Yoga Lights, Bollywood Nights

To celebrate Diwali, the Summit Area YMCA will bring a little piece of the festival of lights to you! During the weekend of Friday, October 21 through Monday, October 31, our Yoga and Bollywood group exercise classes will be transformed into an experience that celebrates Diwali, our diversity and love of all cultures!

We will be introducing Diwali candle-lit practices and music used to celebrate Diwali's beautiful celebration of lights signifying the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair.

Join us on an inclusive experience to honor and celebrate the beautiful cultures in our community, healthy living and social responsibility!

In 1886, we were founded as the Young Men's Christian Association, but today, we are The Y. An association that values, and is made stronger by, its diverse people. We stand for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility — For a better us. We are committed to creating equal opportunity for all regardless of gender, age, disability, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious affiliation. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive culture in which our four core values — responsibility, honesty, caring and respect — are integral to everyday operations.

Each year, as one of the area’s leading 501(c)3 charitable organizations, the Summit Area YMCA serves more than 15,000 individuals with our free and fee-based programs and services in an area spanning the New Jersey communities of Berkeley Heights, Gillette, Millburn, New Providence, Short Hills, Springfield, Stirling and Summit. Our history is rooted in working side-by-side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Through the generosity of our members, donors, and partners, we are able to offer financial assistance for our programs and services to those in need.
