Meet Zoë, a devoted yoga enthusiast who, in 2021, traded the tropical bliss of Barbados for a tertiary education in London, Ontario. Armed with years of dedicated yoga practice, she recently earned her certification as a yoga instructor.

Zoë’s journey transcends physical postures; she discovers solace in the meditative art of pranayama, embracing yoga’s philosophy both on and off the mat. Seamlessly blending Vinyasa flow and Hatha traditions, her teaching style creates a harmonious experience for students.

Beyond guiding empowering sequences, Zoë immerses herself in real estate administration with Initia Ontario, showcasing versatile skills beyond the mat. 🧘‍♀️

Zoë’s mission extends beyond physical wellness; she is committed to fostering balance, mindfulness, and community through the practice that she holds dear.
