Pearl Yoga & Fitness

06/22/2026

When I decided to open a yoga studio in Keyport, my Dad was bewildered.

Because, like, what do you mean you have a solid career, you've invested a lot of money in educating that brain, and now you want to open a business with mediocre demand?😟

Heard and heeded, buuuuut I don't ignore dreams that keep showing up, and this was one of them.

Open Keyport's first yoga studio.💥

9 years later, incredibly proud and excited about what the future brings, I am letting Pearl, in brick-and-mortar form, go with the sale of the building.

My landlords recently inherited the property, and they have decided to sell it.

Truth is, I am good.

I am MORE than good.

MORE than fine.

The yoga studio was on God's PERFECT time - isn't everything?

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect timing.

I hope clients keep practicing yoga.

I hope they try new places.

I know I will.

Spiritual evolution is literally the point of it all.

It's happening whether we acknowledge it or not.

Whether we evolve in one direction or the other.

But, I digress.

Thank you to ALL the clients, family, friends, supporters, and dreamers alike for the past 9 years.

And my Dad got to see it make so many people feel better.

A super special shoutout to my homie Melanie Pfleger, who owned Pearl like it belonged to her, telling ME what's up 😅.

The next chapter awaits 😉.

Thank you to ALL who let Pearl be a part of THEIR chapter.

See you in the next wave🌊...

Gio doesn't want to go to the shelter.

His parent got ill and can't care for him.

He's currently at Hotel for Dogs in Middletown but can't stay there.

Pls share OR consider fostering xoxox.

A note from Janet:

I was stacking heat on top of heat and didn't even know it.
Cardio outdoors in the blazing sun.

Warm yoga in July.

Boardwalk pizza.

Rolls and French fries.

And then wondering why I felt like I was dragging myself through every day from June to September.

Then I learned an Ayurvedic principle that changed everything:
Likes increase likes. Opposites create balance.

I was adding fire to fire and expecting to feel good.

Once I got that, the shift was simple:

🌊 Ocean water to cool the heat

🧘‍♀️ Yin yoga instead of warm flows

🥒 Cucumber and avocado salads

🌿 Spices for the season

Ahhh... Much. Better.

That one principle rewired how I move through every summer since.
So when Pattiejean (Ayurveda practitioner and yoga instructor) asked what we should offer while she was in NJ this July, I said: let's give people something to cool and slow them down.
Think of the two of us together like a cool cloth on the back of your neck on the hottest day of the year.
That's the energy.

That's what this workshop feels like. 💎

You're allowed to put the world down.
I've been crying over situations I have no direct connection to.
Animals being harmed. People in countries I've never been to. Stories that surface on my feed and gut-punch me before I've even had breakfast.
Praying at night for so many people, so many places, so many living beings, and somewhere along the way it started to feel heavy. Like I was carrying something I wasn't built to carry.
Then within one week, I got the same message from two completely unrelated places.
A DJ on 99.1, crying over a video of a bird struck by a car, said: "We have to give ourselves permission to be present."
A yoga instructor I respect said she'd unfollowed all the pages pumping out grief about animal agriculture. Her reasoning? "They've already got me. I'm already a vegan."
Two voices. Same message. Seven days.
We were never meant to worry about every situation so far removed from us that we forget to care for what's right in front of us.
I'm not talking about closing our eyes. If a story moves you to action, beautiful. Run with it. That's a calling.
I'm talking about the perpetual scroll. The roll of the dice every time you open the app. The way our spirits sink under an algorithm we didn't choose.
Are we really honoring the people we love if our minds are always somewhere else? Always bracing for the next sad story?
This is your permission slip to put the world down for a minute.
Not forever. Not callously.
Just enough to remember you have a role to play right here, in your home, on your mat, with the people who share your air.
And that role matters, no matter how small it might seem.
We're not serving anyone by letting our spirits get buried under an algorithm.
