September Client of the Month!
"I am stronger and can lift heavier weights than I used to be able to before getting into a consistent routine. And, I've gained a better understanding of proper yoga form by practicing more. But, probably most importantly, I've learned that I function much better when I take time for myself and recharge at the gym. My time at the gym is non-negotiable!" - Connie B.
How important is variety in your fitness routine?
Variety in class offerings is so important to me! I love mixing it up to keep me engaged and consistent, and my routine feeling fresh. Each day is different in terms of what is being thrown at me so I love the flexibility of being able to come to Zen to slow down and focus inward or go to Heather's Gym to lift some heavy weights and get stronger!
What are your favorite classes and WHY?
I love my Sunday Recovery class at Zen, it's the perfect way to reset and begin the week for me. A typical week for me is usually one class a day either at Zen or Heather's Gym. I love all the classes at Zen! I feel so good after practicing. I'm totally hooked on how yoga makes my body feel. I also love strenth and weight training classes at HG. Saturday strength is really fun and empowering to me!
I am so grateful for ALL the amazing instructors. I love coming to class here, the people are just the best !
Any advice for those struggling to find their fitness routine?
My routine is to try to schedule as much in advance as I can. I love having a plan in place. I do a lot of 5:30 or 6:30 am classes so laying out my clothes the night before is key to me getting out the door on time!
Is there something that an instructor has said that has really stuck with you?
Cassie and Vanessa have the most inspiring readings during their classes. Vanessa shared a quote that I love and used as a gift for my son-
"Just show up as you are. You don't have to look or feel great. You don't have to be prepared for each challenge or know the hows of every challenge. You don't have to be fearless or have all the answers, or be 100% ready. Nobody is any of these things, nobody ever was. It's not a about being perfect at all. You just have to show up as you are despite all the objections and insecurities of your mind, despite each and every fear that threatens to hold you back, despite the limitations and criticisms others will place on you. To hell with it all. This is your life, your journey , your adventure and all it's asking of you is to show up for it, as you are. That's enough. That's more than enough. That's everything." - Scott Stabile
