She has a skillful eye for anatomy, alignment, and precision therapeutics and she adheres to the belief that yoga is a healing art, always aimed at reminding one of one's wholeness.

One-on-One Sessions
Zoe is available for one-on-one in person or via online platform remotely.
These sessions can be held in your home or hosted online. Private Sessions with Zoe provide a safe place to explore a new and budding practice, or offer an opportunity for you to take your practice deeper by receiving individual instruction on challenging poses with attention to form and alignment and the needs of your particular body.
Yoga is a great way to improve your endurance in other physical activities. After a run, or heavy workout, yoga will help your body relax while stretching, strengthening, and lengthening the muscles you were just working on.

Deeper Studies
Periodically, Zoe offers this informal Study Circle in her home studio. Yogis gather for deeper studies in meditation, mantra, and to focus on form in asana. We read from the book "Fundamentals of Yoga," "Light on Yoga," "The Yoga Sutras" and other seminal texts., and often engage in a round-table discussion of a topic, followed by journaling and introspection during meditation. Our asana practice often involves partner-work and hands-on assists, as well as props for alignment and tips for taking your practice deeper.
