Jersey Shore GLOBAL MALA: September 18th, Sea Bright, NJ

On Sunday, September 18th, 2011, we'll be getting our yoga on for an awesome cause at Sea Bright Beach from 4pm - 7pm for this year's GLOBAL MALA. Global Mala is an annual event to bring all yoga studios and their communities together as ONE in celebration of peace. I'll be teaching at this year's event, where we'll flow through 108 rounds of sun salutations on the Sea Bright boardwalk over the gorgeous ocean, under the setting sun! For this particular Global Mala all proceeds will go to Clean Ocean Action.

Please purchase your ticket here. And don't let the 108 sun salutations scare you. Come to this event with an open mind and only do what you're comfortable with (unless you want a challenge!). There's no judgement in yoga, so you can relax in child's pose or take a water break whenever you need one throughout the practice. It will be a beautiful event, so I encourage you to come!

Yoga Festival by the Sea - Global Mala 2010

This weekend was the Yoga Festival by the Sea in Asbury Park, NJ. It was an exciting weekend of yoga, yummy vegan food and great people! =)
The Global Mala was founded by Shiva Rea to unite the global yoga community from every continent to form a "mala around the earth" by spreading peace in hopes that it has a ripple effect throughout the world. On Sunday, we gathered and practiced 108 sun salutations together on the Asbury Park boardwalk. All of the money raised for this event will go towards bringing yoga into Asbury Park Schools.
The first two pictures on here were shot by Kiersten Rowland of Prema Photographic (she got so many lovely shots of the day!) and the rest were a few that I snapped myself.

Ming, one of my wonderful yoga students flowed through ALL 108 sun salutes next to me with not one break! I was so impressed and proud of him, GO Ming!

Me flowing!
