Zia Yoga & Wellness

Enter a Place of Belonging. We guide our students to reclaim their health and happiness through ancient wisdom and self-care.

Zia Yoga & Wellness is a vibrant community committed to increasing Yoga's accessibility, honoring its roots as a spiritual practice for collective healing, and inspiring a movement toward equitable wellness for everyone. Yoga can help you dismantle stress and gain access to the experience of radical self-love in your body but it can also be intimidating, expensive, lack accessibility and representation, and feel available to only some. Zia Yoga & Wellness is an intentional and inclusive space, created for anyone who has felt othered elsewhere to feel affirmed and welcome. Through our work, we empower our students to help us in making waves in the wellness industry by challenging norms, disrupting systems, and mobilizing people to be in action to create transformative social change.

Doing anything with intention is practicing yoga.

Yoga isn’t limited to the mat; it’s how we breathe through chaos, how we listen deeply, how we move through the world with awareness.

The truth is, every intentional act, a mindful sip of tea, tidying a stack of blankets, a conscious breath before responding, a moment of gratitude - all of this is yoga in action.

At Zia Yoga & Wellness, we honor yoga as a practice of presence and agency, one that invites you back home to yourself.

If you're looking for a community where you can...

👉 Feel a deep CONNECTION to a community that feels like it was made to support them (because it was), where you can show up exactly as you are and be loved, supported, and guided to be your best self?

👉 Move your body with confidence in ways that feel good and increase your strength, confidence, and energy?

👉 Let go of the old drama you were used to feeling around your wellness (i.e., shame, guilt, overwhelm, anxiety, etc.)?

We're more than a yoga studio; Zia is an intentional community dedicated to helping you focus on what matters most.

Explore one of our weekly super accessible and highly personalized classes and experience firsthand why we've been voted Chester County's BEST yoga studio.

Curious? Step into your practice with 21 Days of Unlimited Yoga for just $69 and experience yoga as it was meant to be: a path toward collective healing, clarity, and connection.

Over the years, I’ve come to understand that listening, learning, questioning, doing, and simply experiencing are all part of how we come to know ourselves more deeply. I’ve also learned that stillness is underrated, and slow is powerful.

I am always grateful for the privilege of doing this work. And yet, lately I’ve been standing at the edge of exhaustion. I know many of you have felt the same. Yoga reminds us that exhaustion makes us vulnerable, pulling us into a reactive state, pushing us into fight or flight, and keeping us from focusing on what matters most.

Right now, many of us are hitting the proverbial “marathon wall” (between miles 18-22, described as the hardest part of a marathon when glycogen stores deplete). To my left and to my right, I see others ready to drop, unsure if they can keep going.

The truth? These are the very moments when we need each other most. This is when we share encouragement, when we lift each other up, when we discover that resilience is not only something we carry within ourselves, but it lives in the collective strength of our community.

Whether you've been practicing for years or just beginning to crave space to pause, realign, and meet yourself with care, I’d love for you to join us.

🍂 Has anyone else felt a huge shift in energy this week?

With the fall equinox just a few weeks away, it's hard not to notice the pivotal transformation in nature's rhythm and the resulting sense of feeling as unsteady and shakable as the autumn leaves within our bodies and minds.

As the days shorten and temperatures cool, fall is a great time to recalibrate and restore balance... See where this is going?

The truth is, any time is a good time for a regular yoga practice.

Join us this week to cultivate a sense of inner peace and resilience during this transitional season!

As a parent, business owner, and recovering perfectionist, I’ve been well-conditioned by grind culture to believe I must earn my leisure time. Maybe you’ve felt this too, praised for pushing past your limits, rewarded for ignoring your body’s need for rest and care.

But here’s the truth: your worth does not reside in how much you produce.

Rest is not indulgent. Rest is a human right.
It is sacred, healing, and deeply necessary.

At the end of every summer, we lean into this truth by modifying our class schedule for a week as a Summer Cool Down. Fewer classes, more intention, and space to pause.

Scroll to the right to find the modified schedule for this week (as well as on our site). Think of it as a collective invitation to nap, linger, stretch, or simply breathe.

No matter how full your calendar feels, or what transitions are unfolding in your life, I invite you to carve out a little time just for you, whether that’s lying down on your yoga mat for 10 quiet minutes, sleeping in, or savoring an early morning moment of stillness.

We can practice together this season not by doing more, but by choosing to slow down. 🥰

Last week, I suffered a back injury that forced me to stop completely.

At first, I ran through my mental roladex of potential fixes... yoga, heating pads, massage, PT, marma therapy, medications... hmm, I thought to myself, what did I need in this moment of pain and immobility?

But, I couldn't hear the answer over the pain - so, for the first time in a long time, I lay down on the floor, on my back, paused, and permitted myself to feel.

As I spent the next 24 hours allowing my back to rest, I began to feel. I felt deep pain, fear, grief, and the silent, dark parts of my story. I felt old wounds and new worries. I continue to lie, with no rush to fix, no trying to push through, just being.

What surprised me most: healing didn’t come from doing more, it came from allowing more:

💓 Allowing my breath to soften into my body.
💗 Allowing stillness to create space.
💖 Allowing the wisdom of my nervous system to guide me.

Once I stayed present, not to productivity but to presence, my back began to ease. And with it, layers of emotional holding began to gently release.

Once again, Yoga taught me that true change, the kind that transforms, emerges when we ground ourselves in present-moment awareness.

In our busy world, and especially in wellness culture, there’s pressure to do more, teach more, grow more. But my experience reminded me that progress and healing do not always require more activity. Sometimes it asks us to slow down with purpose. To show up more fully for ourselves and our community.

Slowing down is an act of resistance and reclamation. It is the soulful rewilding of presence. It allows us to remember that the universe is not in a hurry; we are.

May your practice this week be transformed not by urgency, but by awareness, compassion, and quiet presence.

Our Story

In the nearly two decades I’ve been practicing yoga, I’ve heard every stereotype and myth about yogis and the yoga world. But the one that has always bugged me the most is that “real” yogis are super thin, bendy, hippy-dippy, woo-woo, tree-hugging flower children who care more about balancing their chakras than their checkbooks.

In fact, most of the people you’ll meet in our community look more like you than like the picture I painted above.

The truth is there is no one “type” of yogi or yoga studio. Yet, we’ve all been to a yoga or fitness class where we were made to feel like we didn’t belong, or we weren’t [thin / strong/ flexible/ young/ athletic/ spiritual/ chill] enough to be there.

When I opened Zia Yoga, I was committed to creating a space where everyone felt not just welcomed – but as though they were exactly where they were meant to be.
