BEACH BUDHI BODY
Hello! You’re probably wondering who / what is Beach Budhi Body? – 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 do some volunteer work in Nepal 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 orphan home pointed to us and asked ‘you are Budha?’ (to my boyfriend) ‘and you are Budhi?’ (to me). With great confusion we asked ‘Um sorry, please explain?’ and they said, ‘husband and wife?’ And we were like ‘Oh no! We just met!’ However, they continued and insisted to name us Budha and Budhi whilst we were there! So we started calling each other that for fun. We are still together now and so ever since that moment, my partner calls me Budhi and I call him Budha – to this day! And because I live near, teach and love the Beach I dreamed up my name as this ‘Beach Budhi’ and ‘Body’ as I share my movement for wellness and health.
Otherwise, my name is Melinda, I am a Movement Facilitator and Performer. I have a passion for Movement, Expression, Dance, Pilates and overall wholistic health and wellness. I enjoy a way of life that always nourishes the mind, body and soul with spirit. I wish to share the knowledge and wisdom I have, to encourage dancing and movement in your body’s and to follow your unique way.
Amongst other things, I have trained professionally as an Actor/ Performer and a Certified Nia Technique Instructor & Mat Pilates Instructor. 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. Performance for me is not about ‘performing’ or ‘how I look or how it looks’ but more about having the space to express, tell a story that is meaningful, insightful, and expands growth in not only myself but with others. Connection and Community are important.
So if you would like to join me, take a wonder through my website and see what’s on offer. I hope to meet, dance, move with you.
Contact me and let’s feel inspired!
