The Yard, a co-working space with locations in New York and other major US cities, is more than just a place for established businesses to set-up shop. It is where community and culture is created to inspire success. The Yard’s art program, interactive community events and newly established Wellness Program sets The Yard apart from other workspaces.

The new quarterly wellness event series named BE WELL focuses on improving the members’ minds and bodies by bringing in partners from the health and wellness fields, local experts, brands and other organizations for open dialogue and education. The first event was headed up by The Yard’s Operations Manager Gabriella Truglio where her experience as a Health Coach and her own practice called TRU HAUS helped bring the topic of wellness to life. The evening consisted of meditation, education and health brands showcasing their best products.

A wellness marketplace was spread throughout The Yard’s expansive building and included representatives from burgeoning brands such as Vital Proteins, Modestine Tea, Soozy’s, Lavido, Mowellens, Ollie’s Fizzies, Temple Turmeric, Even Keel Soap,  Virtue Labs, Juice Society and Virtue Labs to major brands like Equinox and SoulCycle.

Throughout the evening various discussions took place with panelists from Mowellens, Vie Meditation, Human@Ease and Body By Emily, moderated by The Yard. A standout moment of the evening was a large meditation session that helped guests relax after a long day in the city.

A massive spread of local produce was provided by Gotham Greens so guests could create a healthy salad after experiencing the interactive elements of the evening. Drinks were brought to The Yard by Harmless Harvest,  Juice Society and Superlost Coffee.
