We are so truly in love with this post! It’s such an important reminder (as we sit here shopping Black Friday deals from our fave brands) and we are forever grateful to all of YOU for showing up with inspiration just like that. A huge piece of our dream is to keep this big, bright and beautiful NJ yoga community centered and connected – even on the most chaotic days.

Here are the other posts that caught our eyes and captured our hearts this week. Keep hashtagging #njyogacollective – we are almost at 1000 posts. Crazy, right?

Insta celebration when it happens? We think so!

😴 Who’s with me? Show me your feelings with an emoji 👇🏼 Wishing you all a day just like every other- full of love, gratitude & compassion. ❤️ Featured here is my adorable little brother, Justin! He is getting so big!!!

I am thankful for you, family & delicious food, definitely & always… however researching the historical foundations of Thanksgiving today made me want to crawl into a ball & baste myself 💔😥 #goawaygoogle #stopthinking #timeforbed #thinkyogithoughts #waaah

Practicing gratitude helps us to be truly present. 2017 was an awesome year and I have so much to be grateful for. • • I have the most supportive, loving husband, great parents and two wacky and beautiful sisters. ❤️ I have the BEST friends I could ever ask for and a great job where I make natural cosmetics at a family owned business with awesome coworkers. ⚗️This year I was blessed with opportunities to pursue my passion of teaching yoga at 2 incredible studios @tulayoga @beeyou_kidsyoga 🙏🏼🧘🏻‍♀️ and I was fortunate to be involved with 5️⃣ fantastic local theater productions this year with @exit82theatre @nenaproductions and @algonquinartstheatre 🎭🎼 • • Thank you to all my friends, family, my yoga and theatre communities, and the #bmcfandom . 👾💊 Thank you for your love and support. You made this year one for the books! . . . #chill82 #exit82family #bmcfandom #bemorechill #NJYOGACOLLECTIVE #njyoga #bemorechillmusical #njtheatre #tulayoganj #beeyouyoga

My mom comes to visit for the holidays. She brings me some pineapple juice she got for free at Shaws. I don't drink pineapple juice. I don't want the pineapple juice. So, I tell her, "no, mom I don't want the pineapple juice. Thanks." She is flabbergasted. Yes, flabbergasted that I don't want this pineapple juice she scammed Shaws to get for free. She then proceeded to repeatedly ask me, "what do you mean you don't want the juice. I got the juice for you." I'd change the subject and then she'd bring it back up again. "I can't believe you don't want the juice. I got it for you. What do you mean you don't like it?" She made me feel guilty for not liking the damn juice. No wonder I have interpersonal problems. This is what I grew up with. When I got the courage to mustard up my voice it wasn't met with acceptance but rather astonishment. So, that's what I learned. Why bother speaking up because if I did it wouldn't matter and my opinion would be wrong. It is so interesting to observe my interactions with my mom today and clearly see why I am the why I am. Let's see what the next few days will bring… – 📸: @amieretzlaff – #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #njyogacollective

Why is my broccoli 🥦 better? Because it’s quickly blanched until a-touch-past-al dente, chilled to stop the cooking process and then the seasoning is layered on top. A seasoned extra virgin olive oil with garlic and lemon zest gets tossed with the broccoli. Never overcooked or soggy- nutrients intact. With Relish Your Chef, it’s easy being green 💚. I think about these things so you don’t have to. . . . .

We succeed by lifting each other up. Do you remember a time where someone selflessly helped you? Or maybe you were dragging someone down because of something you were dealing with internally? Yoga teaches us to acknowledge these lessons in life. No matter what, we are all capable of learning from our experiences, good or bad. ❤️ . . Pictured here is owner, Nicole, giving teacher, Emily, a boost post class! We love you guys!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
