Our Favorite Insta-Worthy Moments in NJ This Week

We wanted to write something beautiful – something to convey how inspired we are by these pictures – but nothing seemed just right. So instead, we found this quote:

“The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.”
— Elliott Erwitt

And we hope Elliott’s words are as true for you as they are for us.

Here are the moments that made us pause, think, smile and get on our mats to do some YOGA!

Sunrise yoga on the beach, even when the temperature drops below 50 degrees. Danielle, we bow down to you and your inner fire!

In the words of Aperion Yoga founder Adam Binder, Live limitless.

Like a tree, you must first find your roots before you can bend in the wind 🌲🍃 • • • 📷: @katiex12 wearing our Hamsa racerback tank on a Luxe yoga mat, photo by @allie.snaps . . . . . #ApeironYoga #Apeiron #LiveLimitless #yoga #yogi #yoganj #njyoga #njyogacollective #lbi #longbeachisland #nj #newjersey #nature #scenic #views #floral #flowers #hamsa #yogamat #activewear #athleisure #yogaeverydamnday #yogaeverywhere #yogadaily #yogachallenge #yogacommunity #yogagram #yogisofinstagram #yogapose #namaste

It’s yoga practice, not yoga perfect. That being said, this crow is sort of perfect.
