Simply put, ZEN•GA™ is a blend of familiar, mind-body exercise modalities supported by the latest research in fascial fitness.

ZEN represents the search for inner discovery, while YOGA symbolizes a pathway to reach it. Together they form ZEN•GA, which is based on Four Mindful Movement Principles: breath, support, yield and flow. When applied together, these principles bring awareness of how the body and the mind move in tandem.

ZEN•GA focuses on core stability, stamina and resilience while attaining a state of presence. The increase in demand on the neuromuscular system affords the benefits of improved strength, enhanced elasticity and creates a more youthful, resilient and fluid body. To earn the designation as a ZEN•GA Instructor, one must complete a Foundation Course and receive the Certificate of Completion.

Foundation Courses

The ZEN•GA Mat and Equipment Foundation Courses teach the principles that make up the method and shows how to apply them to movement programs designed to help clients reach their desired goals. Participants are taught how to integrate the Mindful Movement principles into energizing and strengthening workouts that improve muscle tone and function, facilitate neuromyofascial integration and increase overall well-being.

Professional Development & Continuing Education

Designed to support the groundwork learned through the Foundations Courses, a series of specially programmed workshops are available. Comprising both Mat and equipment-based material, these sessions draw focus to particular areas of the course including breath, fascial lines and fluidity, providing an increased depth of knowledge.  Although it helps to have prior ZEN•GA training, these workshops are not restricted to those who have completed the Foundations courses, so anyone can benefit from the information provided.
