World Wellness Weekend Recap!

I can not believe that World Wellness Week is already over! I have been co-hosting this event in collaboration with the Edgewater Beach Hotel for four years now, and this was definitely our biggest and best World Wellness Weekend yet! We had 45 yogis sign up for the event, and although a few couldn’t make it last minute we still had an incredible turnout!!

This weekend is always so special because communities all over the world come together to offer free wellness events and classes to their communities. I just love this!

This year I led a 75-minute beach yoga class and a guided meditation, and Edgewater Beach Hotel served up green smoothies after class!

Our next big collaborative event is in January for Paradise Coast Wellness Weekend, and we have some incredible things lined up for all of you! Details coming soon.

Guided Pranayama Meditation

In the dictionary, pranayama simply means the regulation of the breath through certain techniques and exercises. 

Prana = breath or vital energy

Ayama = control

Pranayama, or breath control, was first mentioned in yoga literature as a breathing practice around 700 BCE. 

Pranayama has many benefits for both our physical body and our mind. This breathing practice has been known to decrease stress, lower tension and anxiety while relaxing the mind. Pranayama has also been known to help lower blood pressure and restore elasticity of the lungs, great for those with breathing conditions such as asthma. This type of breathing practice induces a meditative state and quiets the mind, allowing for healing and true peace to take place.
