According to Unionnewsdaily.com, each summer, the Cranford yoga studio gives back to the community offering free classes at their “Rocks the Streets” event.

“Rocks the Streets” happened at Theodore Roosevelt Park, with nearly 300 people in attendance. Rock music by Aerosmith and Twisted Sister was blaring from speakers, as yoga enthusiasts of all ages – from children to seniors – warmed up on their mats. 

“It’s an event we’ve done for years,” said manager Rebecca Wall. “It’s one of our favorites we do every summer. It’s a way to give back to our community. Anyone who does yoga can see the direct impact on their mental health. Our community is really focused on bringing yoga off the mat and taking more time for presence and connection with other people and yourself. That’s one of the reasons yoga is so beneficial.” 

Alluem Yoga, owned by Gina Pachkowski, has been open for 16 years. This yearly event is very meaningful to Pachkowski. She said, “It’s a time to get together to be in the community – in love. There’s so much happening in the world.” She got choked up as she spoke. And that’s exactly what the yoga community loves about Pachkowski – her heart and spirit. She’s created a special dynamic, a safe place that’s welcoming for everyone.
