Inst-Worthy Moments in NJ Yoga This Week

This snow bomb cyclone has us instagramming SO hard all day long. Luckily #njyogacollective is keeping us grounded and grateful; seeing your images, efforts, ideas and inspiration is truly the best.

And it doesn’t hurt that we are scrolling them with a cup of hot chocolate in hand 🙂

Here are some of the most loved moments of the week. Keep tagging, sharing and showing up – without you, there is no US (and we really love doing this!).

Intense, eye-opening, empowering.

2017 was intense, eye opening, tough, incredible and empowering. A year full of the kind of pain that teach you who you really are and the kind of joy that stays forever. I rarely look back, it used to hurt too much to observe my past but finally I am in a place where there is nothing about “yesterday” that scares me. I left fear and shame behind a long time ago. Today I am proud of who I am and that’s the best way to begin a new year. Loving who you are doesn’t matter how imperfect you feel. Not being scared of failing. Knowing that everything will be the way it supposed to be: Wonderful. Imperfect. Unique. Breath taking. * Goodbye 2017, you were so good to me. Welcome 2018, I am ready for you ♥️. * Photo by @amieretzlaff . . . #gratitude #loveyourself #yoga #inspiration #yogagirl #yogapose #flexible #beagoddess #njyogacollective

Make sure to read this one – it has amazing tips for cleaning your active wear.

Tag a workout buddy below to let them know these facts about #activewear. . Activewear is made out of synthetic materials that shed microfibers in the wash. These are small bits of plastic fibers that end up in the water system and eventually in the oceans. By all means, hit that resolution hard but keep these in mind to ensure your activewear stays fresher longer without too many washes. . After use, turn them inside out and hang dry them. Smell is normally caused by bacteria and skin cells festering in a dark and damp place. Do not leave them in your gym bag! . Add a cup of vinegar to the wash to get rid of smell and ensures you only wash once instead of a few times. . Sprinkle some baking sofa to sneakers if they get stanky and let them air dry in the sun. . Invest in good quality activewear. Not only will it last long but will give you the confidence to perform workouts better. . Checkout companies using recycled plastic, bamboo which is a natural antibacterial and wool performance gear. ??‍♀️?????‍♀️???
