The Most Fun, Freezing, Fantastic and Fabulously Insta-Worthy Images in NJ Yoga This Week

Have you ever seen the hashtag #yogaeverywhere?

Well that one is basically the buddy hash of #njyogacollective this week – because we are seeing yoga EVERYWHERE, even though it is so crazy cold outside!

One of our founders, Bridget Riepl, took her practice outside right after the snow storm (yes, we think she is just little crazy) and we were semi-surprised to learn she wasn’t the only one willing to brave the 9 degree (feels like -2) temperatures.

YIKES!

Luckily, most of our community was wisely warmth-loving enough to keep their asanas inside.

Here are the moments we were loving:

I need a name for this pose. So far we have “frozen warrior” or “human icicle.” Oh and also a lot of “you are crazy” 😂 But seriously, caption this!! #seabright #abfitness photo by @joe_schondel ❄️ #njyogacollective

Not exactly the beach life I signed up for, but still a pretty sight all in white. Last picture is the river I went paddleboarding this summer ❄️❄️❄️ #40degreesisthenew60 #TobyAndPuma #yoga #dancerpose #snowga

Be brave enough to find your own balance between enjoying the moment, holding onto the good, and being wise enough to let go of that which doesn’t serve you ✌🏻

✨love 💖 love 💖 love ✨ • • #repost @eleonorazampatti Duality sits at the core of the human identity. One moment I hide behind my tears, and the moment after, I warm somebody's heart with my smile. Also, I often I want to hide in the darkness of the night I cannot live without the warm touch of the sun. My soul shines when surrounded by people, but yet it seeks for moments of absolute loneliness. I love the vibration of music and I recharge thought the sound of silence. The more I learn to surrender to this constant wave of being, the more I will found my self. I spent my entire life dwelling within. The more I tried to be strong and avoid emotional contradictions, the more I was falling apart. I often ended up thinking that I was too little, stupid, banal and fragile for this world, that I was so complicated and uncertain and therefore not worthy. Until one day, while sitting in the darkness of my little apartment, I understood how much I was able to love. At the same time, the worst of me and the best of me coexisted and I understood I hold within myself both Sun and Moon and neither of them were supposed to fight the other. So I decided to just be: stop hiding “the wrong Eleonora,” trying to be “the good one,” and instead embrace both of them. Life changed after that. After I made the choice to love my self for just who I am, imperfections included. * Thank you @fitqueenirene for being there, believing in me when nobody else did and thank you for showing how strong I can be. * Photo by @amieretzlaff Wearing @werkshop . . . #loveyourself #scorpion #inversion #backbend #yoga #yogagirl #myyogalife #beagoddess #yogapose #njyogacollective

midday movement, and finally feeling better!! every time I catch a cold, my practice gets wiped out for a week- and it’s like playing catch-up all over again to feel comfortable in my movements, especially inversions! Crazy what a week off will do to your strength 🤨 …….aaaaand I just realized I left the sound on, where you can hear the puff puffs of my nose and how I like to do everything: in silence 🤪 video sped up 3x, wearing @lululemon

“Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they’re meant to be.” . . –B.K.S Iyengar

Feeling stressed, confused, out of sync? Focus on your breath, it's one of the simplest ways to clear your mind, destress, detox and even boost the immune system. Whenever it crosses your mind just breathe. Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out. Repeat. Remember. Do it again until it becomes a natural habit to focus on your breath.
