cOMmunity


We hope you're soaking up the warm rays of the sun as you prepare to transition into a new season. After a beautiful summer its harder than usual to move forward but this is the perfect time to look ahead to all the new and inspiring challenges awaiting us as we return to a more settled routine. This is also the perfect time to check in with our vibrant yoga community. In the last six months we have added many new classes, weaved monthly themes, welcomed new teachers and trained new teachers, chanted at Kirtan together, and explored the many different petals of yoga in workshops, classes, and on retreats.

This fall season we want to welcome you hOMe to Devotion where friendships are always being formed, moments of peace and relaxation gained, egos forgotten, and hearts opened.

Join us for some exciting new classes, events and trainings during the next few months. Check out the unique candle-lit Storytelling Devotion Rocks for Charity event this Friday, a special Eat Pray Love class & discussion, a rocking weekend of Anusara yoga with Julie Dohrman, and much more!

And to top it all off…we have decided to offer new packages and memberships - many at a lower price - for you to practice at both of our Hoboken studios! Uptown and Downtown together makes up our amazing Hoboken Yoga Community!

We are super excited to share all this with you and to continue to celebrate our Devotion cOMmunity!

with gratitude,

Liza & Patrick

DEVOTION ROCKS FOR CHARITY

Uptown Hoboken Studio
Suggested Donation - minimum $5
No reservations so get there early!

A One-of-a-kind Candlelit Community Gathering with Yoga, Storytelling & Treats!

Join us for an intimate candlelit asana practice that will include storytelling of yogic themes and philo

sophy told by professional storyteller and yoga instructor,

Julie Pasqual. Stay for the gathering afterwards!

One of the few things as ancient as the practice of yoga, is the art of storytelling.  Long ago, the community would gather by the fire, to listen to tales of truth, love, compassion, courage, unity and peace - in other words, stories that embody the heart centered philosphy of yoga. To help re-create that feeling of sangha (community), professional storyteller and yoga instructor, Julie Pasqual, will perform some of the folktales and legends that encompass yogic themes, before infusing these concepts into a flowing, fun, energizing, yet centering physical asana practice. 

The organization we are supporting this month is: Storytelling Arts, a group Julie does storytelling performances for in at risk populations like prisons, shelters, and special education schools. Website is www.storytellingarts.net.
