Without a tight-knit group of people whom you can grow, learn and build with, starting or running a business can get a little dull. This is why we decided to host our first official event earlier this month (yay!). We wanted to bring together our community offline and IRL (in real life), so we partnered up with Innerride Wynwood to make it happen!
Our mission with sweat + reset: mind, body & soul was to create a space where our community of creatives and entrepreneurs can come together to cultivate mindfulness and meaningful relationships while getting a good workout in.
We started off the morning with an upbeat pilates workout led by our amazing instructor, Laura Esquea, that made everyone break a sweat. We transitioned into a vinyasa flow led by Victoria Candela followed by an activating guided meditation and sound healing session. Yes, it was as delicious as it sounds.
After our workout, Sproutz came through and provided some tasty (seriously, amazing) vegan and vegetarian bites. By the way, Sproutz will be opening up a new location in Brickell fall 2019 and we couldn’t be more excited! Party Patch offered a chlorella and mint detox drink and FITMIAMI raffled tickets to their anticipated health festival coming in early 2020. We'll mingle, connect and enjoy the post-workout high together.
What we didn’t anticipate was the category 4 hurricane that was projected to hit Miami earlier that week. Fortunately for South Florida, it missed us. However, our neighbors in the Bahamas were hit hard. So we felt it was only right to donate all of the event proceeds to the Bahamas Disaster Relief. We were able to raise $210 for Global Empowerment Mission; shout out to them for all their efforts in helping the Bahamas. Again, thank you to all the guests and sponsors who helped us make this happen.
All in all, our first event was a total success and we are still trying to process it all. We had a full house at Innerride Wynwood and couldn’t be more thankful to each and every person that participated. The best part was that everyone really seemed to resonate with the message and purpose of the event and that’s what it’s truly all about! Through resetting and aligning our mind, body, and soul, we are bringing clarity and high vibes for ourselves and our business.
