Finding Balance…Together

group shot with logo and banner
This past weekend, we hosted a “Finding Balance” yoga workshop at the North Jersey Muay Thai gym in Lodi, New Jersey where we teach our $5 yoga classes.

Sixty yogis (many who traveled quite a distance to join us!) assembled to practice, learn and collaborate.

We created the workshop to accommodate all levels of experience. We began with a few words on the topic of finding balance (both on and off the yoga mat) and continued to teach a well-rounded flow to loosen up the body and engage the core.

We were so excited, first of all, because it was a sold out event, and secondly, because we had a DSC_0437aura assistgreat session planned along with fun vendors and goodies from a leading yogawear brand.  We also just love getting together with fellow yogis.  It’s a wonderful family that we have — relationships that we have been able to nurture and cultivate via Instagram and our weekly classes.

Over the course of two hours, we explored a variety of standing balance poses, arm balances and inversions.There were so many students who experienced balance breakthroughs that day! Some were able to get into all of the poses, some only one, and some none at all, but everyone tried their best.

We were so proud of the participants for showing great effort. But what really stood out for us was the overwhelming sense of community.

Many of the attendees have never met each other — at least not in person.  Up until Sunday, they only knew each other by their Instagram names. They greeted each other, worked together and supported each other as if they’ve known each other for years.  We are so lucky to have such an amazing community.

Thank you for making it an amazing day.

We would be remiss if we didn’t thank the fabulous vendors we had on hand — K. Deer Haute Yoga Wear and Love Grace Foods — and Fabletics for providing water bottles and headbands for each participant!

We can’t wait to get together again soon!
