It's all going down today! New mural is underway, and we're hyped to see how it turns out!

🌺 Happy Spring Equinox!! 🌼

On the equinox, day and night are almost perfectly equal. After this point, the days start getting longer, meaning more light, more warmth, more growth. It's time to be out with nature & friends!

This is your reminder that life is always finding its way back to balance- light and dark, effort and ease, strength and play.

Today we move, we breathe, we laugh a little more, and maybe take ourselves a little less seriously.

✨Meet Bethany!!✨ She's the newest addition to the BZN family and she is taking over the Thursday 4:30pm Zen Strength. This New Jersey native has been teaching for the last 1.5 years and we are so excited to bring her energy to this community. Let's learn more about her!

1- Tell us about your first yoga class:

my first yoga class was a hot flow at lifetime fitness when I was in high school. I was grounded at the time, which is ironically the way I learned about grounding. I was hella confused, equally as intrigued, and excited to have found a new form of movement that felt good

2- Top three favorite songs of all time:

Pride & joy by Stevie ray vaughan and Albert king
Back home by a$AP Rocky
Young lust by Pink Floyd

3- If you could go back five years, what advice would you give yourself?

I would tell her that everything you’ve been told is limited to the scope of that persons experience, and we’re all just figuring it out day by day. Listen to yourself & you’ll never be misled (& if u r then pick yourself up and learn from it)

4- What's a small gesture by a stranger that made a big difference?

when I was in line at a store and short on change, the person behind me covered the rest. I still think about it & try to do the same for others

5- What makes you feel alive?

live music and movement
