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 with Yoga Alliance through One Down Dog Yoga & Fitness in Echo Park and has continued her education with courses in Yoga Nidra and Breath Work. Alongside yoga, Zoe is passionate about songwriting, dance and her work in nutrition for mental health.

Zoe identifies as queer and is open about her journey through addiction and eating disorder recovery, all of which inform her gentle, open-ended and trauma-informed teaching style. Zoe holds space for students to perceive and care for their own bodies on their own terms.
