BEACH BUDHI BODY

Hello! You’re probably wondering who Beach Budhi Body is? – well let me explain firstly how the name derived! Over 10 years ago I was fortunate enough to win a trip of a lifetime to Nepal to do some volunteer work at Annapurna Self Sustaining Orphan home. Just before I found out I won, I met my boyfriend and he decided he wanted to come with me on this special trip – and so off we went! When we got there the organisers of the home pointed to us and asked ‘you are Budha?’ (to my boyfriend) ‘and you are Budhi?’ (to me). With great confusion we asked ‘Ah, what do you mean?’ and they said, ‘husband and wife?’ And we were like ‘Oh no! We just met!’ However, they continued and insisted we were called Budha and Budhi whilst there! We are still together now and so ever since my partner calls me Budhi and I call him Budha – to this day! And Beach because I live and teach Nia near the beach – and love it!

Otherwise, my name is Melinda, I am a certified Nia Blue Belt and Nia 5 Stages Instructor since 2014. I have a passion for movement dance, PIlates and wellness and enjoy a way of life that always nourishes the mind, body and soul. I wish to share the knowledge and wisdom I have to encourage dancing and movement in your body’s way!

I also have trained professionally as an Actor, I have an extensive performing arts background and have worked in the Entertainment Industry for over 20 years with a wide variety of skills and experience. My passion to entertain means I love to get creative and support like-minded souls to enjoy expressing their true self and in a sustainable, supportive way.

Watch this space fore more movement and wellness for your body.

Join me and let’s get moving!
