✨ A weekend full of gratitude, connection and a little magic!✨

Wow, what an incredible few days at the OM Yoga Show in London! 💕

I’m still smiling, reflecting on all the beautiful people, conversations, laughter and moments shared over the weekend.

To everyone who stopped by my Yutorizen stand — thank you! It meant so much to share a collection that is incredibly close to my heart, filled with beautiful artisan creations, stories and traditions from places that have touched my soul.

And then there was the yoga... 🧘‍♀️

What an absolute privilege to step onto the mat and share my love of yoga with so many beautiful souls.

For me, teaching has always been about so much more than movement. It’s about connection, creating space to explore, breathe, challenge ourselves, perhaps wobble a little, laugh together and simply enjoy being present.

To everyone who joined me on the mat, thank you for your energy, your openness and for sharing your practice with me. You made every moment so special.

To be able to bring these two passions together in one wonderful weekend was something I’ll treasure.

Feeling incredibly grateful, inspired and excited for everything still to come.

From my heart to yours, thank you. With love,
Melissa x

In this moment of find myself grappling with the pain of loss while cherishing the joy of the precious time I have spent with mum these last 4 years in the UK. Memories I will forever hold in my heart.

Mum passed peacefully in her sleep in the early hours of June 1st, just as she always said she wanted. She was one of the most caring and lovable people. Her warmth and laughter brightened our lives, and her kindness knew no limits. Loved dearly by all my friends, she was the most positive and upbeat person, known for her wonderful sense of humour and her kindness to everyone she encountered.

As a devoted mum to me, Melissa, a cherished Nana to Jodi and Kadin, and a great-old Nana to Skyla, Coco, and Mayu—fondly known as Nansy or Old Nana—she created a legacy of love that will always be a part of us.

Yesterday, I had the precious opportunity to sit with her, alongside with Jodi on video, as we said our goodbyes. She looked so peaceful; it was truly a beautiful moment to be able to honour her quietly, share memories and tell her how much we love her. 💔

Mum’s love for animals, especially her cats, was a testament to her compassionate spirit. Her last cat, Dave, already holds a special place in our hearts, and he will be staying with us, a reminder of her gentle love.

As I reflect on her passing, I’ve noticed little robin redbreast stickers everywhere, a tea towel adorned with robins, and even a cup featuring one. I truly believe this is a sign—a reminder that Mum is watching over us. As you soar with the eagles, Mum, I will keep an eye out for robins, knowing they carry your spirit close to us.
Though you may no longer be here with us, your essence will remain in our hearts, reminding us to cherish each day with gratitude and love. Thank you for every beautiful moment, every lesson, and for being the incredible person you were. You will be deeply missed, yet always remembered. I love you mum. 💖❤️💜❤️💔forever in our hearts.

What a whirlwind adventure it’s been! 🌍✨

After two incredible months in India, where chaos reigned supreme— constant honking, roaming goats, cows, and the mesmerizing spiritual vibe mixed with stark poverty—we’ve now settled into the serene embrace of Thailand for the past couple of weeks. The contrast is striking!

**India vs. Thailand: A Tale of Two Worlds**
- **India**: A symphony of sounds and colors, bustling streets filled with energy, and spirituality around every corner.
- **Thailand**: A breath of fresh air with its peaceful, clean, and organized environment—no honking here!

Our journey through Thailand has been nothing short of magical. From the beaches of Phuket to the tranquil vibes of Koh Jum, each day has brought new adventures. We’ve hopped on day trips to stunning islands, explored Krabi town, and soaked in the vibrant energy of Bangkok.

Living in Thailand sounds tempting! The beautiful beaches, perfect weather, affordable living costs, and of course, the delicious Thai cuisine (and even good coffee here? ☕️) make it hard to leave. Plus, experiencing Thai New Year was an unforgettable highlight—what a celebration! 🎉

As we pack our bags for Cambodia, we can’t help but wonder what new experiences await us! 🌏✈️ by @melissa_murtagh

What an incredible week at the International Yoga Festival 2026 at Parmath Niketan Ashram! 🌟 From the moment we arrived, the energy was palpable, filled with souls from around the world united by the transformative power of yoga in all its forms.

The festival beautifully embodies the essence of the Eight Limbs of Yoga, guiding us toward self-realization and spiritual awakening. We participated in a range of practices led by inspiring teachers who encouraged us to explore and deepen our understanding.

Highlights included the calming sound baths, sacred dips in the Ganges for rejuvenation, and powerful fire ceremonies where we shared our intentions. And let’s not forget the playful moments posing in the gardens, surrounded by nature’s beauty!

The special prayer for world peace at the Beatles Ashram was a poignant reminder of our shared humanity and the strength found in unity.

As we wrap up this unforgettable experience, there’s a bittersweet feeling leaving this magical place. The friendships formed and lessons learned will stay with us long after we go. Thank you, Parmath Niketan, and to all the incredible souls who made this festival so special. Let’s carry this spirit of yoga and love into our daily lives! 🧘‍♀️❤️

Stay tuned for more insights as we continue this journey!#parmathniketan #wellness #yogaforeveryone #rishikesh by @melissa_murtagh

🚂✨ Rishikesh! it felt amazing to return to my old yoga school where I completed my 500-hour training. Meeting up with Sandeep ji was truly special, reminding me of the two transformative months I spent here.

After settling in, we wandered down to the banks of the Ganges, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of the shops and markets. Being back at the river and feeling her energy was simply incredible. We enjoyed an early dinner with a breathtaking view of the Ganges—what a perfect start to our adventure!

On day two, we met up with Julia and Jane for a delightful two-hour cooking course with Nandina in her lovely home. We learned so much about local cuisine, and the food was absolutely delicious!

Feeling grateful for these experiences and the beautiful moments shared. 🌊#wellness #yogaforeveryone #rishikesh❤️ #yogacommunity #yutorizen taken in Rishikesh Uttrakhand by @melissa_murtagh

🌍✨ **One Month in Incredible India!** ✨🌍

Time flies when you’re soaking in the magic of this beautiful country! 🇮🇳 From the tranquil vibes of an Ayurvedic resort and the serene Kerala backwaters to the vibrant streets of Fort Kochi and the spiritual energy of Mysore for Ashtanga yoga, this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary! 🙏🧘‍♀️

🏰✨ Exploring the magnificent palaces and temples in Hampi was like stepping into a storybook. And oh, the bliss of a week in Goa’s Palolem—sunshine, yoga, paddling, and those breathtaking sunsets! 🌅🌊

Mumbai’s bustling energy took me from the slums to the iconic Colaba, with a poignant visit to Gandhi’s house. Then, off to Udaipur for romance, stunning sunsets, and lakeside views that leave you breathless. 💖🏞️

And how could I forget the colorful charm of Jaipur? So many memories packed into just one month, with countless adventures still ahead! 🎉

Cheers to the beauty of exploration and the joy of creating unforgettable experiences! 🥳💫
