Guests came in festive green to Equinox Sports Club NY’s gorgeous yoga studio to generously support this important cause and enjoy a power yoga workout to sham-rockin’ tunes by celebrity yoga instructor Kristin Mcgee. The party continued with tips on “Eating Green” from special guest speaker and reknown NYC Rheumatologist, Dr. Maggie Cadet M.D., plus healthy sips & bites by Stylish Spoon, Health Warrior , and White Claw.
