Who is Meddy Teddy?

A LOVABLE, BENDABLE, MEDITATING YOGA BEAR THAT INSPIRES YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE. HERE'S HOW MEDDY TEDDY WORKS HIS MAGIC:

1. MEDDY MAKES YOU SMILE AND NATURALLY BOOSTS YOUR MOOD.

When you see Meddy's smiling face, you can't help but smile too. And smiling is so important! The more you smile the happier you are.  That might sound a bit strange but science proves it's true. Smiling releases endorphins, other natural painkillers, and serotonin. These brain chemicals make us feel good from head to toe. 

Yes, even forcing a smile can still bring you a boost in your mood and happiness level.  Having Meddy Teddy around will not only make you smile when you see him, but he serves as a gentle reminder to smile more often.

It's like a way to  receive love whenever he catches our eye." - Ingrid E.

3. MEDDY REMINDS YOU TO MEDITATE.

Did you notice Meddy's eyes are closed? They're that way for a reason! Meddy is made with his eyes closed to remind you that your power is within. Close your eyes, relax, and re-center yourself.

Spending the time to meditate and be mindful in the hustle and bustle of your busy life can be difficult. Meddy serves as a gentle, happy reminder that the sense of peace and calm you desire is only moments away when you grab your Meddy and meddytate.

4. MEDDY ENCOURAGES YOU TO BE PRESENT EVEN IN THE CHAOS OF A BUSY LIFE.

Meddy is such a calming force to have around you. While putting him in your favorite pose, you'll remember to be present in the moment. Whether you are busy with work, kids, or something else . . . we could all use a reminder to pause, breathe and take it all in.

When you do yoga or meditate with Meddy Teddy, he's a great partner who will never interrupt your focus by demanding something of you and will never get in the way of you nailing that yoga pose you've been practicing all week. He will serve as a reminder to relax, enjoy the moment and get the most out of your best life.

Get adventurous and try out new poses by first posing Meddy and visualizing how you can move your body in the same way.

Meddy gets children excited to move and try out new things but Meddy is here for everyone, not just your little ones! We all need more opportunities and motivation to move our bodies because moving helps enhance your mood, boosts your immune system, and helps you feel healthier overall.

Meddy is a great tool to incorporate into your existing mindfulness and yoga practice.

When it's just you and Meddy, you don't have to worry about what others may be thinking as you get used to moving your body in new ways or as you're are trying to get intentional about your breathwork.  Meddy will be right alongside you encouraging you with his beautiful smile and reminding you to relax and let your stress melt away.
