I want to take a moment to recognize Christine's Zen Do Ju class that I recently attended. It was a truly wonderful hour of a combination of breathing, stretching, and unique exercises that I had never before experienced. I was completely invigorated and energized after Christine's expert instruction and I highly recommend others to participate if the opportunity presents itself. I fully intend to attend future classes offered by this exceptional and knowledgeable instructor.

Zen DoJu is totally new to me. I didn't know what to expect, it was totally enjoyable. Christine, the instructor, was attentive to each person's needs, providing adaptable options to ensure a comfortable and personalized experience for everyone in the class. Chairs are available for comfort. The background music totally relaxes you. Christine explains everything very well, it was very enjoyable. I Can't wait for the next class.

It was my first time at the ZEN DOJU class with Christine, and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t know what to expect, but it turned out to be very relaxing. I was able to improve my balance, which is an issue for me. The atmosphere was very friendly and casual, and the classes were informative and beneficial.

I usually don’t exercise, but my wife dragged me into it, and I'm glad she did. I really enjoyed it; it's a relaxing, friendly atmosphere. As I'm getting older and don't exercise regularly, I feel stiff in the morning. ZEN DOJU really helped me relax my body and loosen up. I feel more relaxed and flexible now. The class was enjoyable, and the people were very nice. I will definitely go back; it was fun. I highly recommend ZEN DOJU; it is great for anyone wanting to improve their well-being. We shouldn't delay taking action until we are unable to do anything.
- Ed Brown
ZEN DOJU is new to me, and I like it very much. What I love most about it is how relaxing it is; I feel a sense of calm. I especially appreciate the avoidance of floor seating, as it prevents any vertigo triggers for me. It allows me to fully immerse myself in the practice without any discomfort or distraction. The social aspect adds an extra layer of joy, making it a truly holistic experience. It is wonderful to connect with others who are also on their own journey towards wellness and mindfulness. Overall, I highly recommend ZEN DOJU. It is not difficult and it is beneficial. If you are looking for a practice that brings tranquility, joy, and overall well-being, ZEN DOJU is definitely worth trying out.
- Stephania Johnson
Hi Christine, I very much enjoyed ZEN DOJU and the holistic approach to exercise. It is a gentle total body workout that does not feel like a workout! I will see you again on Sunday.
- Edith Bley-Fuhrmann
I have added Zen DoJo to my personal wellness program. Stretching, coordination, strength, flexibility and balance are addressed in a gentle yet effective way. All motions are done standing or sitting depending on ability and interest. Christine’s pace is steady and easy, no sweating, groaning or aching muscles. Give it a try, first two sessions are gratis.
- Bob Cournoyer
This class is a wonderful example of the Judo principle "Jita Kyoei" -- or mutual prosperity for self and others. Sensei Christine has taken her enormous understanding of Judo and distilled from it a set of exercises that enhance both movement and spirit -- not just for Judo players, but for anyone at any age regardless of their background. I met a lot of excellent people as well, and everyone left with smiles on their faces. I highly recommend it!
