Zhenja’s teaching encourages students to explore the vast potential of their own hearts and bodies by emphasizing the transformative and therapeutic aspects of  yoga. A dedicated practitioner since 1999, Zhenja has studied extensively in the Anusara Yoga tradition and was certified in 2005. In February 2012, she resigned her license with Anusara, Inc.

In her classes, Zhenja joyfully shares the insights from her dedicated personal practice and the revelations of everyday experience. Her teaching is informed by her longtime sadhana with Douglas Brooks in the empowering and life-savoring philosophy of the Rajanaka Tantra.

Known and sought after for her precision, clarity, and delight in detail, Zhenja is a true teachers’ teacher who has mentored and trained many teachers on the path of Anusara Yoga.

Zhenja offers unbounded gratitude to all of her teachers, including Douglas Brooks, Sianna Sherman, John Friend, Paul Muller-Ortega, and Amy Ippoliti.
