Lori

A Place for Harmony, Healing & Happiness

Lori Arrechea began her yoga journey over 20 years ago, when her children were young, and she longed for something to help her relax and unwind. In 2003, she began taking yoga classes at her local YMCA, and loved it so much, she became a certified yoga instructor. She then transitioned to teaching classes of her own, and sharing the practice with others wherever she could; such as local gyms, corporate fitness centers, churches, and private homes around Somerset County. However, all this traveling, had her longing to consolidate her teachings into one special place, and establish a yoga community for her accumulating roster of students. Soon, her dream became a reality, when she created eZential Wellness, and found the perfect location in Branchburg, NJ.  Now, along with a group of dedicated and thoughtful yoga instructors, reiki practitioners, and event facilitators, Lori hopes everyone will find eZential Wellness their place for finding harmony, healing and happiness on their own wellness journey.

Happy Yogi Testimonials

After attending eZential Wellness classes for more than 6 years, I still wake up every Monday looking forward to attending Lori’s Soothing Stretch class. I find it incredibly rewarding to begin the week with a gentle and full body wake up. I also take and enjoy other classes regularly, such as a Yoga for Spinal Health and Yoga Basics. All of these classes have helped me to build core strength and increase flexibility, which have been extremely beneficial for my overall health. As a bonus, several fellow students I’ve met along the way have become valued friends.

The studio is very neat and clean, and it gives a warm and soothing feeling when you walk in. I like the various events offered throughout the month to try something new. I also enjoy the small gift shop and lounge area for tea and conversation. My favorite classes are Soothing Stretch and Spinal Health; these classes are easy to follow which relaxes your mind and body. I appreciate the time before classes to talk with other students and share what is going on around us. The virtual classes offered during the pandemic were incredibly appreciated; I felt like I was still at the studio. I have taken yoga at several places in the past 15 years, but want to say that this is the best yoga place I have been so far that has classes for all levels from beginners to advanced.

I have been a yoga student at Ezential Wellness since it’s conception and have always found it to be a positive and uplifting environment. Over the years, I have taken a variety of classes and feel each of the instructors, has something unique to offer. Classes range from gentle stretching and meditation, to more challenging routines. There is always an emphasis on achieving your personal best, in a non-competitive setting. During the Covid Pandemic, Lori kept classes going, despite all the challenges! These classes and the comraderie that accompanies them, have truly been an integral part of this yoga community’s support system for the past year and a half! We look forward to the days ahead, Namaste.

I can’t get enough of this place! I tried the 30-day unlimited classes in search of a best class or favorite teacher. After trying 8 classes and 5 teachers I gave up since I really enjoyed them all. Each time I walk through the door I immediately feel relaxed. The welcoming room is very clean and friendly, and designed to put one at ease with its natural light, comfortable chairs, and even a small store. No need to feel self-conscious if you are new to yoga. (I know since I’ve been doing gym yoga for 2 years in a crowded room full of physically fit people half my age!) The unique shape of the yoga room provides you with good visibility of the instructor from any vantage point. I could not help but notice the smaller private session rooms are very neat, spacious and well-designed. Even the bathrooms are exceptionally clean!

Our instructor Deepak, is wonderful . We are “guided” through our session and all the positions are explained simply and easy to follow. We are reminded to perform to the best of our abilities and never feel pressured to be “perfect”. I always have a great sensation of exhilaration after the class and a good sense of accomplishment as I can do more each week.I recently signed up for an additional 10 sessions.

I was always curious about whether yoga would be something for me as I am not in the best of physical shape. I signed up for the Thursday night men’s class and was delighted by the experience.

I began practicing yoga 8 years ago with Lori as my instructor and she made me comfortable as a newbie. I am always made to feel comfortable within the group and have found a class suited to my ability. I look forward to each session. I still make mistakes, but nobody notices. I always leave feeling better.

I have been taking yoga classes from Lori for 10 years now. I never thought I’d be such a fan. The benefits of yoga in my life have been beyond compare. Stretching and maintaining strength and flexibility have been most important for me. But the meditation aspect is just as essential, the ability to relax my mind and clear my head. And as I get older, I rely on yoga more and more. I give Lori a lot of credit for making me a believer! She’s a great teacher, and she has created a welcoming cheerful and calming environment at the Yoga Center – her classes are a good blend of workout and relaxation… I always leave with a peaceful, happy vibe.

I find my yoga classes at this studio both relaxing and energizing, especially with my busy schedule and stress at work. I really miss my the practice when I cannot go, but It is that same schedule that makes it sometimes hard to find time to get to devote to myself. Luckily I am always able to find a class on Saturday or in the evenings that fits my schedule and I always feel very welcome.

Thanks to the spinal health class, my back feels better than it has in years! The class is held in a serene, beautiful room and the instruction is perfect. I always leave the class feeling calm and refreshed.

eZential Wellness is a very welcoming center. The instructors are knowledgeable and while demonstrating the poses, they suggest modifications and encourage everyone to do the pose to their own capabilities. The nutritional counseling is also outstanding. She tailors her advice to the client’s lifestyle and goals leading to a plan of action that is more likely to be continued long after the counseling sessions are completed.

Since joining Ezential Wellness, I no longer have unexplained severe back pains and I no longer need to wear a knee brace. The space is relaxing and beautifully arranged for yoga, meditation, and other classes. In addition, the knowledge of healthful advice has helped me to quickly tend to my health as well as my granddaughter's.

Coming to eZential Wellness Center is like walking into a peace sanctuary. Always good vibes whether as a participant for the different events, or as an instructor of qi gong classes. Lori has made my journey there with ease and joyful anticipation every time I arrive for a class. You'll love coming to any of the various events and classes and leave with a complete feeling of peace.
