About Zoë
I was first introduced to yoga in my early twenties, for me it started when I was suffering through a balance disorder health implication that forced me to slow down & find a way to move steadily & find a way to be stiller.
As a professional dancer & fitness fanatic at the time I found myself instantly drawn to the fluidity & continuous flow of Vinyasa yoga but then I was introduced to the excitement playful & dynamic strength of Rocket yoga & I thrived for my time on the mat. As I progressed in my practise I realised that the floaty, calm & positive uplifting sensation I felt post class was not just from the physical movement but the psychological, mindfulness & breath work woven into the class & realised I could take this beneficial feeling off of the mat & tap it into my everyday life.
I had begun to feel like life was one big competition as I spent my days being judged at auditions on what I looked like against others, scrutinised by aesthetics however much skill & talent I brought to the table it never felt like I was enough. I had lost self confidence, worth & fell out of love with myself. I had become bitter & jealous & even though the good moments were electric the bad were soul destroying.
Yoga allowed me to forget the look and connect deeper to the feeling, to be more thankful, to not judge or be jealous of others but appreciate how incredible people could move & be. And most importantly be kinder to myself. There is enough space in this world for all of us.
Yoga to me now is a work in not just a workout, it dives deeper than the physical layer.
As you practise more you allow yourself to peel away the outer layers to go inwards & gain access to the real inner self. This insight will allow you to flow more easily in day to day life.
As I was looking to my next career path I realised that I wanted to deepen my knowledge, follow my heart & help heal others to feel they are enough by spreading this wonderful practise to all walks of life. It just felt right.So since 2015 I have trained intensively & continually to be a qualified yoga Instructor. I have travelled all over from Europe to India & Thailand with the best teachers to have completed over 700 hrs of various trainings including Ashtanga Vinyasa, Rocket, Mandala Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Pre & post natal & Mum & baby yoga, Meditation,Yoga Nidra.
My Style reflects my varied skills in my vast career & is inclusive & playful, intentional & technical & feel good & fluid. I like to offer that little bit more and quite often include poetry, themes, scents, adjustments, instruments & head massage.
I love to weave parts of this ancient practise into my classes & thread modern philosophy to bridge the gap between then & now. Yoga has the power to unlock so much for us that enables each & everyone to reveal the light inside.
I can adapt my classes to all levels & can offer options whether you are wanting to advance your practise & work on Inversions or are looking to take a slower approach, especially if working with injuries or ailments. If we are working one to one I can work on specific areas you wish to. I always have a strong focus on Pranayama (breath) so if you can breathe you can do yoga!
I wish to create a safe space for everyone to come together to feel comfortable & thrive in, to feel good in your body & your mind. Be uplifted on your outlook of life & help you to reconnect back to source if you've lost your ability to appreciate life & realise that everything you need is already inside of you.
I cant wait to practise, workshop & retreat with you.
‘Yoga takes you into the present moment – the only place where life exists.’
