According to her, 'Bu-Do-Kon is the way of the warrior spirit.'
'Find the way in all your actions. Let this be your purpose,' she advises her followers.
'I have rejected all feminine qualities and the mother archetype.
'I have miss-credited the feminine as inferior, weaker, dependent and powerless.
'I was driven by the self-destructive need of approval and validation.
'Now I am healing. Now I can see. Now I am listening.
'Now I am integrating in the unity of opposites of feminine and masculine. This is our heroine‘s journey, sisters,' she writes.
For Mel, Budokon yoga is that constant dance between fight and surrender, courage and wisdom, rise and fall, masculine and feminine, yoga and martial arts.

'I started exploring free form movement early last year and it sparked my passion for self expression and creativity in a new unexpected way.
'I love the complexity of it as it challenges my brain, I love the freedom in it as it allows for endless possibilities,' she captioned this pic.
Strong is the new sexy!
She was introduced to this form of yoga by none other than Cameron Shayne, the man who developed Budoken Yoga.
