Acroyoga

‘I found my first AcroYoga class a powerful engaging blend of exercise, laughter and play. Both a very fun social experience, and a solid workout.

Zoe’s teaching style is very welcoming and inclusive – quickly forging a sense of community within the class. To begin,  group stretches and yogic humour filled the room with smiles. Later, I found myself effortlessly in the moment  as we enjoyed the success and failure of the challenging partner balance poses.’

Children and Teenagers

“ Zoe began working with my class and immediately engaged them positively, professionally and empathetically. As a result they began to quickly develop new skills as well as a greater understanding of their interconnectedness as individual human beings working toward a common goal.  Zoe is not only extremely capable of dealing with children, but also a highly skilled, sensitive and motivated professional “

Tim Nixon ( Central Coast Rudolf Steiner School)

 

” Zoe has displayed great compassion and understanding of my children and of some rather behaviourally challenged children within the class.  I have witnessed her highly developed conflict resolution skills within this setting and am impressed by her ability to remove the emotional content and deal with the matter at hand.

Zoe ‘oozes’ kindness and love with the children and always provides useful feedback to the parents”

This is your mind. Your mind can be very calm by knowing which way to go…..you can see a way to be free and a way to be stuck.The part that is crunched up together is when you are stressed.  And the one way to freeness is a very clear mind and that is what yoga does to your mind. So try it out! and see what it does to you.

Yoga to Surf

“Yoga to surf is the best thing I’ve ever done! It has helped me become lot more nimble in the water and my surfing has improved. What we do on the mat directly influences what happens out on the waves.  It also given me a sense of calm and helps me to let go of everything that has happened before the class. After the class I feel so cleansed and re energized. Zoe is an invaluable yogi and I feel privileged to have her teach me. I highly recommend the class to anyone looking to improve their surfing or overall wellbeing.

BJ Cilia ( Nirvana ’s Billy Cilia’s son)

 

“Zoe came and taught at my last yoga surf retreat at Byron Bay. Her class, with many partner postures, was really fun, we laughed heaps, and we connected and got to know each other better. The experience helped my group feel more comfortable with each other. ”

Yoga Therapy

“I have gone through some yoga therapy training in my professional soccer career before, so I knew that Zoe’s yoga therapy training would be more than just an opportunity to learn a new technique.

I never expected however to be healed so deeply, from the inside – out as well as the outside-in.

She accomplishes this in a very natural way that seems effortless, but it is only possible because of her extensive knowledge and skill.
Since I have been practicing yoga therapy training with Zoe, I have also experienced a huge amount of pain reduction and healing to my troubled calves – a junction of reoccurring injury and limitation that caused me to move away from playing soccer professionally.

The teachings and techniques are working in very practical but also exquisite and mysterious way.

All I can say is … it is beyond words and can only be experienced.”

Andre Gumprecht ( ex Mariner’s player) Yoga Therapy December 2014

 

“Zoe has been giving me treatments for the last 15 years.  Each time i am amazed by her ability to ‘tune into the exact amount of pressure and pace that i need at the time.  Her style and presence makes me feel comfortable and completely at ease … After all these years she remains my masseuse of choice”

Alex Norman ( NVC Non – Violent Communication Facilitator) July 2015

 

 

“Receiving body work for Zoe is amazing!.  Her ability to tune into your body on a physical and energetic level gives you permission to relax and enjoy the subtle transformation that’s happening as your body is recalibrating and balancing itself.  Zoe is a truly gentle and dynamic healer with plenty of chi …”
