Hi, my name is Zoe. I’m a yoga teacher and English as a Second Language (ESL) instructor. I came up with the name “Skybranches Yoga” after admiring the beauty of branches in the sky on a summer's evening. Branches in the sky are always there – but only when we give ourselves the space to pause can we notice their beauty.

​

Yoga also allows us the space to pause to be where we are in that exact given moment. Our practice changes throughout time and yoga invites us to move along with this change, rather than resist it. Whether your reason for taking a yoga class is to increase flexibility and strength, find calm and relaxation, or simply try something new, there is yoga for every Body.

​

Yoga is also about connection; just as 'skybranches' are connected, so are we. Students are encouraged to ask questions before and after class, as creating community helps us to lift each other up! My intention is for students to find the space to pause, connect, and move through obstacles, and to leave class to feel the peace that is truly inside each and every one of us.

​

My yoga teaching journey began when I received my 200 RYT with BambooMoves in Queens, NY. I've furthered my studies in restorative yoga, initially with Marlie McGovern, and then Jillian Pransky and Ishta Yoga. In 2019 I trained with Deb Flashenberg and Caprice Abowitt at the Prenatal Yoga Center in NYC, and recently, I finished a Chair Yoga training with Yoga Farm in Ithaca, NY.

​

I am profoundly grateful to all of my teachers and students.
