Bend & Snapware Yoga Event with Kristin McGee

This past Saturday I was lucky enough to attend the Bend & Snapware Yoga Event with Kristin McGee. The event was hosted by Snapware, a company that basically helps you organize everything, seriously! Snapware has TONS of food storage solutions, in both glass and plastic, to meet your everyday needs.

I was very happy to see a few of my social media runner buddies at the event like Nellie from Brooklyn Active Mama and Nicole from Fitful Focus (first time meeting in person)! I was also introduced to Stephanie from Football Food & Motherhood. It’s always great to talk with other people who share the same passion for health and fitness!

The yoga class was led by the incredible Kristin McGee. This was my first yoga class with Kristin and I really enjoyed it. It makes me wish I lived in NYC so I could take more of her classes! She led us through a challenging, but very effective yoga routine. I felt like all my muscles were doing a happy dance by the time the class was over!

After taking the yoga class I felt great. I was still sore from my workouts that week, but I didn’t feel as tight. As runners, we tend to have tight hips and hamstrings, so yoga is great to incorporate into our weekly workout routine. For the past year I keep saying that I’m going to get more diligent about adding yoga to my routine but of course I never do. After this class I decided to at least get in one yoga class per week. I’ve already kept my promise to myself by attending a yoga class on Tuesday night so I’m off to a good start!

After the class, we were able to enjoy healthy breakfast food provided by FreshDirect.

When the event was over, we were provided swag bags with tons of items, including a Snapware total solutions 12 piece set and Vintage Charm mixing bowls from Pyrex!

I would like to give a huge THANK YOU to Snapware for the inivte to this event, Kristin McGee for leading us in a great yoga class and FreshDirect for the amazing food!
