Join us for another season of Yoga at Cedar Run! All levels are welcomed. This will be a slow vinyasa/yin class. Some flow movement with some deep yin holds! Intentional movement progressing towards strength and healing to make you feel invigorated and relaxed. Breathe in the healing energy of the natural surroundings, heal yourself as you contribute to healing the animals around you.
Theme: Honoring the sun, the sun empowers us, and keeps our health balanced. “Honoring the Sun” encourages participants to cultivate an attitude of gratitude and appreciation for the gifts of light, warmth, and energy bestowed upon them by the sun. The sacred connection between humans and the natural world can help us all to align with the sun’s energy, cultivate vitality, and renew your spirit with each breath and movement.
We will be enjoying our morning yoga in the nature setting of the Pine Barrens. Surrounded by the sounds of nature, the smells of the forest and the morning air, it is sure to calm your mind, body and spirit. This session we will be stretching out in our new Wildlife Housing Pavilion as we will take in the sun setting into evening. We will have tea at the nature center as well to help get your body and mind calm, replenished and ready for this session!

Meet your instructor: Monica Walsh – High Vibrations Association
Monica was first introduced to yoga when her mom brought her to her first class that a friend was teaching at a Synagogue in the late 90s. They attended the class because Monica’s relationship to her newly developing teenage body was not a healthy one. This beautiful, simple, practice opened her eyes to a new path with which to approach the human condition both on and off the mat. Ever since, Monica’s desire for yogic knowledge snowballed –seeking out classes at local gyms and yoga studios turned into finding highly qualified mentors resulting in a lifelong regulated practice and a desire for something deeper, a taste for something higher than ourselves. For the last couple of decades Monica has spent thousands of hours on the mat at different vinyasa, hatha and 26/2 focused studios. With a great deal of knowledge under her belt and a thirst to help others, Monica became a Yoga Alliance 200 Hour Certified Teacher in March of 2020 and began teaching yoga at Lavender Koi in Berlin, NJ immediately. Around the same time, Monica was introduced to Bhakti Yoga and began to deepen her knowledge in the ancient Vedic teachings of yoga philosophy. Today, Monica continues to teach at Lavender Koi Yoga as well as Studio 67 in Medford, NJ with the a focus of helping others, not only on a basic physical level in the body, but to also provide students with a tool box for the mind and spirit.
