A Caring Business for a Caring Community

on Monday, May 17, 2010




“I know every person’s first and last name in that room,” Kelli Harrington of ZenSpot Inc says as she motions to a room of 30 people or so. The room of yoga-goers is heated up to a few degrees warmer than body temperature in a practice that Kelli refers to as “hot yoga.”

            “It doesn’t matter whether you are recovering from an injury, have spinal problems, or are simply looking to tone up, we will custom-fit your routine,” Kelli says of ZenSpot yoga services, but yoga is only one of their many specialties. Kelli and her husband, Michael Bittner, are licensed and/or trained in the fields of counseling, nutrition, and Reiki healing. They feel that this allows for complete and overall aid in living a healthier life, and merits the name ZenSpot Inc rather than ZenSpot Yoga or others.

            As Kelli watches the room where her husband instructs the class to move to their next position, and helps adjust students so that they complete the move correctly, she discusses the importance of knowing each and every one of their students and their individual story.

The Search for a Home



            The ZenSpot Inc location settled in downtown Eugene only a few months ago and already they have added more sessions to meet demand. Their offices for holistic and energy services are located behind the yoga studio which means you don’t have to leave in order to receive other services from Kelli and Michael.

            ZenSpot Inc is new to Eugene but not to the world. Kelli and Michael realized their dream of a hot yoga studio plus some at their former home in New York City. They had briefly lived in California however when they wanted to return to the west coast they wanted to find a prime location that would embrace their holistic fitness lifestyle.

            “It was between Bend, Portland, and Eugene, and Eugene was the clear winner,” Kelli says of deciding on a location. “It just seems like such a caring community.”

            Eugene showed its caring spirit to ZenSpot Inc by instantly filling up their charming studio with eager yoga students and the classes have only grown.

Special Programs and Services



            In addition to having a space and qualification for Reiki healing and counseling, ZenSpot Inc also has several additional programs that customers can participate in. These programs include half marathon and marathon training to Feng Shui to a springtime bootcamp. Regardless of your reason for getting fit, or where you are at in your fitness health, there is a program that can be custom-fitted to you at ZenSpot Inc.

            Many businesses attempt to focus on their customers, the very people who keep their business alive, but ZenSpot Inc has lived up to their mission statement. The effort and caring that Kelli and Michael have already put into this company is unique even in the most unique of cities. The relationships they cultivate show their passion for a higher quality of life for themselves and their customers. It will only be a matter of time before their yoga studio is filled to the brim with those who recognize ZenSpot Inc for its unique, and complete experience.
