eZential Wellness Center with Gurukul Yoga Promises Big Changes with Addition of Holistic Therapies

Owner Lori Arrechea expanded upon the existing Gurukul Yoga studio with the addition of her eZential Wellness Center when she took over the business last May. Since then, she has been busy creating a fresh, relaxing space with the addition of updated features including hardwood floors in the yoga room. She has also beautified the studio by including a variety of healing modalities, including Reiki, nutritional classes and aromatherapy.

Lori, a yoga teacher and holistic health practitioner, explains that her goal is to empower the people who visit her studio by helping them “realize that health is really in their hands; they’re not a victim of being unhealthy, feeling lost or hopeless. They can find the tools to heal themselves and to feel better.” Ideally, she wants eZential Wellness Center to be considered as “more of a community center where people can connect physically with one another,” an innovative notion in our fast paced world of digital communication.

The yoga classes offered tend to be gentler, therapeutic and mind/body oriented—a perfect way to find balance in a stressful world. Many clients come to the eZential Wellness Center looking for relief from back and hip issues and find they are able to stop taking their pain medications altogether. The center offers nutrition classes in which Lori works one-on-one to identify the specific needs of her clients. With her guidance, they learn to modify their relationship with food. Additionally, there is a Reiki share the first Sunday of every month from 2-5 PM. This event is geared toward beginners who are curious about what Reiki is, as well as practitioners who are able to share their skills. The center also boasts a monthly free yoga class. The various workshops, events and class schedule can be viewed on the center’s website. Lori is excited about the opportunity to incorporate other healing modalities, along with yoga, to create a true wellness center.

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
