ZENOBIA'S STORY
my first TIME EXPERIENCING yoga WAS IN 1995. I was a 20-year old new mom trying to lose my pregnancy weight.
I'd gained 60lbs!!
I knew very little about yoga at the time. In fact, the little I knew was untrue: "yoga is evil," the mudras/hand gestures, chanting, and mantras are demonic.
But how could something that allowed me to feel so peaceful be ungodly. So I took out a membership at a local gym and signed up for every type of class available: Step aerobics. Spin/Cycling. Cross-Training. Kickboxing. Pilates. And yoga. I even had a personal trainer for about a year. I was so infatuated with working out that I looked into becoming a trainer myself. Though that did not happen, I realized that I wasn't just trying to get off baby weight, I was battling something deeper.
Most of my life I've been unhappy with my weight. For someone who was never overweight, I always saw myself as bigger than I was. I didn't know it at the time but I was struggling with dysmorphophobia. I thought my thighs and breasts were too big and that they made me look "fat." "Body positivity" was not a thing in the 80s and 90s. In high school, I started taking OTC diet pills. I would binge eat and purge. I would not eat for days at a time. My behavior wasn't so extreme that it got the attention of my parents, but I was obsessed! I wanted to be skinny.... I was only 107-110lbs.
This battle would go on throughout my twenties and even into my 30s and 40s. The only time I would feel ok with my body, connected is when I would practice yoga. It became my go to whenever I would be overwhelmed with stress. With yoga I could decompress, relieve the stress, and find my way back to myself.
But with parenting, work, and school, I couldn't stay on schedule. I would do some poses at home and meditate here and there, but even that waned...I was so tired. Then the cycle would repeat.
In 2021, I received the call to get serious about yoga and deepen my practice. I signed up for yoga teacher training to do just that--not to become a yoga teacher. While in training I quit my job as a magazine editor (something I'd planned to do long before signing up), and at the end of the training was moved to become a yoga teacher. I received my certification in June 2022 and have not looked back! As I continued to work one-on-one with family and friends, I knew this would be my focus for teaching: helping people individually achieve their transformation goals. I wanted to focus on helping people to heal themselves so that they can heal their relationships with hopes that those healed relationships can transform the world in which we live. And so that's what I do. No longer through writing and editing award-winning columns and articles on the impacts and solutions to social injustices, but through the healing modality of yoga!

As a certified yoga teacher and sound healer, I study yoga and emphasize approaches in yoga therapy, mindfulness, breath work, yoga Nidra, and healing race-based trauma.
