Zoe’s classes are characterized by her commitment to providing a safe space for students to nurture a loving relationship with themselves. Students are encouraged to work into the corners of their bodies to release what they no longer wish to carry and inhabit all of their space. Expect unique and engaging playlists, often highlighting queer artists and world music!

Raised in Boulder, Colorado, Zoe was drawn to yoga in her early teens. Upon moving to NYC she relied more heavily on her Bhakti yoga practice at Laughing Lotus NYC, and took classes in dance and Somatic Movement at The New School. After graduating from Berklee College of Music and establishing a home-base in LA, she became a RYT-200 through One Down Dog Yoga & Fitness in Echo Park and has continued her education with courses in Yoga Nidra, hands-on adjustment and breathwork. Alongside yoga, Zoe is passionate about songwriting, running races, pole dancing and her work in nutrition for mental health.

From vinyasa to strength training, Zoe’s classes are intended as a tool for students to build a more closely connected and loving relationship to their bodies.
