ZENGA™ is a teaching modality that consciously connects the mind and body through innovative programming. This evolved methodology is a synthesis of movement applications used for many years and information that’s only recently been brought to the forefront. Throughout the work, the power lies not only in the movement itself, but rather on a purposeful intention while we move. Through intention and imagery, ZENGA™ will unleash the body from tension and bring more clarity to the mind. Various props are used to support the body and create a focal point to direct our breath allowing more fluidity and ease in the physical body.
