More than 100 yogis and yoginis are expected to attend Yoga100, the first in a series of events Sept. 14-16 celebrating the life and work of Peace Pilgrim, who vowed to remain a wanderer until mankind learned the way of peace. The event, which kicks off the city’s fifth annual Peace Pilgrim Celebration, will be held from 7-9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14 at the Egg Harbor City Community School, 730 Havana Ave. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Peace in One’s Self, Peace in the World.”
Certified yoga instructors Stevee Simone Wolos, Naida Burgess and Ronnie Russo will lead an hour of yoga suitable for novices, intermediate and advanced practitioners. The practice includes a live performance by jazz guitarist Gina Roche.“If you haven’t tried yoga, this is your opportunity to find out how it can bring inner strength and peace. Those who are experienced practitioners can enjoy a relaxing class that will enable them approach the weekend with clarity and acceptance,” said event organizer Nanette LoBiondo Galloway. Marcello Spinella, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, will close Yoga100 with a 30-minute guided meditation designed to alleviate stress, enhance well-being and bring inner peace.
