Yoga + Coffee = So Happy Together

There aren’t many things we love more than a cup of coffee in the morning (or water – for Lauren – when there is a little yogi on board).

Actually, let’s be honest – coffee is the #1 thing on our agenda every single morning. It’s not even the caffeine jolt as much as it is the comforting feeling that comes with that perfect first sip.

It’s like a warm hug for our bellies.

Judging from our IG stories and posts, it seems like the majority of you are major coffee lovers too. And let’s get even more specific – you all love the best of the best when it comes to coffee.

Translation? You’re probably not settling for Folgers in your cup on a daily basis.

Now we know NJ yogis head to lots of great coffee shops after getting their asana on at their favorite studios. But there is one local roaster who owns our heart every time we head into Monmouth County.

If you don’t know the name, we know you’ll know their sticker. (but really, you should know the name. We all go to the beach in the summertime, right?!).

Superfans (ourselves included) have been known to stick that thing EVERYWHERE, from laptop covers to street signs.

Give up? It’s Rook Coffee.

The NJYC headed over to Rook’s Red Bank location for a quick catch up with some of our most-loved Jersey Shore teachers after yoga a few weeks ago. We had so much fun AND we got to hang out with the one and only Holly Migliaccio, who co-founded Rook with her partner, Shawn Kingsley.

Coffee-talk with Holly eventually led to a conversation about our 21 Days of Giving and an offer from Holly to hook up one winner with some deliciously wonderful Rook swag. We decided to gift the Rook goods with an Apeiron yoga mat because, in our humble opinion, coffee and yoga belong together.

Like peanut butter and everything.

Hope you win!
