Everything You Need to Know About the Healthy Living EXPO Virginia Beach 2026

Have you ever stumbled upon something unexpectedly and felt an immediate pull to share it with everyone you know? That’s exactly where I found myself late one night recently—uncovering a hidden gem of an event coming to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront and realizing that this might be exactly what so many of us have been looking for.

In this post, I’m taking you along on my unscripted, first-time exploration of the Healthy Living EXPO website. What I discovered genuinely excited me: a full weekend of wellness programming scheduled for May 2-3, 2026, at Neptune Park and the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. From health screenings and fitness demos to something called “Furry Friends Yoga” (yes, with adoptable pets), this event appears to offer something for everyone—whether you’re a seasoned wellness enthusiast or simply curious about taking that first step toward a healthier lifestyle.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this post (and the accompanying podcast episode):

• A complete breakdown of everything the Healthy Living EXPO has to offer, including the Coastal Edge 5K, vendor marketplace, and speaker lineup
• My personal reflections on what it means to be holistically minded and why community events like this matter
• Behind-the-scenes thoughts on my own 20-year journey with Hypno Athletics and how wellness has shaped my path
• Practical details you need to know if you’re planning to attend: dates, locations, and how to get involved as a vendor or participant
• An honest, unpolished look at discovering something new—and why that vulnerability matters

Whether you’re local to Virginia Beach, considering a wellness-focused getaway, or simply looking for inspiration to deepen your own practice, I invite you to explore this with me. Press play below to hear the full discussion as I walk through the website in real-time, share personal stories, and reflect on why events like this have the power to transform communities.

Website & Contact:

A Note from the Host:
Dr. Alexander mentions that he learned about the event from an organizer he met at Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii (619 18th Street, Virginia Beach). He is recording this as a “cold read” of the website and is using it for a personal project. He also humorously notes he has a court appearance on “Friday the 13th” for a traffic ticket related to a car equipment cluster recall.

That in Virginia Beach at the Virginia Beach ocean front, specifically If you’re looking for something to do, especially if you are someone who is holistically minded someone who pays attention to their health or It doesn’t have to just be, you know. You’re the choir that’s being preached to meaning that you are already into it.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (00:45)
Although there’s going to be a good deal of people in attendance, I’m sure that are But if you also want to look deeper, explore, more research, healthy living, then this seems like it might be the type of event to get to. I’m looking at healthy living EXPO. vb.com.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (01:11)
Healthy living EXPO vb.com. And I’m gonna look through the site here. I’m recording right now on my Galaxy device.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (01:23)
And I’m looking at this website on my iPhone. And it starts off. Right?

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (01:30)
Let me from the top. We have a nice little There’s a cool graphic. It’s an overhead shot of the oceans, some waves going in.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (01:39)
I think that’s actually pretty beautiful. And we have a circular emblem here, the logo, healthy living EXPO. And it’s got a little staff of escapius, if you don’t know what that is.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (01:51)
That’s the stick with the snake winding around. And this one has a single snake. There’s actually a difference.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (01:57)
Between the 1 has 2 and the wings and all that I’m not going to get into that right now. All right. So Starting after that, oh, there’s a little bar that says apply to be a vendor which that might be something that I’m doing presenting as a speaker.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (02:14)
I’ll probably be talking about the eternality, axiom, and My own hybridized version of capoeira, called kappagera, but let’s take a look at this website and see where this goes here. I’m Hakeem Ali bocas, Alexander. This will probably go onto the site.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (02:39)
High female alexander.com as well as the podcast with my name. Alright. So if starting from the top here underneath, so after it has applied to be a vendor.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (02:50)
Virginia Beach oceanfront May 2nd to third 2026. A weekend of wellness. Spend 2 energizing days at the oceanfront, discovering everything from health screenings, fitness demos, exhibitors, and products, speakers and panels.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (03:23)
Puppy, Yogi, Yoga, action, sports and more. Neptune park and the boardwalk provide the perfect setting to embrace wellness and breathe in the salty sea air. Alright, I gotta stop for just a second.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (03:48)
Only because. I want to make sure that I don’t know if there’s something called puppy. Yog or puppy, yog.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (03:58)
Or if it’s just that whoever Whoever entered the information into the site, left the a off. Because I read it as puppy Yoga Even though I saw that there wasn’t an a there, but I was improvising. So I’m going to get in touch with t I’m gonna get in touch with The promoters and producers of this event.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (04:32)
Maybe that should say Yoga I don’t know. But I’m guessing it should all right, continuing after this cool little. There’s a there’s a little icon on there that looks like a trailer.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (04:46)
So apparently This might be an event where maybe the trailer represents the trailer that vendors will bring in with their all of their wares. Or maybe people travel from out of town to come, check out this event. I am surprised I’ve been in-and-in and out of Virginia.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (05:06)
And in an in and out of Virginia Beach since September Fourth, specifically of 2021. So a little over 4 years, and I don’t think that I either. I haven’t heard about This healthy living explo.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (05:29)
Or I it just passed through because you know, psychologically mentally, maybe I just wasn’t I wasn’t there. There’s a lot of things I’ve been Been working through and so sometimes a lot of things just don’t hit my radar even if I have heard about this before but I don’t know. I don’t know if this is the first time they’re doing this or not.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (05:50)
Also, what’s really cool, of course, mean, healthy living as a term that’s used a lot. But in one of the taglines, at the end of four example, my website hypno Athletics, which I’ve started in In 2006 which, by the way, this March March is the 20th year anniversary of hypno athletic.com. And you know, I would say, and I still do, say, hypno Athletics is exercising your mind towards universal harmony and spiritual wisdom through healthy, living and self-defense.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (06:29)
So exercising your mind towards you. Universal harmony and spiritual wisdom through healthy, living and self-defense, which in the way that I look at it. And the way that I’ve been developing, they’re really synonymous, healthy, living and self events.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (06:46)
So I’m not sure. If this you know, healthy living EXPO has come through here before. But maybe just maybe if I continue reading through this website, it’ll tell me I have to go to court in the morning on Friday.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (07:02)
The 13th to deal with a ticket and it’s 12:38 in the morning right now. And so I’m gonna have to be I’m getting asleep. So I set my alarm which I normally don’t do.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (07:17)
Because I usually just wake up whenever I’m done sleeping. But I set an alarm for 6 o’clock so I don’t have much time just so I can, because I know I’m gonna be, you know, grumpy, and I’m gonna have to, you know, take my time do my breathing exercises, and You know, my Pranayama, as it’s called a so I’ll do my breathing exercises. And then And then really just, you know, get myself.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (07:47)
Woken up, I’m just, I’m not gonna. I’m not gonna dig. Because I don’t, I don’t take it.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (07:53)
That’s why. Okay. So enough of that, let me get back onto this site.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (08:00)
Alright, so After the yeah, so okay, yes, Neptune park and the boardwalk provide the perfect setting to embrace wellness and breathe in the salty air. And unlike I said, there’s a little trailer icon there And then it says the next heading says, okay, vendors and local flavor so maybe it is for the vendors that little icons. All right, this is a cold reading.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (08:31)
By the way, I haven’t read through the site before. I met I met one of the One of the event coordinators. Actually, I’m not exactly sure I maybe she told me.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (08:53)

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (19:53)
And oh and I actually even took a video I think it was like 5 minutes of just the ocean just because I wanted to I normally don’t usually I just actually use my eyes and brain to observe the ocean just sitting there. But for some reason, today, I just felt like taking a few minutes of video. From the ocean.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (28:49)
So next we have A Yes Another little M circular emblem logo here, and it says, furry, friends, Yoga. So now I’m starting to think that at the beginning. In that first paragraph under a weekend of yet, wellness that should save puppy Yoga instead of puppy yog.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (29:16)
So that’s something alright. Alright, so It says furry, friends, Yoga, and there’s A Cute drawing up a puppy sitting next to a kitten. And in front of them is a Bunny and the Bunny is pink and notice how I use all the baby names of these animals.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (29:42)
