A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ZOEI

How did it all start?

Prior to discovering Yoga, Zoei was an avid hiker and gym-goer. Having trekked to Everest Base Camp and Machu Picchu on foot, she always thought that Yoga was just about stretching and was never really interested — until one day, her friend, Belinda, needed a companion to attend a Yoga class with her.

After her first session, she was physically challenged and completely mind-blown. Having worked muscles that she never imagined even existed, she discovered that while Yoga is a practice of strength and flexibility, she also experienced such a profound calming effect simply through breathing. She was humbled by the experience and instantly hooked.

Zoei started committing herself fully to understanding Yoga, and it has since transformed her lifestyle, the way she looks at things, and her relationships with people.

With increased vibrations, Zoei started attracting positive and beautiful things into her life. At the beginning of 2020, she was given the opportunity to practise Yoga on the helipad of the iconic Burj Al Arab in Dubai, UAE, alongside world-renowned Australian yogini, Sjana Elise.

Zoei completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2020 and began teaching students from around the world through the Yoga Teacher Training programme at Arohan Yoga School in Rishikesh, as well as individuals through private classes. With over 3,000 teaching hours, teaching and sharing Yoga has become one of the most fulfilling and rewarding journeys of her life.

Zoei completed her 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2022 and is now an E-RYT500 with Yoga Alliance. She has taught a wide range of students through private, group, corporate and teacher training programmes, and has trained and graduated more than 70 aspiring Yoga teachers.

In 2021, Zoei represented Singapore in the first International Yoga Olympics, competing in the Yoga Flow category and winning 2nd place — the Silver Medal.

Zoei currently serves as the President of the Singapore Yoga Association (SYA), a National Sports Association recognised by Sport Singapore and the Singapore National Olympic Committee. She is also the official representative for Singapore with the International Yoga Federation.

In addition to her teaching and leadership roles, Zoei is passionate about making Yoga and wellness practices accessible to the wider community. She actively contributes to community programmes through Dementia Singapore and Wecare Community Services, using Yoga, mindfulness and wellness practices to support different communities.

Zoei is also a Brain Longevity Specialist certified by the Alzheimer's Research & Prevention Foundation (ARPF) and conducts Brain Longevity and wellness workshops incorporating Yoga, meditation, breathing and lifestyle practices. Her work in Singapore with Dementia Singapore was featured by the Alzheimer’s Research & Prevention Foundation in its Brain Longevity Specialist Spotlight, highlighting her efforts to bring brain health education and Brain Longevity practices into wider community outreach.

Zoei also serves on the People's Association Talent Advisory Panel for Yoga, contributing her experience and knowledge to the development and engagement of Yoga instructors within the community.
