Yoga Class to Benefit Avenel Fire Victims

The free class will be collecting donations at Comfort & Balance Saturday morning.


Grab your yoga mat and head over to in Sewaren next Saturday, where you can get enjoy a free yoga class and help the victims of last month’s apartment fire in Avenel at the same time.

The Outdoor Beginners Yoga Class is a free event, open to all ages and yoga levels.  Donations are encouraged, as 100% of the donations collected will benefit the Avenel Apartment Fire Victims.  An anonymous donor box will be out at the class so those interested can donate cash, checks, or active gift cards.

The class runs from 9-10 AM on August 25th, though those wishing to attend are asked to arrive by 8:50 for check-in.  Those wishing to take the class are also advised to bring a large beach towel to place under their yoga mat.  The class takes place in the back lot of Comfort & Balance (83 Woodbridge Avenue, Sewaren) and is a rain-or-shine event.

The outdoor event is a beginners class and is slow paced, informative, and appropriate for all yoga levels from beginner to seasoned Yogis.  Nicolette Reiser of Comfort & Balance is donating her time to teach the class.

Through the month of August, 100% of money collected by Comfort & Balance for sales of water or mat rentals at the studio will also be donated to the McCormac Community Charity Fund, where it will then be distributed to the Avenel apartment fire victims.
