#Repost @yogaptliz with @get_repost ・・・ SO EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THIS! To all my fellow yogis who want to spread the joy of yoga and making it accessible for all: I wanted to share with you an opportunity to be a part of this upcoming event on May 11 in Central NJ. The VibeWell Honors Yoga Festival will be a day of community, gratitude and connectedness. I'm super excited that we will be having programming specific to accessible yoga, and we are looking for anyone who would like to be a participant or vendor to help spread the word about accessible yoga in your community. Mercer County is about halfway between NYC and Philly, so it would be great to see groups from all over! If interested, please PM me and I'll send you more details. #yogaforeverybody #accessibleyogaambassador #accessibleyoga #honoryogatherapeutics #honoryoga #njyogacollective #yogafestival

Yoga festivals are NOT just for "advanced" practitioners with chinstands, baby crows, scorpions, and lotuses in their back pockets. Festivals are for everyone and anyone seeking to celebrate the magic & mindfulness of yoga. We created #vibewellhonors with an intention to serve ALL. Beginners can create a perfect day on May 11 with meditation, deep talks, yummy food, a fun family zone, and a practice that takes you right to the roots of yoga with Christine and Julie! ・・・ @CMRYOGI began her love of yoga in 2008 when she was diagnosed for the first time with cancer. Stepping on her mat created a sense of peace, health and a sense of community that was missing in her life. Curious by nature and a lifetime learner, the philosophy of yoga encouraged Christine to explore the mind body spirit connection. She became certified as a Professional Life Coach specializing in health and wellness and she works with individuals and groups. Christine completed her level 3 Reiki certification and continued her Mind Body journey with her 200 hour RYT yoga instructor certification at Honor Yoga in the Fall of 2014 with an emphasis on an Iyengar based practice. Christine is also certified to teach Yin and Restorative Yoga and is very passionate about these powerful and healing practices. Christine has a strong belief that in order to be wholly healthy, one must nurture the mind, the body and the spirit equally. She enjoys teaching beginners and advanced students alike knowing that everyone is also her student and teacher. Christine teaches an alignment based practice coupled with mindfulness and strength from the inside out. She is intuitive to her student's needs and is passionate about assisting students along their personal path to discover and realize their true definition of health and wellness. #njyoga #njyogi #cancersurvivor #yogafestival #njyogafest #vibewellhonors #honoryoga #mindbodyspirit #newjerseyyoga #njyogacollective #healingpowers #powerofyoga #reiki #reikimaster

It’s all in the hands. Understanding and feeling the correct hand placement will dramatically change your practice. From arm balancing to downward dog to holding a handstand, the weight placement in the hands is crucial. If you feel wrist pain; try to be more mindful with how each element of your hand connects into the mat. #yoga #balance #njyoga #njyogacollective #nj #hands #handstand #stretch #grounding #yogatip

I’m HUGGABLE . . . Again! 🤗💕✨🧘🏻‍♀️💛 🌙 I was so excited to see a student I have not seen in a few months and when she saw me she asked, ✨ “Can I hug you?" 🌷 It was so sweet as she was aware of my surgery and wanted to make sure I would be okay, physically and mentally. She was aware that having been through so much I had been feeling really vulnerable. 😘 "Yes!" 💕 It has been just over 6 months since my surgery and I am slowly getting some strength back. More than that I am beginning to feel like I can do normal things again – like hugging someone 😉 – without being so incredibly nervous. I'm still working on getting in and out of the car a little more gracefully and I have to admit to getting super tired often. I'm not yet back to where I hope to be but I am grateful for these small moments. 💜 I am grateful that with a lot of help and support I have been able to also have time to finish my first online training! (And if you did not get to sign up stay tuned as I will be running it again in 2019.) And in just about a week I am heading to Cuba to lead my fourth retreat there… Thank you to everyone who has shared this journey with me… 🌙 (PS – I am grateful that as I’ve had the time to develop these meditation series and trainings that they have been so well received! if you are a teacher or student and you have not signed up for the FREE 4 week meditation series More Presence please register in the link in my bio 🙂 – – – #njyogacollective #meditation #skaterpose #unboundpotential #meditationmentor #travellingyogini #beachyogagirl #goldenhour #huggable #sunriseyoga #yogateacherlife #jnanamudra #strongher #offthemat #morethanasana

March is Women”s History Month and International Women”s Day, which is coming up this Friday. Let’s celebrate all women and lift each other up! 💗 Cathy @cathymadeoyoga in one of her awesome inversions. And I must say, I’m not a fan of black outfits when doing shoots because they disappear and blend in with the background but I love this jumpsuit! To make it stand out we made sure to pick a white background to make it pop! Happened to be the entrance to a church. 🙏

“We are visitors on this planet. We are here for 90-100 years at the very most. During that period we must try to do something good, something useful with our lives. If you contribute to other people’s happiness, you will discover the true goal, the true meaning of life.” The Dalai Lama Peace and happiness in our lives is important, as we radiate out what we feel within.. however maybe instead of seeking happiness, we should seek to find ourselves and wake up to our purpose in this world. Not just going through the motions or doing what we think we should but be of benefit to our community by sharing our gifts, love and compassion with one another. 📸 @suzanne.kulperger Lovely yogi lifting me up @jrenaywright • • • #dalailama #lifteachotherup #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #njyoga #njyogacollective #yoganj #capemay
