The Zen Den

After moving from Austin, which has a great yoga studio on nearly every corner, I was so happy to find The Zen Den. It is a really peaceful and cozy studio in downtown Fairfield, and Maria’s classes are amazing. She has such a gentle and confident way of leading classes, and I always feel like she provides exactly what my body and mind need.
I regularly go to her Gentle Stretch Yoga classes, as well as her private couple’s yoga sessions. The couple’s sessions are intimate, blending teamwork and yoga into one. My husband really looks forward to them, too. So thankful for this place!

I have been going to Maria’s lunch time classes. I find her classes to be absolutely wonderful. She gives great guidance and modifications. Her class are unique each time. I am so deeply relaxed afterwards and sleep much better. Please support this independent business owner. Try the classes! She does massage and other therapuetic work as well that I will try one day.

Maria’s Yoga classes are so wonderful. Class is different every time. So many classes I have attended in other places are the same practice every time. Classes are small and practice is geared to her clientele. It’s. Strengthening and gentle at the same time.
Nowhere will you find a yoga class so inexpensive. Quality and inexpensive. Check. It out.

A friend told me about the Zen Den when I was looking for a place to host a fundraiser for my sister and I to teach in Jamaica. Since then I have continued to visit the Zen Den. Recently (Jan. 2015) I had my first ever make over done by Maria, owner of the Zen Den. My hair came out beautifully layered and full after being in braids. I loved how Maria styled my hair. My sister immediately scheduled an appointment afterwards. I plan to return to get another scalp treatment and flat iron.
Our brother also played the drums during night dance exercise classes taught by Maria. Overall, I’d recommend you check out the Zen Den. You’ll enjoy the atmosphere especially if you’re an Artist or have a love for music, dance, fitness and beauty. The owner herself is very multitalented, creative and engaged in the community. Her talent and energy is exhibited throughout the studio making it a lovely place to host events.

I LOVE the Zenden! This is an amazing new place that has opened a few months ago. Maria is the best yoga instructor I have ever had. She incorporates yoga with meditation. She has a very different style than I have experienced before. She guides you through the yoga postures with her very soothing voice and there is always a background of music and rhythm that changes with every class and fits right into her instruction and meditation. Besides yoga, there is a dynamite dance class on Friday nights with awesome music (also always different at each class) that makes you want to dance, dance, dance and I work up such a sweat and have so much fun doing it! There are also yoga classes for pregnant women and couples.
Maria is so talented… besides being a wonderful instructor, she is also is a healer: She offers massage, yoga massage, nutrition. She is also a licensed cosmetologist and beautician and provides salon services in her studio. I had a haircut this week and it is the best I have had in years … she spent so much time shaping and layering my hair. You can tell she loves what she does and she puts her whole self into whatever she is doing. I always had to drag myself to yoga and exercise classes before… I find myself really looking forward to working with Maria at the Zenden… she truly creates an atmosphere there that is spiritual, fun and relaxing at the same time and I look forward to every class.
