Faith Based Yoga
One Voice, Honor Yoga Flemington and the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey partnered to bring a Faith Based Yoga program to the community. The evening included breathwork, meditation, gentle yoga and a sound bath for youth, parents and clergy to create a calming and welcoming environment.

An enormous thank you to Honor Yoga for donating the beautiful space and Deacon Michelleslie for bringing this idea to the table!
