Moments That Matter: How Zion Well Builds Community Through Mindfulness

For Aubrey and Art Schupbach, a little goes a long way. It is a little mindfulness, in the form of a friendly check-in with a yoga patron they haven’t seen in a while. A little stretching in the morning, to get the body in the right mental and physical space to move about the rest of the day. A little meditation session in the afternoon to remind oneself that the quiet times are just as important as the loud ones. The Schupbachs have found that these little moments are what create the foundation that supports a larger community. It’s these moments that help make Zion Well what it is: a studio rooted in community, mental health, and purpose.
