"Zahrie was the first yoga instructor I ever felt truly comfortable around, from the second I stepped foot into her class...there was never a moment in which I didn't feel wholly present. Her classes helped me learn that strength really does come from within. I was even able to complete my first shoulder stand after practicing with her for a year. I am always thankful for Zahrie's openness and warmth, and for making my yoga practice all that it is today - an inviting, incredible way to escape from reality for a bit."
