Today, June 21st, is International Yoga Day. A day to celebrate the gifts and lessons that this beautiful practice gives us, as well as all those who practice. Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice that is so beneficial to one’s mind, body, and soul.
I began my own yoga journey just a couple months ago and already am reaping the many benefits. I feel more empowered, confident, stronger, and happier. Yoga is not about flexibility or strength, but rather passion and dedication.
One of my biggest yoga inspirations is my dear friend Mackenna Atherall . A licensed yoga teacher and a social work graduate, Mackenna is dedicated to helping others through yoga and positive thinking. To share her passions about yoga, healthy living, and happiness, Mackenna created The Wellness Wave.
The Wellness Wave is a platform for people to connect and share the importance of health, wellbeing, and creating a life that you love. “My main goal is to help people (especially young women) feel empowered to take charge of their well being and own their power! Focusing less on being perfect and having the most followers on Instagram and more on LIVING. Less on being skinny and more on eating real whole foods. Having less anxiety and more trust that the universe has your back.”
Mackenna even plans to host fun personal development events and workshops around the New York and New Jersey area. Follow @thewellness_wave to keep up with Mackenna and to start your own healthy and happy journey!
