The Purpose Hotel benefitting the Social Good 

Living life with a purpose so much deeper that you make an impact on someone’s life through everything you do – even when staying in a hotel on business or personal travel.  Instead of earning personal points, you give back to those who are less fortunate. Living with the purpose of giving, versus receiving = life-changing and soul-healing.  The Purpose Hotel features top-of-the-line products and materials that contribute to social good. All good hotels provide a retreat – a respite – for its traveler. The Purpose Hotel goes farther: it connects you to something that’s bigger. Simply put, people are the purpose. Everything in the hotel is carefully considered with how it benefits others. By backing The Purpose Hotel, you become part of a larger movement. 1 for 100 Benefit Model The goods and services that make a guest’s stay comfortable and luxurious help improve the quality of life for people around the world.

Wanderlust 108

5k + 1 hr 20 mins Yoga + 1 hr Meditation = Wanderlust 108   A ton of good food and even more classes to take – barre, aerial and acro yoga, some type of really hard on a tightrope yoga, hula hooping and more. Such a fun event! My friend Ashira met me there and thankfully took me home — I crashed hard as soon as I walked in the door. I signed up for Acro Yoga but didn’t have anyone to do acro with, and I’m not uber comfortable with touching strangers or strangers touching me. I never realized how uncomfortable I am with that until today during yoga. Totally creeped out by the guy next to me. I stopped after MC Yogi because I’m so not the group touching type person and I didn’t have anyone around me that I knew. I always hated workout classes where you have to get a partner and do things. I like to workout to be in my head and not have to interact — unless …

Wanderlust 108 Festival – The Ultimate Tri for Those Who Love MindBody Practices

Click on the picture below to join the EDS Wellness/Wellapalooza Group at Wanderlust 108 in DC on October 2nd, 2016!   What is Wanderlust 108?   “Wanderlust 108 is a field day for your mind, body and soul. Hold the plastic trophy, because we have better prizes: vibrant community, self-awareness and inner peace. Community instead of competition? You can’t beat that. “Sure, it doesn’t seem as strenuous as running a marathon, lifting several hundred pounds, or sweating through a Hatha yoga class, but walking is just as effective a workout as any other! Regular, brisk walking can help you maintain a healthy weight, prevent or manage conditions like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes, improve your balance, and boost your mood. Incorporate more walking into your day by parking at the back of the parking lot, going for an after dinner stroll with your family, or taking an extra lap around the grocery store before checking out.” Click the link below to view Wanderlust’s Facebook Event Page https://www.facebook.com/events/466449090211912/?ti=icl Learn more about Wanderlust Festivals by going to http://wanderlust.com/festivals/ You can …

Mast Cell Madness and A Yoga Retreat (YTT 15hrs)

Mast Cell Madness and A Yoga Retreat In January, I received the results from an eight-year-old colonoscopy that was stained for mast cells – the same month I started yoga instructor training with The Mindfulness Center. Despite doing what I do and the fact that I was helping Dr. Afrin publish his book, the results were not easy to accept. I felt anger & resentment, not to mention emotional and very scared. For me, mast cell issues have been a part of my life since I was a kid – I just didn’t know what “it” was. And no matter what I was or what “it” is (the EDS/MCAD/Dysautonomia/chronic illness combo), the reality is that about a year and a half ago, things dramatically changed after I got the flu shot for work. When you work in hospitals, especially in the OR, you are required to get the influenza vaccine – something I’ve done a number of times with no issues, or so I think. Three hours after I got the shot, I doubled in …
