Our Favorite, Most Inspiring, Insta-Worthy Moments in NJ Yoga This Week!

December 15th?!

What!?

How did time go so fast? We’d like to say we were busy being present…but we’ve also been a little bit busy buying presents too. #realtalk

Here are the moments in NJ yoga that have us inspired and excited this week. You all rocked it again, just like we knew you would.

And now we have a BIG ASK: could you give us some elfish, Santa-fied, mega Menorah, reindeer gaming, dreidel playing, snowflakey fun for next week? We want to post a ton of holiday inspired pictures but we need your help to make it happen.

Hashtag #njyogacollective and let us see what you’ve got!

 

*and thanks to Danielle Diamond for being our Insta-Worthy cover model today 😉

What do I love about this photo? What I love most is that it reminds me of life and faith. How? Well @robertsturman captured this moment candidly as we were trying to figure out where to walk to next or just end our shoot. Look at my body. It is extended and in the shade but then look at my hands. My hands are in Gyan mudra. They are open to receive. And in this photo, the only things in the light. To me, it speaks no matter how dark; no matter if on your knees and feeling bent, always keep your faith. Keep your hands open to receive the blessings from God. His light is always shining. You just have to seek it. He is there to guide you. So, this morning I pray… God, thy will be done. My will is to do it. Happy Friday!! #robertsturman #chroniclesofayogateacher #njyogacollective #latinastrong #latina #boricuayogi #yogateachertraining #lohud#yonkersny #bronxyoga #bronxyogis #westchesterny #nuyoricanyogi #yogasavedmylife #yogainspiration #yoga #zayzeyoga #elbarrio #proudtobelatina Leggings: @zayzefit Promo code: NUEVAALMA Photo credit: @robertsturman
