YOGA
Zoe began her journey of yoga, by a keen curiosity and interest of oriental medicines and traditions when she was just 16, beginning to read books on India she become so enchanted that she began to explore deeper and she moved into practicing yoga asana, that eventually lead her to find her way to spend time developing and deepening her practice with a teacher in Mysore in India. Later she completed to first 300hr teacher training in Vinyasa flow in Bali.
Zoe has continued to develop her practice and allow it transform into something that resonates not only with her body but also nourishing and harmonising her spirit and heart.

YIN YOGA
Yin yoga works to relieve mental, physical and emotional tension by targeting the body’s fascia system, the connective tissue that encases all our muscles, bones and organs, and carries important messages throughout the body. Connective tissue responds best to slow, long holds. For this reason, during yin practice each pose is held between 2-5 minutes, inviting a deep journey into stillness wherein a subtle magic occurs as the body’s fascia begins to soften. The result is a felt sense of deep relaxation and expansion both physically and emotionally.
Yin practice is an excellent tool for regaining emotional balance, rejuvenating the senses, and strengthening one’s mediation practice, as it requires presence with the breath and sinking into stillness, gently teaching the qualities of patience, presence, acceptance, and surrender.

YOGA NIDRA
Yogic Sleep -It is a state of conscious deep sleep
Yoga Nidra is one of the deepest of all meditations, leading awareness through many levels of mental process to a state of supreme stillness and insight.
In most meditation techniques you remain in waking state of consciousness. In Yoga Nidra, using techniques to gently focus the mind, using body scanning, breath, sensations and visualisations arise and go you leave the waking state, go beyond the dreaming state, and go to deep sleep, yet remain awake.
ROLL AND RELEASE
This is a guided self care practice using tennis balls on trigger points to relieve myo-fascial (muscular and fascial) knots and tensions.
Tennis balls are so versatile can really get into very specific trigger points in the body, allowing a deep release of the fascia tissues. They massage tight areas of the body to achieve a release by you, applying just the right amount of pressure, for you.
Zoe will gently yet expertly guide you through a deep practice of using the balls along the meridians to release certain acupressure points, as you melt and dissolve these knots and tensions, Zoe will enhance the practice by sharing the wisdom of Chinese medicine as you work which deepens the experience by understanding of the benefit of the practice.
MEDITATION
Meditation practice helps us to calm our mind from over thinking and creating stress in life by not managing thoughts patterns and obsessive and exhausting thinking.
Mediation has some tremendous benefits, and some mere side benefits are such to help curb stress, insomnia, and emotional turbulence, which of course all very worthwhile reasons in themselves.
