The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders is pleased to announce that a free yoga and women’s wellness event will be held in celebration of the 2018 International Day of Peace on Sept. 21st from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Warinanco Sports Center in Union County’s Warinanco Park.
Officials say that as a suggested donation, participants are invited to bring a box or bag of feminine hygiene products. The donations will be given to the organization “Girls Helping Girls. Period,” in support of women in need.
“This event is an opportunity for women in Union County to connect with their peers, recharge their energy for the fall season, and raise awareness that many women and girls struggle to afford basic necessities that are often taken for granted, here in the U.S. and around the world,” said Freeholder Chairman Sergio Granados.
The International Day of Peace event is the latest in a series of popular wellness sessions for women offered through the Union County Office on Women, part of the Division of Outreach and Advocacy in the Department of Human Services.
The evening includes:
A networking session with a short talk and introduction by Jennifer Erdos, Coordinator, Union County Office on Women.
Yoga session by Nicole DeAugustine, certified yoga instructor.
Guided meditation ceremony by Betsy Sanders
According to organizers, the event begins at 6 p.m. and is expected to conclude at approximately 9 p.m. It is open to women age 16 and older, at any level of yoga skill from beginner to expert.
Attendees should wear comfortable clothing appropriate for yoga, and bring their own yoga mats.
The event is free but space is limited. Pre-registration is required online at ucnj.org/womans-yoga.
