ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 20, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Béla, the Atlanta-based wellness beverage start-up brand from Althea Brands LLC, announced today that it will be the presenting partner of \u201cYoga by the Water,\u201d Georgia Aquarium\u2019s monthly yoga event, through 2020. All proceeds from the sponsorship will go towards Georgia Aquarium\u2019s research and conservation efforts.<\/p>\n

\nYoga by the Water is Atlanta\u2019s biggest monthly recurring Yoga event, attracting Yoga practitioners from around the metro area. Sessions take place in the magnificent Oceans Ballroom, offering incredible views of manta rays and whale sharks. Classes are led by teachers from local Yoga studios, and with a limited capacity of 225 attendees, it gets sold out every month.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiving back to our local community is integral to Béla, and I\u2019m really excited that our first-ever sponsorship will support Georgia Aquarium\u2019s research and conservation efforts,\u201d said Atul Agarwal, Béla\u2019s Founder and CEO. \u201cWe have been contributing 1% of revenue to support girls\u2019 health and empowerment locally, and I\u2019m grateful to Georgia Aquarium for giving us an opportunity to significantly increase our community support in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

Béla was born out of Atul\u2019s efforts to find herbal therapies for his wife\u2019s health challenges, which led to a regime of Yoga, exercise and herbal infusions that proved very effective. Inspired by Ayurveda, the ancient sister-science of Yoga, Béla combines ancient ingredients like Turmeric, Tulsi, Ginger and Amla with minerals and vitamins in 0 sugar, 0 calorie blends. Launched in Spring 2018, Béla is now sold in over 50 local Yoga studios, gyms and stores, as well as on Amazon.com, and will be expanding to regional and national retail stores in 2020.<\/p>\n
