Standing tall in Warrior Pose never felt so peaceful. I’m not an avid yogi by any means, but with the morning sun warming my skin, the soothing sound of the waves breaking against the pristine shoreline, and the ocean breeze gently blowing through my hair, I felt completely connected in mind, body and spirit. Finding inner peace (or peace and quiet in general) is one of the most difficult things to do in a busy lifestyle. Whether you’re balancing a family and a career, a high-stress job, or stress of everyday life, one thing most people neglect doing is taking care of themselves. Had I never visited the exquisite Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa, I may have never experienced a yoga session quite like this one – where I reconnected with myself and found that peaceful state of being.
Located on the picturesque east coast of Florida, Jupiter is located approximately halfway between Cocoa Beach and Miami. Never heard of this beach town? You’re not alone – consider Jupiter one of Florida’s most precious hidden gems and home to many famous athletes and celebrities such as; Tiger Woods, Celine Dion, Michael Jordan and Olivia Newton-John.
