Meet Zoe Zeng of Zyana Yoga Studio

Today we’d like to introduce you to Zoe Zeng.

Hi Zoe, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My journey with yoga began during one of the hardest seasons of my life. I was struggling with chronic back pain, anxiety, and the challenges of navigating life with a language barrier. I often felt overwhelmed and unsure of myself. Stepping onto the mat changed everything. Yoga became my therapy, my strength, and my voice. It helped me heal physically, find calm mentally, and rebuild my confidence from the inside out.

What started as personal healing grew into a purpose. I became a teacher, then a studio owner, and founded Zyana Yoga Studio to create the kind of space I once needed — welcoming, supportive, and empowering.

Today, I’m not only an entrepreneur but also a proud mom of three boys. Yoga didn’t just transform my health — it gave me the courage to build a community and a life stronger than I ever imagined.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. I started while managing back pain, anxiety, and a language barrier, all while raising three boys and building a business from the ground up. As a mom and small business owner, I wore every hat — teacher, cleaner, marketer, and manager — sometimes all in the same day. It was exhausting, but it made me stronger and more resourceful. Yoga taught me resilience and helped me keep moving forward.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Zyana Yoga Studio is a welcoming, community-centered space where yoga feels accessible and supportive rather than intimidating. We offer strength, flow, and restorative classes that help people feel stronger in both body and mind. Beyond the studio, we host retreats, lead teacher trainings, and are growing a yoga clothing line to inspire mindful living on and off the mat. More than anything, we’re proud to be a place where people feel at home

Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
For me, mentorship and networking have always started with genuine relationships, not business cards. I focused on showing up, serving my community, and learning from people I truly respect. Some of my best mentors were simply teachers, fellow studio owners, or students who shared their experiences openly.

My advice is to stay humble, be curious, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. When you lead with authenticity and kindness, the right people naturally find their way to you.
