The Power of Prana | Breath-Workshop
Breath is life. Integrate yourself and experience the power of prana. Prana is the Sanskrit word for breath, meaning life force. Breathing comes naturally and without thought; imagine being conscious of your breath and learning the tools necessary to strengthen and awaken to your potential.
Throughout this workshop, you will learn new breathing techniques, their benefits, and when to use them. Whether you’re looking to improve your stamina on the course or court, master your swing, increase energy levels, or drift with ease into a deep restful sleep, this workshop is for you.

Shannon Harkey: Shannon has been coming to the island since she was two-years-old with some of her greatest childhood memories made here at Seabrook. She has landed back on the island to be closer to family, as she delivers triplets and raises her soon-to-be four children.
Shannon is a division one collegiate athlete; having played at the University of Florida and finishing her career at the University of Maryland Baltimore County where she graduated with a major in media and communication and minor in entrepreneurship. She immediately gravitated to the entrepreneurial side of her education and began a business known as Being You Yoga. Shannon has been a student of the practice for twenty-years and a teacher for ten. Working with special needs children and adults to young athletes all the way up to the collegiate level, having taught in retirement communities, chair yoga to mediation. Shannon received her 500hr YTT from deep in the jungle of Costa Rica at Pavones Yoga Center, specializing in breath-work, conscious movement, yin and yoga Nidra. She’s excited to meet you on the mat.

The Amenities and Activities Committee thanks Seabrook Island Property Owners, their family members and guests, and the Lake House staff for all their help with the July 4th parade.
The parade continues to grow in excitement and length. The number of early registrants (bikes, LSVs, cars) was our largest ever at 132. The Lake House staff appreciates all who preregister because that helps determine the best setup for parade day.
This year we made two changes: one due to the length of the parade and one in response to Property Owners’ requests from 2024. We have simply outgrown the customary line up area, so the dry section now lines up on the Lake House lawn and the water party section on Seabrook Island Road by the Village at Seabrook. We also set up a dry viewing area on the Lake House front lawn by the volleyball net for those spectators who wanted to watch the parade in dry space. A small, but happy crowd gathered there.
Once again, a huge THANK YOU goes to all the spectators who respected and honored the dry section that led the parade. This year we had over 100 bicycles, LSVs, and cars that just celebrated the 4th with flags, lots of decorations, streamers, cheers, and music.
The St. John’s Fire District Station 2 fire truck that announces the water party made it all the way to the Haulover before the team was called out on a run and had to temporarily leave the parade. However, in true Seabrook Island style, those just behind the fire truck did not miss a beat. They loudly announced they were “The Water Party” and the fun began.
We owe special thanks to SIPOA security and CERT volunteers who assisted with parade route management. It was a team effort. Thank you to all involved.
Planning for the 2026 parade is already underway!

This summer, SIPOA has brought in two interns to help investigate the condition of the roads on Seabrook Island.
Mia Honeyman is a Marine Science major from the University of South Carolina. She is pursuing her masters degree in Natural Resource Management with a focus on coastal management and coastal resilience.
Rashid Al-Washahi is a Civil Engineering graduate at Clemson University who got his undergraduate Civil Engineering degree from Arizona State University.
Their complementary skill sets will be utilized to update the Seabrook Island Asphalt Management Plan. Further details on the results of their study will be provided in August.
If you see them on the island doing field work, please help welcome them to Seabrook Island!
