October, we love you. Sweaters, boots, scarves, pumpkin spice, VibeWell Yoga Festival, and very good reasons to wear pink.
We also feel like this a time to reset, restore, nourish, plant seeds for 2020, and stoke the fire within so we can stay lit up through the winter.
Here is where we will be practicing this week, from candlelit yin and restorative reiki to sun salutes and the one and only Ivy Ray.
Remember to hashtag #njyogacollective and tag @njyogacollective so we know where to find YOU!

Personalize Your Sun Salutations
Saturday at Align Amar Yoga in Tinton Falls
Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) are a wonderful way to warm up the body for yoga practice and begin to link the body with the breath. But like all yoga poses, the poses within a Sun Salutation are not one size fits all, and it’s hard to find your fit when you often only have one breath to find it. In this workshop, Christine and Karin will break down the poses practiced in Surya Namaskar A, offering each student individualized attention and recommendations. We’ll discuss alignment and repetitive stress, you’ll learn how props can help make you stronger, and you’ll find the pose variations that fit your unique body best. This workshop will give students a deeper understanding of what adjustments can be made in order to make Sun Salutations an effective and sustainable part of asana practice.

One last thing…
SAVE THE DATE!
Oh wait, one more.
May Louie first took yoga in college to fulfill a Phys-Ed requirement and immediately fell in love. She, unfortunately, did not continue with her practice but reconnected with it when she retired from her corporate job in 2002 and has since become a serious yoga enthusiast. After her second retirement in 2017, she completed her 200-hour RYT certification, studying with Dina Crosta, Ellen Mosko, and Jamie Segal Hanley, with a focus on alignment based flow.
