We were thrilled to host the first Bronx Wellness Pop-up Shop on March 18th, which was more than just an event; it was a celebration of community, wellness, and art. We held the event both indoors and outdoors to offer a safe and open space for connecting, shopping, healing, and socializing. One of the most significant aspects of the event was the diverse range of local artists and vendors and their unique products.

We were honored to have amazing vendors such as Femi Photos with Wellness Photographs from all over the world , Tu Mama Vintage with colorful thrift-wear clothing from New York, Portugal and Mexico, and A Marie, who showcased hand-made greeting cards, art and loc jewelry. Attendees had a fantastic range of fashionable thrift wear, handmade greeting cards and accessories, crystals, candles, photographs, and more to choose from. The quality of the vendors' work was truly impressive and reflected the passion and dedication of small businesses in The Bronx.

Laughter meditation is a form of meditation that combines breathing exercises and laughter to promote a sense of well-being, joy, and relaxation. This type of meditation is also known as laughing yoga or laughter therapy, and it has become increasingly popular in recent years. Laughter meditation is an inner experience. When we laugh we are totally free. We can’t be in the past laughing, or in the future. Laughing brings us to the present moment. Laughter meditation is a cost-effective healing tool used to transform the present moment into child-like playfulness while honoring your inner child. Laughter meditation is strong preventative medicine and has a profound effect on the mind, body and spirit.

Did you know children can laugh up to 400 times a day, versus adults who laugh 15 times a day?

During a laughter meditation session, participants engage in laughter exercises that involve deep breathing, physical movements, and vocalizations. These exercises are designed to trigger laughter and create a positive, relaxed state of mind.
