Top Insta-Worthy Moments in NJ Yoga This Week

We truly love seeing all of you. Your posts are BEYOND amazing and we find so much inspiration in our weekly digging through all the #njyogacollective shots on IG. We know that social media is not for everyone…but for us, it is a place to live, breathe, grow, and discover some of the most inspirational voices in NJ.

This week’s posts brought up emotions (just as most of our favorite yoga classes do!), from fear to love – and everything in between.

Thank you for making us FEEL something. That is such a gift.

Plus Cathy Madeo has us TOTALLY crushing on this copper water bottle and Yoga Mechanics gave us perm-baby brain with those cute feet!

And yes, we need a bite from that vegan poke bowl NOW.

I am practicing today as if my heart has never been broken, not scared to love again and not scared to be who I really am. I learned nothing it’s impossible if you work hard for it. I learned to believe in my self. * #loveyourself Photo by @amieretzlaff Wearing @werkshop @odetothemoonfoundation pants . . . #nomore #yoga #beagoddess #yogagirl #yogainspiration #njyogacollective #myyogalife #flexibility #strength

Hello world! A full day of yoga keeps the doctor away (I hope)😜 Took class this AM from the beautiful @brittorstrup, then taught to my favorite crew right after. ❤️ This afternoon was spent at our Lebanon studio with @jvillane_ leading the most peaceful Yin yoga & Acupuncture class. 🤤Pure BLISS! I am so grateful for my students, my badass business partners, my supportive friends & family- everything. 🙌🏼 Tell me about your day 👇🏼😘 . . . #yogi #yoga #fitness #yogalove #yogafit #smile #saturday #njyogacollective #yogisofinstagram #yogisofig #healthblogger #igdaily #fitnessmotivation #fitgirls #yogainspiration

"And the call isn't out there at all, it's inside me It's like the tide; always falling and rising I will carry you here in my heart you'll remind me That come what may I know the way" Lyrics from 'I Am Moana' – This morning while we were watching Moana, and this song came on, Willa started crying. I asked her why. She said, as she put her hand to her heart, "It reminds me of you." #heartmelt It's my favorite song from the movie. A movie which we have seen well over 50 times. Today it got to her, then it got to me. Keep going Willa. You are a force I am glad is with me. – #myfathersthoughts | #thislifeas5 | #moana

teaching yoga is a mix of emotions 🙏🏻 I feel excited and vulnerable and honest and exposed all at the same time. it brings me directly to the present moment and challenges me to face some of my most deep rooted belief systems and insecurities ✨ teaching 3 nights this week @honoryogaprinceton was a privilege and I’m deeply grateful for the community @cathymadeoyoga and @evanmadeoyoga have built 💕 thank you 🙌🏼

Green Power Poke Bowl. Sometimes I’m amazed at my own creations… 😂. Trial and error, this looks amazing. Green Jade rice is the star at the bottom. #foodismedicine #greenbowl #pokebowl #jalapenopoppers #greenrice #pistachios #mango #avocado #amazingsalad #vegan #veganbowl #greenpower #healingfoods #vitasanaflow #veganinnj #njyogacollective #foodmatters #pomegranate #cucumber #sesameseeds #avocado #livegreen #instafood #foodporn #betterchoices #youarewhatyoueat
