Exciting News!
Zen's Very Own App &
New Partnership with Fit Degree
When our members view our schedules, book classes and workshops, pay for services and products, and ALL other activities, we want the process to be user-friendly, streamlined and as simple as possible.
With our previous software system, we experienced many challenges that had often been a burden on our members. Keeping true to our commitment to provide the absolute best member experience, we are so excited to announce, that after LOTS of research, we have partnered with a new platform, called Fit Degree, and also now have our very own Zen Yoga member app!
Our members will be able to view our class calendar, register for classes, customize their memberships and so much more!
Downloading the app is super simple! Here are the links to the app, depending on your device:
As you check out the new app, you may notice the price increases on memberships and class passes that go into effect for new members and new purchases for 2023. Our price increase was not an easy decision to make to say the least; however, was necessary due to rising inflation costs across the board.
Our top priority is to provide you with a clean and safe space with knowledgeable instructors that bring you peace and well-being. That being said, we have added numerous additional classes, as well as several new instructors - all to provide you with even more options for your chosen level of membership. We hope you are able to take advantage of the added value.
We want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding throughout our efforts to improve this part of the business. We are so excited for this change!

Partner Yoga
with Jenna
Saturday 1/7 4:30-6pm
Back by popular demand!
Have you ever wanted to try something new with your yoga practice or fitness routine? Have you ever wished your husband, wife or best friend would try yoga because you love it so much? Join instructor Jenna Mooney and her yoga partner Chuck in this fun event.
Partner yoga is a wonderful way to share time, create an experience, and have fun with someone you trust. Creating postures with the assistance and support of another person can bring depth to a yoga practice in ways you can not attain alone. Trust, appreciation, compassion and respect grow when you move through postures in coordination with another being. Intentional human support offers so much more than any strap, block or bolster.
$50/Twosome
*Limited to 18 people, so register early!

Yoga Nidra with Lori
Sunday 1/8 6:30-7:30pm
Sunday evenings at Zen are all about relaxation and recharging, and we are so excited to offer Yoga Nidra into the mix!
Yoga Nidra is a powerful meditation technique, and one of the easiest yoga practices to develop and maintain. While you rest comfortably in savasana (corpse pose), this systematic meditation takes you through a process that will leave you with a sense of wholeness and rest.
Adding Nidra into your practice, calms the nervous system, leading to less stress and better overall health. It offers a space to explore what you need in the moment, as well as an opportunity to work on releasing long-held emotions.
Included in Membership or $18 Drop-In

Meet Zen's
𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧 𝙊𝙛 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝
for January,
Colleen Fay!
Our Warrior of the Month is a studio member that is kind, inspirational and uplifts others. We think qualities like this should be shared and celebrated!
This month, get to know Colleen!
Q. How long have you been practicing at Zen Yoga & Wellness?
A. I started this past July. It's been the best thing I've done for myself and I haven't looked back.
Q. What does belonging to the studio mean to you?
A. It’s been life-changing belonging to Zen Yoga. It’s more than a ‘studio’; it's a community. From the moment I joined, I felt I had joined a safe and inclusive environment. Everyone is welcomed and made to feel that they belong. No matter what your size, your age, or previous experience, you belong. The people I've met and the laughter we've had during classes are some of the best moments of my week. I look forward to seeing each and every person that takes a class with me.
Q. What are the benefits you have found by doing yoga/barre/pilates?
A. There are so many benefits I've experienced by participating in these classes. First and foremost would be my mental health. I feel more confident in all that I do. I am less stressed and reactive to situations. My best night's sleep is after my pilates class. Physically, I have stronger core muscles and that feeling is incredible. My body is no longer ‘creaky.' My overall feeling of well-being has increased significantly.
Q. What is your favorite pose and why?
A. I really enjoy all the poses in yoga/barre/pilates. But I would have to say the corpse pose during Shavasana always amazes me. My mind and body are at peace. My mind is quiet, my body relaxed and I find all is well in my world during this time.
Q. Any advice you would like to share with newbie yogis?
A. I would tell them not to be intimidated by any of the classes. The teachers are here for you and ensure that everyone has options without making you feel awkward.
Lastly, have fun! Laugh and have fun with the people in the class. Because it's a community not just a class.
Colleen brings laughter and light to every single class she attends and we are so very grateful to have her as part of the Zen community!
Thank you for being YOU, Colleen!
