If you want to feel better not older, movement truly is medicine. Our bodies are designed to move. We flourish with daily movement. Bodies love variety. We need to walk, run, reach, climb, bend, twist, and so much more. Did you know that if we all walked 5-9 miles daily, most all chronic health problems would not exist? For many of us, that is not practical. We look for other ways to get our daily movement. Zoa is here to help you!
“Change happens through movement and movement heals.” Joseph Pilates
Zoa’s Movement Philosophy
Your first step is to schedule a private session with me. Why? Because Zen and Vitality offers movement education that is personalized and customized for every single client. We need to get to know each other so that your experience here will be ideal for your body.
Movement of our body should bring pleasure, create a sense of confidence, and enable us to move through life with ease. Not there yet? Zoa will walk beside you on your journey, pointing out pitfalls and offering optimal paths for you to follow. Together we will build your strength, encourage cooperation between your body and brain, increase and balance your body’s abilities, establish your ideal amount of body tension, add to your brain’s internal map of the body, and create your flexibility. Let’s get started!
At Zen and Vitality, Zoa keeps your daily exercise fresh and always the right level of challenging. Even on days when you are hurting – class will help! If you can walk and play on the beach with a loved one instead – see you when you get back!
Small Group Exercise Classes
Everyone is different which is a joy! Zoa offers choices so you can find the best path to your own fabulous full body movement. Even pre-pandemic, Zoa’s classes were limited to 6 students. Now a typical class incorporates 2-6 people in studio and a few more at home.
All of the following opportunities to move your body with intention are offered simultaneously to in studio clients and to those taking class virtually from elsewhere. Together, we adjust every workout or release class to match your needs while the entire group benefits!
Each month the group class schedule is published. There are seasonal changes (e.g. Saturday starts earlier in the warmer weather seasons) and changes based on clients needs , requests, and attendance. Do you have a need not met by the current schedule? It never hurts to make a request!
Independent Exercise Sessions
Sometimes you want to just show up, do some work, and move on with your day. Sometimes you want a little something extra for yourself. These options are easy on the wallet, short on time, and have a big impact on your body.

Testimonial
Zoa is the best fitness instructor I have yet found! I am very enthusiastic about her classes. I have followed her from studio to studio for several years.
I started Yoga due to ongoing balance issues which had no firm diagnosis. Zoa has been very helpful in supporting my instructions from Physical Therapy as well. I have taken group yoga, group Pilates Equipment, Private Pilates sessions and I even tried a group fascia class!
Zoa is awesome and a well of patience with all levels of ability. (I have very poor balance and flexibility. My strength is going fast too.) I do appreciate how she gives me the ability to move on a regular basis.
