Boutique Studio in Far Hills Grows

After almost four years of residency in the idyllic town of Far Hills, Trepta Yoga has certainly made a positive name for itself and continues to aim at expanding its reach and offerings in the name of health and wellness for all.

Founded by Erica Jung 500 E-RYT in 2011, Trepta has become synonymous with quality and care in an industry flooded with options. Jung left a budding and beloved career in nursing when she simply couldn’t accept how many patients were facing stress related issues and knew there was a better way to treat them, and that started at the root, not the symptom. Having already trained for two months in India in the Science of Yoga, Jung started applying integrative health to her Western medicine setting to overwhelming response. This inspired creating Trepta which means “thirst for knowledge” with the intention of empowering people to take their own health and happiness into their own hands.

“People can tell you how you should feel or be to attain happiness, but nothing is more powerful than experiencing it for yourself,” says Jung. “That’s Trepta. We just hold the space for you and give you the tools.”

If you were looking for something different that’s much more than meets the eye, you’ve found your home here.

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
