Twenty-eight guests were invited to discover the destination’s wellness-driven spirit at an exclusive sunrise yoga session atop the iconic 86th Floor Observatory.
The Belize Tourism Board (BTB), in partnership with the iconic Empire State Building, celebrated National Wellness Month with an intimate sunrise, skyline yoga session on the building’s world-famous 86th Floor Observatory. Designed to inspire visitors to seek respite and relaxation in Belize, 28 golden hour enthusiasts enjoyed a private Maya-inspired salutation, complete with mindful breath, stretches and words of affirmation.
Bringing their panache, colourful history and unparalleled hospitality to New York City, seven lucky participants received multi-night hotel stays in Belize at renowned properties, including Naia Resort & Spa, Victoria House Resort & Spa, Ramon’s Village Resort, Table Rock Jungle Lodge, Belize Boutique Resort & Spa, the Placencia Resort and Ka’ana Boutique Resort. In addition to accommodations, in-country transportation was also supplied via Tropic Air and Belize Tourism Board for winning attendees.
“On behalf of Belize Tourism Board, a thriving destination of culture, diversity and wellness, we are honoured to celebrate and recognize National Wellness Month with the Empire State Building,” said Mr. Evan Tillett, Director of Tourism.
Designed to replicate the lush terrain of Belize, yogis also enjoyed custom backdrops of the country’s healing landscape, tropical greenery, and authentic Caribbean music. Two Belizean instructors, Michelle Williams and Ryanna Schnarr, educated attendees on the history of yoga in Belize and ancient Maya practices that have influenced the cultural art form.
