From Catherine: It’s made me feel tired and queasy at the thought of making a holiday related marketing post… I haven’t had it in me until now. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Tired, because this is a busy season at work and a difficult season for me outside of work. I’ve prioritized marketing other posts and try to only be on social media out of necessity or inspiration. 🥱

Quesy, because I’m not big on all the consumerism of this season and also I am grateful for the people who have been supporting the studio already. We don’t actually NEED more than we already have. 🌳

But, I DO know that revenue is never guaranteed and that people WANT to support small and local businesses so, here’s some info if that’s YOU. 🥰

Support a small, local business this holiday season with:

💚 gift certificates: use for yoga, massages, reiki, anything!
❤️ buy yoga zen branded apparel (link to purchase in comments)
💚 up to 60% off retail items in our boutique
❤️ passes to specialty classes like private classes, Tibetan sound healing, somatics, planetarium sound bath, - all happening January 2026!

Thank you so much for keeping small and locally owned businesses in business! They keep our communities vibrant. 🙌🏻

Head to our website or the Yoga Zen studio this holiday season to share the gift of peace and relaxation with those you love! 💝

Thank you 🙏🏼
Catherine

🫁 BREATHWORK THIS SUNDAY 🫁

A few years ago I read James Nestor’s book, Breath, and I knew right away I wanted to experience breathwork to help relieve my stress, anxiety, and grief. 📖⁣

Since then, I regularly work with Marnie Horton, a breathwork practitioner and enjoy inviting her to Yoga Zen from time to time to share this experience with a group. THIS SUNDAY, Dec 7, she’ll be at Yoga Zen from 4-5:15p. 🤗
⁣
Breathwork can help release heavy energy and help you feel fully connected afterwards. 💚⁣

You don’t want to miss this… I hope you can join me. - Catherine ✌🏼⁣

🪷 MEET CATHERINE 🪷

Yoga Zen owner & lead teacher, Catherine Schmidt was recently featured as a “Daily Inspiration” story with Voyage Michigan Magazine.

“Today we’d like to introduce you to Catherine Schmidt.

Hi Catherine, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.

Hello! I’m a mom, business owner, and yoga practitioner: I’ve got an 8 year old son, a 7 year old business, and a 13 year long yoga practice (so far)!

Before I opened my business, Yoga Zen, I was working my way up the corporate ladder in the human resources field. While I was doing that, I fell in love with yoga for the balance, creativity, and fun that yoga brings to my life.

When I moved to Caledonia, Michigan in 2015 I saw an opportunity to open a yoga studio. I took a couple of teacher trainings, started teaching yoga as a “side hustle” but I took the leap into entrepreneurship in 2018 and opened Yoga Zen: a yoga studio for all ages in the heart of Caledonia.

I’m dedicated to continuous learning and have received several certifications for yoga teaching to adults and children. I’ve completed Trauma-Informed and Somatics training as well as completed three levels of Reiki training to be a Reiki Master Practitioner. I’m also a certified Sound Practitioner and love to lead guided meditations and sound baths to help people relax and recalibrate their bodies.
