Blogger Meetup At Studio Anya

March 5, 2017 By Melanie 5 Comments

studio anya meetup 3

What do you get when you bring together 15 fitness enthusiasts at a very Instagrammable aerial yoga studio in NYC? A whole lot of flying, flipping and fun!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of hosting my very first Fitness & Lifestyle Blogger Meetup at Studio Anya in Flatiron. I was so excited to bring to fruition what had begun as a random idea a few months earlier. After stumbling upon Anya on Instagram and realizing it was on ClassPass, I knew I had to give the studio a try. I instantly fell in love with the bright, airy space with it’s array of window lined foliage and lavender silks hanging from the ceiling. Aerial yoga has been such a great addition to my traditional yoga practice – so much so that I wanted to share it with others in THIS blog post.

It wasn’t long after I wrote the post that I started to get tons of messages and emails from Instagram friends expressing their interest in taking a class together at Anya. I guess you can say the idea of a Meetup just seemed like the best way to make this possible! I loved the idea of bringing people together – some of whom I had never met in real life – to enjoy a fun, healthy activity. Obviously, the fact that it would result in some awesome photos was just a huge perk. 😉

Thankfully the amazing team at Anya was super on board with the idea of a Blogger Meetup and made the planning incredibly easy on my part. I’ll admit, I was really nervous that no one would show up! So much so that I had originally asked Anya if they would be willing to post on their Instagram to get more people excited, if my post didn’t generate enough interest.

You guys… I was blown away with how fast the slots filled up after my announcement. You all filled up the class within the first 48 hours!! Seriously, thank you so much for wanting to come and fly with me!

On the day of the Meetup, I had the pleasure of hanging out with all the amazing girls who I had mostly only interacted with on Instagram. And I have to say… we had such a great time!! Sunny led us through a 45 minute inversion filled class, teaching us all the awesome tricks and flips that make aerial yoga so thrilling. Afterwards, Anya kept the studio space open for us for another 30 minutes so we could do what a bunch of bloggers do best, take photos!

Here are a few of my favorites:

And I think the below photo captures one of everyone’s favorite moves. Yep, betcha never thought butt floss could look this graceful.😂

Thank you to all the wonderful people who came out and posted about the event! For the girls that were waitlisted, don’t worry, Anya has graciously agreed to let me host another Meetup in May. And this time I’ll probably have a few goodie bags for all of you too.

More details to come! In the meantime please go and follow all the gals who attended. They’re pretty damn inspiring if you ask me.

    Any chance you can share with me the steps to get into this pose? Thank you! It’s beautiful! https://headstandsandheels.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/aerial-yoga-studio-anya.jpg
    It’s the one where the legs are wrapped, and the silk comes up in the center of the legs.
    Thank you!

It may technically still be winter here in NYC but I’m dreaming that I’m laying on a tropical beach somewhere. 🏝🛁 Thankfully I have my tub, a loving husband who puts up with my shenanigans and these super delicious @yasso Chocolate Dipped Greek Yogurt bars to help create the right vibes!! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been a huge fan of Yasso bars for years and was SO excited when they released these chocolate dipped bars! 🥰 They’ve got such a great crunch on the outside and the same creamy, deliciousness on the inside. 🙌🏻 I love how indulgent they taste while also being less calories than similar frozen treats on the market. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can’t promise that they’ll magically transport you to a tropical paradise but I have a feeling you’re going to love them regardless. 😉 Which flavor would you reach for? Mint Chocolate Chip, Vanilla, Sea Salt Caramel, or Peanut Butter? #WorkingWithYasso

Just a very real moment in my day to day life… a
Just a very real moment in my day to day life... a glam face to shoot for a brand 💄 (spot the tripod in the window), a shirt with no pants and slippers, two completely unpolished nails 💅🏻, a giant pile of clothes on the floor because I’ve let my laundry 🧺 get the best of me, and a mirror that desperately needs to be dusted. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s easy to make everything on Instagram look super polished and put together. ✨ I can omit certain aspects of my life, my home, my schedule — and you would never know. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The reality is no matter how perfect someone’s life may appear on the outside, you may never see the full picture. It’s a good lesson to: 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Stop comparing your own life to the highlights of others ✋🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Give yourself a little grace for falling behind on work, chores, relationships, etc. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Treat people with extra kindness, always. 💕Because we’re all deserving of that and the person you speak with today may just need a little bit of encouragement to turn their day around. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sending you all love and hugs 🤗. #RealityCheck

It may be winter outside, but I'm channeling all the Spring vibes indoors! 💐 Unfortunately I can't trick my dry skin into acting like it's not winter, which means my entire skincare routine is focused on being gentle, nourishing and hydrating. 🥰 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You all know how much I've been loving the @yesto Avocado collection and the #yesto Daily Cream Cleanser is truly one of the biggest stars for me. 🥑I love how creamy and rich the lather is! Plus it's fragrance-free, cruelty-free and made from 95% natural ingredients (including avocado oil)! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Definitely recommend adding this to your winter skincare must haves. #yestoambassador Shop it now at @ultabeauty 🎉💕

Happiness can be found in the simplest of things:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☀️ Sunshine and “Spring” weather after weeks of winter gloom 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐶 The enthusiastic way a dog greets you after you’ve only left your home for 5 min 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🪴 Watching a new baby leaf pop up in a plant 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☕️ The mesmerizing way milk mixes with espresso to form an iced latte 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧘🏻‍♀️ Feeling so strong during a workout that you catch yourself smiling because you’re actually having fun 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍪 The smell of freshly baked cookies 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎶 When a song comes on that gives you ALL THE FEELS and transports you back in time 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📖 That part in a good book that makes you stay up an extra hour because you just can’t put it down 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤗 Texting a friend something random but their response just shows how much they “get you”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌈 And the knowledge that no matter how hard things may be, there will always be brighter days ahead
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wishing you all a very happy Friday!! Thank you to @nutritionsqueezed and @morehealthyjoy for requesting to see Chip & Nina! 🐶 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And thank you to ALL of you who put in specific content requests this week. It was so fun letting you “takeover” my account! 💕 #MyHappyHome


What’s your go to healthy breakfast? 🍳 🍌🫐 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are 6 of my personal favorites but the two I probably have on repeat are Greek yogurt and oatmeal. 🤪 Because let’s be real, they really only serve as vehicles for yummy toppings like chia jam, nut butter, caramelized bananas, granola, fresh fruit and sometimes if I’m feeling really dangerous... chocolate. 🥰 🍫 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks to @camilikeatanktop, @astepfullofyou and @beaerdelyszky for requesting another art doodle. 🎨 Went back to colored pencils for this one! #BreakfastIdeas #ArtHour

There are all kinds of studies that share how plants have been known to increase productivity and provide an emotional boost... and although I can’t speak for anyone else, filling my home with these green beauties has 💯% helped me on mentally tough days. 🪴✨

I've been taking two of these Vitamin D and Saffron filled gummies every morning and can honestly say they've been such an easy (and important) part of my morning routine. 👏🏻

I'm always down to add a little more color and sunshine into my life, so you can bet I was super excited to try these NEW Hello Happy Gummy Worms from @ollywellness!! ☀️

When the vitamins I have taste good, I'm so much better at taking them regularly. 🍊🍍Anyone else relate? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Alongside the gummy worms I'm also trying out OLLY's Sleep gummies which taste like blackberry and are filled with melatonin and botanicals to promote a more restful sleep. 💤 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! If you'd like to try them for yourself, you can find them at @target! Which one would you reach for? 🤔#happyinsideout #sponsored
