WELCOME BACK TO OUR WELLNESS SERIES!
Immerse yourself in an experience you won’t find anywhere else. Start with:
1) a yoga experience under the soft, Autumn sun on the quiet, relaxing farm grounds and end with
2) a relaxing walk through Tru2Earth Farm to pick ripe berries in season (currently Organic strawberries & blackberries)!
Meet local community members, friends of the farm, practice yoga and set your intention for the day outside with the farm chickens cooing in the background (and an occasional visit from a friendly rabbit if you’re lucky).

Your instructor:
CHRISTENE JOY MANGLAL-LAN GONZALES
Hello, there! My name is Christene Joy Manglal-lan Gonzalesand I am incredibly honored to be part of your Tru2earth experience.
I am the CEO (Courageous Equanimous Officer) and founder of Lead with JOY, who uplifts overwhelmed and high-functioning parents, educators, and creators to disrupt the cycle of feeling stuck and exhausted by connecting to their JOY and inner compass. Together, we disrupt self-abandonment patterns and liberate the Self. I express this gift by holding compassionate space for individuals and groups as a Trauma-Informed Leadership Coach and Holistic Yoga Instructor.
Practicing Yoga was the first thing that gave me a whole body cathartic release back in 2015 - by moving my body and focusing on myself, I cracked open. Now, through Trauma-Informed Coaching, Culturally-Aware Intergenerational Care, and Holistic Yoga, I get to hold safe and deep space for my fellow busy, yet empathetic human siblings to do the same - to nourish their bodies, empower the mind, liberate the heart, and to embrace wholeness with their spirit.
Some of you may know me as the resident Yoga Instructor for our local Fitness19 gym and the Morgan Hill Yoga Collective. Centering on Yoga, I also had the honor of guiding the Bay Area Panthers Indoor Football Team 2023 League Champs, currently partnered with San Jose State University’s Student Wellness Center guiding a “Empowerment Through Yoga” series, guiding monthly “Yoga in the Gallery” at Cura Contemporary in downtown Morgan Hill, and have collaborated with many more local Bay Area businesses and organizations.
To me, JOY simply means to [J]ust [O]wn [Y]ourself and I look forward to connecting YOU to your JOY soon!
Join us for the return of our Wellness Series at the Farm: Yoga & U-Pick Offering at Tru2Earth Farm in Gilroy, where you will practice yoga under the light, warm Autumn sun in the peaceful farm with yoga instructor Christene Joy then enjoy a walk through the farm to pick your favorite berries, shop for veggies, etc.!
Christene will guide a Gentle Yoga offering - a mindfully-paced practice that incorporates gentle body movement, breathwork, and meditation. This offering will help you center and ground, taking the time to pay attention to your body and what you need from the practice. It incorporates a flow to it that is perfect for beginners and all levels.
