Thank you to our thank you to our donors! Repost from : Today was one of those this-is-why-I-love-my-job moments! 🙌🏽

I had the honor of stopping by The Apostles’ House to deliver a check made possible by our generous donors for fundraiser. We exceeded our fundraising goal which allowed us to extend needed support to the community. This too is “doing yoga.”
apostles.house does incredible work in Newark—providing meals, social services, and compassionate support to individuals and families experiencing homelessness and food insecurity. They meet people with dignity, care, and consistency, and partnering with organizations like this makes me incredibly proud to serve as Executive Director of Newark Yoga Movement.

This is the work I love to do. This is community and empathy in action. And this is what happens when generosity meets purpose.

Follow Newark Yoga Movement’s journey—we have some truly exciting things planned, and we’re just getting started.

We’re covering ground across Newark. 🧡
Newark Yoga Movement shows up wherever wellness is needed—
Slide1- public spaces
Slide 2- classrooms
Slide 3- corporate

Because calm, confidence, and emotional regulation shouldn’t be a luxury. They’re tools—and they belong in our schools, our workplaces, and our everyday community spaces.

Wherever we lay our mat, we’re building a stronger Newark—one breath at a time. More to come!

Back to the schedule!! You got this. 👍🏽
One breath at a time. One moment at a time. One reset at a time.

We’re back in schools supporting students (and the adults who support them) with tools for calm, focus, and emotional regulation—right when it matters most.

Hey, Namaste Every Single One of You!

Since our October 2009 roll out, Newark Yoga Movement has been "stretching minds"to over 32,000 children in Newark and more than 5,000 educators, including the majority of the PE and Health teachers in Newark Public Schools. Each week through 100+ classes, NYM has over 2500 students smiling.

The organization touches upon all venues to reach children, educators and care givers including public schools, charter schools, independent schools, organizations catering to children and families, after school programs and health fairs and even the entire Newark Fire Department! Corporations have gotten involved like Audible.com, NJPAC and Rutgers University Newark because they know that every single person that can impact a child should experience self-regulating life skills. Our 9 free community classes this week give Newarkers an opportunity to unwind and de-stress at cool venues like Newark Museum, LGBTQ at Main Library, Van Buren Library, All Stars Project, Military Park, Historical Society and the awesome Clubhouse.

Now in our 10th year, we are excited to continue expansion with our Instant Calm running in a dozen schools and even expanding outside Newark to other schools. Our organization is always welcoming to new yoga guides wanting to work with us as well as volunteers to assist in classes or other aspects of the organization.

We look forward to having you visit our website or a class and see transformations happen to educators and children and parents and the community right before your eyes. We are really efficient with our funds received. In fact, just $50 teaches 60 children one time. Ohmazing. Thanks in advance for reading and hopefully joining us on the “mat” soon somewhere in Newark.
