Stonehenge Partners with National Yoga Month to host an Event Series in NYC

Dear Chien,

http://www.stonehengenyc.com/Stonehenge Partners, a fully integrated New York City-based real estate company, is partnering with Yoga Month to host the first annual Stonehenge Yoga Month Series this September.

The series will kick-off with a memorial event on September 11 at the Ritz Plaza Fireman’s Memorial Park. A 90 minute slow flow Vinyasa yoga class will be led for all levels in honor and appreciation of the firefighters’ service. Live music will be provided by the September Concert Series (SeptemberConcert.org).

A family-friendly yoga festival benefiting Bent on Learning (BentOnLearning.org) is planned for September 24 at Stonehenge Village. With ongoing kids yoga classes, music, children’s activities and vendors, this event seeks to inspire healthy living in a fun-filled manner for all ages.

The final event of the series is in conjunction with Yoga Month’s culminating community practice, The Time for Yoga. On September 30, New Yorkers will have the opportunity to take part in this worldwide yoga practice in the comfort and luxury of ten Manhattan apartments. This innovative event will be followed by a celebration of healthy living, happy homes and community through yoga.

Office Yoga Stretch with LUNA

Luna Bar

Here at the Clif Bar headquarters, home to LUNA, we are lucky enough to have daily yoga classes. Abby, one of our yoga instructors, kept her day job as our HR manager, so she knows how hard it is to spend time sitting in your cube 5 days a week. Here’s a modified Garudasana yoga pose to keep your shoulders relaxed while working away at your desk:
  • Sit with both feet on the ground, hip-width apart.
  • Inhale; lift the crown of your head and stretch your arms out to the sides at shoulder height.
  • Exhale; cross your arms in front of your torso, right elbow on top of left elbow and bend your arms so your hands are at face height.
  • Cross your wrists pressing your left fingers into your right palm, slightly lifting your elbows and slowly breathe.
  • Release and repeat on the other side.

If your coworkers ask what you’re doing, guide them through this stretch so they’ll be as relaxed as you! To learn more about Luna, visit www.lunabar.com. Namaste from your friends here at LUNA!
