Zoya Lu is a full-time Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher E-RYT 200 (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) who teaches yoga in its ancient and traditional purity - yet in a modern scientific framework.

Zoya began her yoga practice as a means of staying fit and healthy while she was pursuing challenging international trading career in Taiwan. Yoga practice helped her to manage the physical and emotional stresses of her job - consistent back pain and anxiety that she experienced at that time. She soon realized that the value of yoga is much greater than what it can do for one's body or mind. Zoya credits yoga with bringing a whole new spiritual dimension into her life and a definite change into her consciousness. Her rewards from the practice of yoga inspired her to share it with others.

Zoya has completed a number of teacher-training courses both in the East and West which include classical hatha yoga, tantric yoga and swara yoga, universal yoga, yoga therapy, and yoga philosophy, courses of prenatal and postnatal yoga. She has also learned different meditation techniques as vipassana, mantra meditation and yoga nidra to name a few. She has experienced practice of asanas and pranayamas of different styles (Anusara, Ashtanga, Kundalini, Bikram, Iyengar, etc) at various studios in Taiwan, Thailand, Hong Kong, India, Ukraine, the UK and the USA.

Today Zoya is happy to share her passion of yoga with people in Malta where she has been residing with her husband for the past six years.
