Shared Impressions
I bow humbly to the bright ones adventuring with me
Yoga Teacher Training is probably one of the most difficult passages in my life. If it wasn't for my yoga mentor Zia, I don't know where I would be Right Now. She is always there for me. I don't know about any of my other litter mates/YTT'ers, but... My mentor is Priceless! Just sayin'...
+ Rebecca V.
From a place of deep knowing and wisdom, Zia brings forth the elements in both her practice and her relationships. Fire transforms, water heals, earth supports and air inspires. Hers is no ordinary practice - prepare to be moved physically, emotionally and spiritually.
+ Michelle E.
Zia's writing is thorough and researched, honest and raw. She writes from a place of knowledge and isn't afraid to tell her truth. Her passion sometimes causes her ideas to flow out of her in a slightly tumbled rush, but this urgency is where great writing begins. I'm happy to have her on our team!

+ Kari S.
What a personal experience. Zia said "The past is not a thing." So many things Zia spoke about drove it home for me. She speaks with light and love, knowledge and experience. What a beautiful soul to spend time with. Thank you Zia. See you again soon.
+ Terah S.
Zia really speaks from her heart. I love her energy. I feel her words are authentic...Zia believes her own message and what she teaches about the senses. I can always feel the love within Zia.
+ Tracy C.
Beautiful time together. Zia's Sensory Ecology workshop was everything I expected and more. Great insights and knowledgable embodiment of life-earned wisdom. Can't wait to gather again.
+ Kat T.
She is a bodhisattva.

For me yoga is play. It's just play.
So into the wilderness I go to lose my mind and set my soul on fire.
I'm grateful to share the practice I love with joy, courage and curiosity. I teach from the root of my own practice and I'm here to empower children with mindfulness, movement, social emotional awareness + practice as a life skill.
I rose in love with fiery passion and burn brightly on the timeless path of dharma since 2007. I invite you to just be. Just be you. Just be yoga. Just be play.

Perfect love casts out all fear.
My wild dragon's breath reignited in perfect love and quickened me back to life. Reunited with the astonishing flame of source being, I practice to wholly embody my essential nature with full integrity.
One's contracted sense of self and separation from the Whole is finally annihilated in the incandescent radiance of the complete expansion into perfect wholeness. - Tantra Philosophy
I bow gratefully to life in awe and wonder. Awake in the way, the truth and the light, I'm on fire for the spirit of truth. I keep a certain wildness within me .
May we all remember we are wild.
