Yoga & Breakfast: Raising Money for The Whole Planet Foundation

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

On the heals of a great month for philanthropy at Zobha, we are excited to share some highlights from one of our local events we did here in Mill Valley.

Zobha partnered with Whole Foods Market, Gaiam and YogaWorks Studios to put on an event that raised money for the Whole Planet Foundation, which helps families in need in third world countries.

On a beautiful Saturday morning over President’s Day weekend, we gathered at the Whole Foods Market in Mill Valley, CA for a donation based yoga class led by one of Zobha’s Circle of Grace members, Lisa Rueff. We had a great turn out for the yoga class and people of all ages came to participate in the event. It was my first time doing yoga outside, and let me tell you, it was a game changer! It’s so nice to do a sun salutation and actually be able to look up at the sun shining down on you!

Following the yoga class we had an amazing breakfast catered by Whole Foods.  Check out more photos from the day on our Facebook page.

The Zobha team was so grateful to be included in this great event and it was such a success that we, along with the other partners from that day, are all working together to plan another Whole Planet Foundation fundraiser around the Spring Equinox in March! Stay tuned for details!

 

With Grace,

Jen + The Zobha Team.

3 Tips to Simplify your Workout:

1.       Grab your sneakers and embrace the outdoors.  (And soak up some sun at the same time.) There’s nothing more basic then lacing up your sneakers and taking a run around your neighborhood! Try sites like mapmyrun.com to help you find the best route from your front door.

2.       Find a comfortable spot in your home to do a 30-minute circuit of wall squats, abs, push-ups and jumping jacks.  All you need is open floor space and 30-minutes of motivation. Here are a few options for circuit workouts you can try today: http://bit.ly/X7D3Jv

3.       Lay down your yoga mat and take yourself through this sequence of poses and hold each pose for one minute.  (Downward Facing Dog, High Lunge, Chair Pose, Eagle Pose, Half Moon Pose, Revolved Side Angle Pose, Dolphin Pose).  Repeat three times.

 

With just 30 minutes you can fit a quick workout into your day without leaving home!

Zobha’s Valentine’s Day Date Ideas

Friday, February 8th, 2013

What are your Valentine’s Day plans?

We took a poll around the office and gathered the top five Valentine’s Day date ideas that will make this Valentine’s Day one to remember.

Have a Picnic

If the weather is nice, embrace the outdoors with your favorite snack and beverage of choice.  If the weather is less than promising, bring the picnic indoors to your living room and add some candlelight. 

 

Take a Cooking Class

Learn while you create new memories and enjoy a delicious meal with your loved one.

Watch a Comedy Show

What better way to spend time together than enjoying a night of laughter?  Keep it simple and watch a comedy show on television in the comfort of your own home, or head downtown to see the show in person!

Enjoy a Couples Massage

Pamper yourselves and enjoy a relaxing massage with the one you love most.  You will both walk away feeling refreshed and connected.

Make a Couples Bucket List

Take turns writing down a handful of things each of you aspire to do and as a result you will make an exciting list of future dates.
