Yoga Lifestyle with Melissa

This vlog is one of my favourite kinds of days around Victoria. An easy coastal walk at Aylard Farm with a big scenic payoff, followed by Korean food at Persimmon Tree in Langford. Fresh air, ocean views, and a super yummy Korean food. My favourite.
If you are looking for what to do in Victoria BC the full vlog is up now.

Sleep doesn’t start at bedtime.

It starts with how we slow down long before that.

https://youtu.be/t_j5Yecc6PM


I just shared a video walking through how I actually spend my evenings from 5–9 pm and what has helped me fall asleep and stay asleep more consistently. It’s about ritual, timing, light, yin yoga,, and giving my nervous system clear signals that the day is winding down.


I also talk about tools that have supported my sleep, including the Zenowell vagus nerve stimulator.

New video this week is a special Vlogmas style vlog.

If you enjoy the quieter lifestyle videos I share, this one brings you along on a December day here in Victoria BC. We stop at a few shops, make Chick fil A at home, go skating, and visit the gingerbread house competition at the Hotel Grand Pacific. It is one of my favourite local Christmas events.

Yoga Lifestyle with Melissa

I just uploaded a new vlog where I reset my yoga space and redesigned the room so it actually supports how I practice in the evenings. Clearing clutter, choosing what matters, and creating a calmer environment changed the energy completely.
If this kind of reset feels inspiring, our membership has several guided yoga resets in the video library that explore how environment shapes practice. They are a great companion if you are wanting to refresh your own space and reconnect with intention.

In the vlog I also share how I use my book Five Element Yin Yoga to choose poses and support my evening yin practice. Many of my students keep it beside their mat for grounding and inspiration.

✨ New VLOG! ✨

A comment on my last video asked: “10+ years ago I heal?!”


It made me realize how deeply our culture pushes the idea that healing should be fast, linear, and final.


In this new video, I share:
🌱 Why nervous system healing is spiralic and ongoing
🌱 What helped me 10+ years ago vs. what supports me now
🌱 How tools like yoga, vagus nerve stimulation, and boundaries continue to refine my regulation


🎥 Watch here: https://youtu.be/HwAWLXzBgjc


How do you experience your own healing journey, more linear or more cyclical?

Thank you so much for all the kind words and thoughtful comments on my last vlog. It really meant a lot to me to know how much it resonated with you.

This week, I decided to document a month without social media and share what I learned from it. Our membership community did a Digital Detox together in October, and this vlog captures some of the insights that came from that time.

Watch the vlog here: https://youtu.be/WEa0s7ugR04

If you’d like to join me for future challenges like this, we’re always experimenting with ways to support nervous system regulation, creativity, and presence.

*New Video* how I actually regulate my nervous system daily 💛

After seven migraines in nine days, my system went through full shutdown, through activation and back to regulation. I decided to film what it really looks like to regulate in real life. This is how I actually regulate my nervous system.

This is also my first long form vlog that I completely filmed and edited myself! It’s been so much fun experimenting with this style, and I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

💡 I didn’t think anything could replace my JOVS 4D Laser, but the INIA Glow Wireless LED Mask is changing my mind.
✨ Wireless design = so much easier to use
✨ Purple mode (blue + red + NIR) = wrinkles, fine lines + acne at the same time
✨ Price = one of the best affordable red light therapy masks I’ve seen in 2025
If you’ve been waiting for a budget-friendly red light therapy mask that delivers real results, this is the one to look at.

Yoga Lifestyle with Melissa

For over a decade I lived in dorsal shutdown, disconnected and frozen. Over time, I slowly thawed with restorative yoga, yin yoga, and yoga nidra. Then I moved into sympathetic activation, facing and healing the fight/anger that came up.
In my new video, I’m sharing how I healed my nervous system, how the vagus nerve works, and what it really takes to regulate the nervous system over the long term.
