The Power of “It Depends”: My interview with Melissa Leach

Ever met someone and instantly thought, "Yup, we're destined to be yoga BFFs?" 

That's how I felt back in April 2019 when I attended the Baptiste Institute's Assisting Course in San Francisco, led by the amazing Melissa Leach!

Melissa is not only a total bad@$$ yoga teacher but also down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and highly experienced in her understanding of yoga, functional anatomy, trauma, and mental health.

During that course, she introduced me to the world of assists in teaching yoga – a game-changing approach that focuses on co-creation between student and teacher, rather than just correcting or adjusting.

Fast forward to today, and I'm thrilled to share that Melissa is joining me on this week's episode of the Luminous Recovery Yoga Podcast! 🎉

Get ready to dive into:

  • Melissa's unique approach to teaching yoga

  • The power of "it depends" when understanding the human body

  • How pain can be trauma surfacing in the body
