BACKGROUND:

Fyrefly Yoga Studio of Pennington believes in the virtues of multiple healing modalities. Interconnection is the key to physical, mental, and emotional fitness.  We take a mixed approach to wellness by offering yoga therapy, asana practice, movement arts, sound healing, and dance medicine.  Through mindfulness meditation, we open ourselves to the breath, beauty, and scope of the universe. We walk together on the path to catharsis and inner peace.

Through strategic land conservation and stewardship, D&R Greenway combats climate change, protects birds and wildlife, and ensures clean drinking water for future generations.
