Testimonials
"It is said that yoga postures should be practices with equal amounts of strength and flexibility. That perfect balance of trust-inspiring steadiness and light-hearted ease is what Zena brings to her teaching. Her presence made the last two trainings we attended and gave together a real pleasure. I believe anyone who joins an endeavour that she's a part of will feel the same way."
- C. Khatib., yoga teacher, Broummana
“Zena’s yoga classes are exceptional! I’ve been taking her classes for more than 8 years and it has impacted my life in so many ways. Her approach is subtle and empowering. Most importantly, she teaches us how to listen to and respect our bodies. Zena’s beautiful spirit makes anyone love yoga.”
- G. Lababidi, Beirut
"Zena is one of the most wonderful women I’ve known. She is as beautiful inside as outside. Her presence is loving and healing. Her hands and listening are full of respect and tender attentive care. Both are for me the most important aspects of a good therapeutic practitioner. |
"الصف مع زينة مريح جدا و كان بالنسبة لي محطة لخفض التوتر و تجديد الطاقة و الإحساس بالذات. كنت إطلع منه بحيوية و إتدفاع للحياة" "بعمل كل جهدي إحضر جلسات الحركة و التنفس مع زينة خاصة لما بتكون نفسيتي تعبانة وأفكاري عم تخوفني و محتاجة للسلام." |
"Zena is a pioneer in undertakings that promote social recovery and individual healing through yoga, movement and body-based therapies. “Zena’s approach to yoga and bodyworks allows anyone to participate. She gives us space to listen and observe to our body and to challenge or simply feel what is happening to it. Her verbal directions are gentle but effective at keeping us focused on what we are doing or feeling. I always leave her sessions feeling a little taller, better balanced and more forgiving of my body.” |
“When it comes to yoga, Zena is the real deal. I walk out from her class feeling refreshed, energized and, most importantly, present. Her technical understanding of yoga and anatomy makes her class both beneficial and scientifically interesting at the same time. It is a pleasure to take her class.” |
Zena is a very, very good teacher. I’ve been following her Sunday morning yoga classes more-or-less regularly while here in Beirut. She has a unique style, very calming. She is not trying to follow any “template”, instead I feel that she is letting each session’s mood lead the way, so it is always different and new, yet in a relaxed manner. |
“Zena’s is a gentle, mindful and flowing class with always new and sometimes surprising sequences that are at times elaborate and other times perfectly simple. I really appreciate the unique narrative style she uses to guide us – sometimes in multiple languages! – using both anatomical precision and creative visualizations to stimulate both body and mind. |
