Essence Festival Attendees Found Their Zen At The First-Ever Wellness House

If health is wealth, this two-day experience was the crown jewel of Essence Festival 2019.
Essence Festival Attendees Found Their Zen At The First-Ever Wellness House
By Jasmine Grant · Updated December 6, 2020

For the first time ever, Essence Fest 2019 launched Wellness House, a curated experience designed to relax your body, refresh your mind and rejuvenate your spirit in a serene space full of positive vibes.

Held at the Lighthouse Glass Gallery, a mile away from the convention center’s buzzy crowds, Wellness House served as a zen getaway for festivalgoers to get right – mind, body, and soul. Celebrity trainers Nicole Chaplin and DaShan Johnson got their classes fired up with muscle-sculpting workouts while Trap Yoga Bae and Jetset Pilates got us flexing and finessing. Melanie Fiona dropped some gems about how to manage our health and spiritual healing. And let’s not forget Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker giving us the full download on their new fitness app “Kofit.”

Article continues after video.

The fun workout sessions and panels weren’t the only things poppin’ at Wellness House. Get into the spa treatments, CBD oil sampling and more in the gallery below.
