation, mindfulness, self-care journaling, and culinary nutrition offering her clients a holistic approach for self-care and women’s wellness.
Melissa, like many of us, has taken this period of enforced slowing down to take stock and focus on what she wants her business to look like going forward. So, we’ll be talking about that as well as how she has been getting on teaching online and what she’s been doing with the extra time she has had on her hands since reducing her teaching hours. Like many of us, Melissa had previously taught yoga at gyms, studios and community halls but as the work dried up she consolidated and focused on retaining her regular client base through online classes and membership offerings.
As restrictions are starting to ease, we’ll consider what the next couple of months might look like and how we can help more people to enjoy yoga. I also want to take some time to discuss whether Melissa has experienced any racism, either as a student or a teacher and what her thoughts are regarding diversity in yoga.
I know I say this about all of my guests (or at least if I don’t say it out loud I think it!), Melissa is a very kind soul and a good friend. I really hope you enjoy listening to our conversation.
Melissa’s shared a few of her favourite Savasana Sounds:
Benjy Wertheimer - Saraswati Ma
East Forest (artist)
Garth Stevenson (also recommended by Christine Blair (Episode 6)
Beautiful Charm - Faith Hymn

Nicole De Leon: Podcast Host and Fired up Soul Mamma
In a world where so many women have shed past notions of what being a mom looks like, who can listeners turn to for real talk on soulful motherhood? Through this weekly podcast, host, Nicole De Leon, a long-time surfer, teacher, yoga instructor, adventurer and now new mother, seeks to candidly talk about the realities of modern motherhood, especially as it affects the pursuit of one’s own interests while remaining a soulful parent. In this podcast, guest moms will share inspiring stories of how they persisted in living out their truest passions and purpose in spite of – and often as a result of – adversity and struggle. Nicole’s hope is that through this podcast mothers will be encouraged to believe in their dreams and prioritize joyful lives in order to teach their children to do the same.

Ahimsa is one of the yoga Yamas and means non-violence towards all beings. The Ahimsa Choice Podcast lives at the intersection of wellness and sustainability. This podcast is made for women who want to live a life that is sustainable for both ourselves and the world around us.

My goal is to empower women to find peace through meditation and wellness practices and to lead the change to a slow, environmentally focused lifestyle. I'll chat with the women leading the wellness and sustainability movements from business owners to physicians to provide you with all the tools you need to live your most fulfilling, joyful life without leaving a footprint!
The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast
Shannon Crow (she/her)
The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast is a place where yoga teachers can tune in each week to learn, connect with community and gain inspiration. After a yoga teacher training it can feel like being left out in the wilderness for yoga teacher entrepreneurs. The business side of yoga is often not talked about as much as philosophy, anatomy and other topics covered in a yoga teacher training. This podcast addresses the questions and challenges that yoga teachers face. Hear interviews with yoga teachers and other professionals on a variety of topics.
