Mindful Movement
Move with Intention. Restore with Clarity
ZEN•GA® by Merrithew® is a unique, mindful workout that blends Pilates with the science of fascial fitness. Grounded in four core principles—Breath, Support, Yield, and Flow—this practice targets the body’s fascial network to amplify elasticity, resilience, and explosive kinetic energy. Instead of rigid repetitions, in this class, you will ride wave-like rhythms and incorporate controlled, bouncy movement patterns.
Why choose ZEN•GA®?
- Create effortless, global strength through mapping and exploring fascial slings.
- Master the delicate dance between effort and ease, tension and release.
- Attain effective muscle recovery, flexibility and a resilient body.

Our approach combines low-impact, spring-based resistance with mindful movement to support your body’s changing needs, ensuring you feel secure and successful at every stage of life.
With years of hands-on experience training older adults, our instructors possess a deep knowledge of anatomy and a highly trained eye for biomechanics.
