We want to see you move, breathe, flow, laugh, connect, and (maybe) win an amazing prize. Need more details? Here’s our quick 411 for you:

NJ yogis – get ready and get your tickets NOW. Bridget, Vanessa, and Serena are coming together for the most epic flow of 2020, with an incredible live DJ creating the soundtrack for the practice AND a full-on Porta pizza party happening after we get on up from savasana!

Fast Track To Happiness

Therapy Ball and Movement Workshop with Liz Tyburczy

Sunday at Elevate Yoga in Hazlet

Whether you are a yogi, an athlete or a desk-jockey this workshop will help you build a deeper understanding of your hips, and lower back

Back pain can easily be mistaken for hip pain and discomfort. The joint of your hip is located near your spine. For that reason, discomfort in your hip can resemble or actually cause back pain. Join me and learn some simple Self Myofascial techniques using the Yoga Tune Therapy balls. From my personal experience soft myofascial release tools can work to cause desirable changes in tissues, especially when combined with movement, breath control, and hydration. Stop abusing your Tissues with hard tools. Applying more pressure using a hard foam roller or a lacrosse ball does not always equal better. Soothe your tissues, it doesn’t have to hurt to work. You will also learn some simple movements to build stability, strength and flexibility.

Family Yoga

Sunday at Honor Yoga in Princeton

Experience Yoga as a family!

Family Yoga is a great way to bond with your family and meet new families. Practice yoga together with music, games, partner poses and more! Everyone is welcome, no yoga experience necessary!

Yoga Gives

Sunday at Align Amar Yoga in Tinton Falls

In this special 90 minute class, Christine Dates (RYT-500) will lead a slowly flowing, grounding yoga practice. Mindful movement will gently give way to stillness, as Stephanie Barrios-Cullins (RYT-500) settles the space with blissful Restorative Yoga poses to relax and soften body and mind. All funds raised will directly support Yoga Gives, a non-profit organization focused on providing accessible yoga practices and holistic healing for underrepresented communities and women of diverse backgrounds. Their visions is to provide women and underrepresented communities with accessible holistic healing and spiritual guidance to enhance their health and quality of life.
