Sea Isle City Is Becoming a Hotspot for Celebrity Fundraisers in New Jersey

In the aftermath of the COVID-19 Pandemic, there was a spike in the popularity of outdoor fitness activities. From the growth of pickleball to running clubs, Americans are trying to get outside for their health more than in previous decades.

According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, approximately 16 percent of United States residents practice Yoga, and 34 million US Citizens are habitual attendees of yoga classes.

In recent years, Outdoor Yoga has grown in popularity, so much so that one celebrity was in her favorite South Jersey Shore Town, and helped raise money for charity with yoga.

Speaking of the Eagles, also this upcoming weekend is the annual Make The World Better Pickleball Tournament hosted by former Eagles Linebacker Connor Barwin.
