What’s New for 2022 at Be Here Now Yoga

Nestled in Flemington is a small studio:  Be Here Now Yoga. Studio owner and ERYT-500 yoga teacher Karen Walsh is excited to offer new classes, new student specials, and “I Can’t Do Yoga” Yoga. To encourage newcomers, the studio is offering a new student 3-pack for $25 and the 4th class is free. 

“I Can’t Do Yoga” Yoga is a great start for those who think they aren’t flexible enough, are too old or too round. It’s also great for those who are just new to yoga. The 3-week series begins January 22, and teaches basic poses, breath awareness and the body connection. Classes are held in studio and on Zoom. 

New classes include Fit and Flex, an invigorating class intended to lift the heart rate and build muscle, all while flowing through classic yoga poses. YinYasa, a blend of yang (active yoga) with yin (passive yoga). YinYasa allows students to ease into their practice with slow, nourishing stretches as we build up to moderately paced standing sequences, connecting our breath to movement, ending with deep stretching.

Additional classes include Gentle Yoga, Yoga for Core, Yoga for Low Back and Prime of Life Yoga™, and more. See the website for full calendar.

Yoga is for everyone. Let 2022 be the year to begin, begin again, or continue your yoga experience.

In-Print, Community January 2022
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.
