creating an environment for change

A FREE WELLNESS PROGRAM FOR MEMBERS

We’ve all done it—thought about our goals or dreams, maybe even written them down with the best intentions. But when life gets busy, those plans often get pushed aside. It’s not that we didn’t truly want to achieve them; sometimes they simply weren’t the top priority, or time, energy, and resources got in the way. But what if there’s something deeper behind why change can feel so difficult?

Creating an environment for change starts with understanding where you are in the process. This session will explore the stages of change (Transtheoretical Model), examine what tends to hold us back, and highlight strategies that actually work when it comes to shifting perspectives and building lasting habits.

Join Body Zone fitness professional and nutritionist Michelle Harris to learn more. She’ll share five practical action steps to help spark growth and meaningful change especially when it comes to improving your nutrition and overall wellness.

yoga therapy for stress relief

A FREE WELLNESS PROGRAM FOR MEMBERS

Stress is not just “in your head.” It lives in the nervous system, the breath, the muscles, and even our thought patterns. Over time, chronic stress can affect sleep, mood, focus, recovery, and overall health.

In this workshop with Beth Harenza, Body Zone Yoga Therapist, you’ll learn:
– What stress actually does to the brain and body,
– Why willpower alone doesn’t regulate it,
– How yoga works from a nervous system perspective.

You’ll experience simple, science-informed yoga therapy tools including breathwork, mindful movement, and guided relaxation — practices designed to shift you out of fight-or-flight and into a more regulated, grounded state.

This session blends brief education with practical application, so you’ll leave understanding why yoga works and with techniques you can use immediately in daily life.

All levels welcome. No prior yoga experience needed.
