Have you met Kim yet?!

Kim’s our newest teacher on the ZD team, but she’s not new to yoga!

Kim has been teaching yoga for over a decade and as of this month, she’s teaching Hippy Hour on Monday evenings at 6:30pm!

—You’ll also see her name sprinkled throughout the schedule, helping sub other classes like Power & Restore and Friday Hippy Hour!

Kim’s also a massage therapist, so she uses her knowledge of the body to deepen her yogi’s experience on the mat.

You may enjoy her offering of hands-on assists during class (always optional) to enhance your practice.

Trust me, these can be divine and might be the thing you didn’t know you needed:)

See you soon! 💛🖤🩷

“It’s just a tiny little yoga studio…”

— says that voice in my head.

But actually, it isn’t just that.

It’s an idea I had in my mind, and I birthed it to life.

16 months in…
Hundreds of yogis later…
A team of 3…
Dozens of regulars…

It’s a safe place to practice yoga, free from bright lights, mirrors and judgement.

Sometimes, I still can’t believe I get to wear a shirt with my logo on it.

I did that!

Thank you for supporting me 💛🖤🩷

Power & Restore is the perfect balance of movement and stillness.

— the yin and the yang.

I personally love this class because the first half challenges me to move quickly, deeply focused on body and breath.

A moving meditation…

Most times, we break a sweat!

And just as we begin to tire, it’s time to restore, ahhhh.

That sweet release… melting into poses supported by blocks, blankets and bolsters. Nothing to do but relax and chill out.

Power up, then Restore down.

Check it out and see why our yogis love it!

Enjoy it during our pop up classes this month with .moves !

We could all use a little yoga right now.

The first bits of Fall, saying hello 🍁

Growing up in New England, I think I took this time of year for granted.

— But dang!

My eyes are wide open now!!

Notice the leaves as they began to change.

Just a little bit at first and then they eventually fall on down.

“Nature doesn’t hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”

Be patient, trust the process.

Our next featured yogi is Andreana, a ray of sunshine and a big supporter of the Zen Den!

Andreana has a warm & bubbly personality and she’s also our resident plant whisperer 🌱

Name: Andreana

Months at ZD: 15! An OG!
Occupation: Professional Review Specialist

1. Why did you first come to ZD?

I have spent years trying to find a yoga studio that is welcoming. After having a conversation with Kelly on Instagram. I decided to visit the studio for Hippy Hour on a Friday night back in May, 2024.

2. What made you return?

Besides the fact that Kelly is welcoming and has such a kind spirit. I always feel at home when I step foot in the studio. I was not expecting to make friends and now I am part of the little community.

Hippy Hour! Can we have a favorite song because mine is “Breathe Happy.” That’s how I feel every time I walk into The Zen Den.

4. Favorite essential oil?

Lemon 🍋

Deer Pose.

Mid-year intention check!!

At the start of the year, on my retreat in Panama, I chose the phrase “inquire within” to symbolize this year, 2025.

We’re already 8 months in… almost 9!

A few ways I’ve tried to embody this:

☕️ saying yes to plans that fill my cup
🏋working out in ways that don’t feel like torture
🛌 sleeping in when I can, versus setting an alarm
🧘‍♂️ hiring more teachers to carry the load at ZD
🥗 eating in a way that feels sustainable and delicious
🚫 no booze for 9+ months because when I inquire within, I just don’t want it!

How are you doing on the intentions you set for the new year?

I needed this reminder and I thought you might need one, too.

And if you’re off track, a kind pep talk may be just the thing to get you back in line with your new years intentions.

Yoga also helps 😘

Zen Den Yogi Spotlight 💡 🪷

Our next featured yogi is Janet, my neighbor at home and now, a consistent Zen Den yogi!

Janey even gifted me a custom ZD scrap book for our 1 year anniversary; she’s so thoughtful! Swipe right to see 🥰

Name: Janet Dewey
Horoscope Sign: Virgo ♍️
Months at ZD: 12!
Occupation: Reading Interventionist (grades 4-8) 🏫
Hometown: Manchester, CT 🏡

1. Why did you first come to ZD?

Well, I heard from Kelly (my amazing neighbor) that she had opened a yoga studio and thought why not try a class. I was super nervous because I knew I would not be able to do a lot of the moves. From my first class I loved the vibe of the studio and that fact it was small number in each class.

2. What made you return?

Well, it’s such a welcoming studio and all the instructors just encourage you to do what you can. I have a disability, but I just modify with the poses that I cannot do.

3. Favorite class?

Slow Flow

4. Favorite essential oil?

Grapefruit

5. Favorite pose?

Cat-cow poses

6. To Om or not to Om?

Om, definitely because it’s great way to end each class.

Thank you, Janet! We’re so happy to have you as part of our growing community!

It was a gorgeous Sunday funday yesterday for Yoga at !

On freshly mopped floors in the sunlit beer hall, we flowed through a gentle sequence and pondered on the intention of being present.

“Slow breathes are little love notes to our body…”

It’s Monday, yogis!

Take a sip of that beautiful fresh air and exhale out what doesn’t serve you.

Let’s make it the best week we can.
