^ZUMBA!

Zumba® is a unique fitness program in that it doesn’t feel like a “workout.” While an hour of traditional exercise can sometimes feel like an eternity, an hour of Zumba® simply flies by! The Zumba® slogan, “Ditch the workout and join the party” couldn’t be more appropriate because every Zumba® class feels more like a dance party than a workout. No matter what your current fitness level or dance ability happens to be, everyone can Zumba®. So, check our class schedules and come join the party!  Saturday Mornings at 9:00 starting Jan. 21, 2012

" I've been taking pilates with Faye for one month now and I can't believe the difference it has made for me already! It's much easier to walk up stairs, my legs and ankles feel so much stronger! I have noticed my clothes feel looser, and doing the pilates gives me a feeling of well-being. I walk into the class feeling stressed out, tired and achey and leave like I'm a new person! I feel energized, taller, centered and happy! I also love the way Faye coaches me all through the workout to do the excersize with good alignment and form protecting me from injury and helping me to get the most out of each movement. Thank you!  Marsha,  

 "I wanted to tell you what a wonderful job Kathy did on last Monday. She was amazing. She pushed me with a challenging workout but still one that was within my skill set. My heartbeat was up for the majority of the class which made me feel that I not only got a good workout and burned some calories, but that I really focused on the routine and more importantly on me. The savasana was so relaxing and rejuvenation. When I went home I felt like I could do anything. I took my daughter ice skating later that day (I've never been), I felt like I could get on the ice and do spins and jumps. The reality was that I couldn't, but I thought I could because of how good I felt! I did fall only one time, so I think all the balancing poses helped with the ice skating. That session with Kathy was really one of my favorite classes that I have taken to date." Desiree, Cardio Yoga Class

"I gained over 50lbs with my first pregnancy. Pilates with Faye helped me loose all the weight and then some! It has helped me get my abs back and made my legs thinner than ever. Faye is very pleasant and nice to work with. I highly recommend this class!" Kate Imbesi , Lawyer and new mom

"Since taking classes with Faye, I have trimmed inches and toned up very quickly. Her classes are fun, factual and she offers great instruction. I've worked out on my own for 15 years and faye's classes have provided much more results, quicky. I'm stronger, more confident, clothes fit better, and feel good about my body. i highly recommend Faye and her reformer classes..." Kathy Riccio

"Exercising always revolved around my schedule until I started Pilates with Faye Rose. Going through menopause is very difficult but pilates with Faye has helped with my energy level, moods and sleep. She is truly a professional and devotes extra time to each client making you feel so special." Francine Giannane

What to expect, what to bring (FAQ’s)

Most people don't know what to expect in their first class. This is normal. The following pointers may answer some of your questions about what to expect and what to bring when you come to Art & Soul Yoga. If we’ve missed anything you’re curious about, feel free to call or email with questions. We’d love to talk to you!

Will everyone be better than I am?

You’ll be fine. We welcome students of all ages and abilities, so you’ll find a wide range of people in our classes, each working at their own level. We all start somewhere, and you’re welcome at Art & Soul Yoga no matter what your experience level is.

What if I can’t do everything the teacher asks us to do?

Learning is a process. We learn best by doing, and our classes are designed to introduce you to new things over time. The teacher is a guide, but the student learns what she’s ready to learn when she’s ready to learn it. Our teachers will offer variations for many postures so everyone can experience them at an appropriate level.

What should I bring?

Bring your own yoga mat and a small pillow for relaxation at the end of class. Many students bring a water bottle and a towel.

What should I wear?

Wear clothing that allows a full range of motion. That could be form-fitting athletic clothes or loose-fitting sweats and a t-shirt. Whatever works for you.

Should I eat before class?

We recommend not eating a heavy meal within two hours before class. It's also a good idea to drink plenty of water earlier in the day so your body is well hydrated during class.

When should I get there?

Classes start promptly at their scheduled time so please arrive ten to fifteen minutes early to check in and get settled. If you arrive late, please wait outside the practice room until the teacher motions you to come in.

All Registration Fees are non-refundable.
