SHINING BRIGHT FOR SUN SAFETY – rooftop style – at the Sweat for Smiles “Sunrise & Savasana” Party last month at Soho House NY. So grateful for all who came bright and early to support Shade Foundation, the only national children’s charity working to eradicate #skin #cancer.  Everyone who attended enjoyed yoga, sun safety tips, healthy sips & bites, goodies from Beyond Yoga, and more!  Everyone had a blast making time to indulge in fitness for a good cause.

Just in case you missed the party, here’s a quick recap!

Shade Foundation:

Shockingly, “1 in 5 Children grow up to develop skin cancer”. According to ShadeFoundation.org, “The Shade Foundation of America is the only national children’s foundation devoted to skin cancer education and prevention.The Shade Foundation’s mission is to eradicate skin cancer and melanoma through the education of children, parents, teachers and the community throughout the United States.”

 

Dr. Maggie Cadet:

Before we all began the yoga workout on the Soho House NY’s beautiful rooftop, Sweat for Smiles Wellness Contributor, and NYC Rheumatogist, Dr Maggie Cadet spoke to everyone about the importance of sun safety and share some tips.

Yoga by Molly Crossman:

Guests were thrilled to wake up their bodies with vinyasa yoga by superstar instructor, Molly Crossman. Molly led the group through yoga flow that accommodated guests of all levels – beginner to super advanced. For more from Molly, follow her socially @thenamastelife.

Molly and I wore sets from Beyond Yoga- they’re incredibly soft! I love the strong, luxurious material, and the leggings are high waisted (= super flattering). Check out their insta for more styles and inspiration!
Irina Jewelry NYC made me this gorgeous onyx bracelet – Onyx River Stone Adjustable Side Clasp. I love wearing her bracelets! Every bracelet has a special meaning such as confidence, endurance, etc. Check her out!
Oatmeal Chia Cup Bites were generously donated for the cause by Stylish Spoon! They were a huge hit, as always. I love Stylish Spoon because you can get it delivered as a subscription. These chia cups are an easy on-the-go breakfast for anyone who wants to eat healthy and needs breakfast to be fast (@stylishspoon).Guests hydrated and energized their bodies by sipping on Vita Coco and Super Coffee throughout the event.

Guests who donated to Shade Foundation received a raffle ticket for the chance to win prizes donated by T2 Tea, Irina Jewelry NYC, and Peter Thomas Roth.
