about
Zoya means life. REimagine yours with me
Life reimagined through restoration, relaxation, and real connections.
Through restorative yoga, relaxing retreats, and real connections, Zoya Wellness is a community for women of color reimagining more for their lives.
I’ve always wanted more for my life.
The life I was living was limiting, soul-sucking, and disempowering
I was burnt out from the corporate hustle with limited support as a Black woman. My life was no longer what I imagined as a child. I reimagined my life and what it could be—not what it should be.
So I…
Took a three-month mental-health leave.
Traveled to 25 countries before my 25th birthday.
Experienced diverse cultures with women who looked like me.
But I didn’t stop there. I reimagined some more…
I lived in 3 different countries, traveled to 30, made lifelong connections, and planned a lot of group and solo trips
I became a 200 Registered Yoga Teacher through The Bhakti Center in New York
I studied circle facilitation with Gloetry Assembly.
I got Usui Reiki Level I & II Certified with Minka Brooklyn
I completed a silent retreat in Bali and yoga retreats at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health
as a woman of color, the lives sold to us are Bull****
My mother and my grandmother—inspired me to imagine my best life.
They inspired the work ethic that secured my scholarship to Howard University. On campus, I watched as Black excellence and success walked in all forms as authors, artists, accountants, and advocates. They wanted more and found it. I got my first job out of college at Google and built a career in the tech industry, specifically in corporate social impact. I imagined a life that impacted the world at some of the world’s most impactful companies—like Google and DoorDash. I became a homeowner at 27, my work was recognized with awards, and I became a dog mom to a cocker spaniel, the exact breed of little Tasia’s dreams. I had the life I imagined—the corporate job, the bank account, the home…but not still not the life.
my life reimagined is
creating space for restoration, relaxation, and real connections for women of color
core values
We live through inteNtionality, immersion, and imagination
intentionality
We are intentional in everything we do. Every activity is designed for you to connect with yourself and others., while supporting local communities. We intentionally prioritize working with women-owned local businesses as we prioritize ourselves.
immersion
We immerse ourselves in authentic experiences. We commit to being students of the cultures we experience. To reconnect to ourselves and the destination, we find magic in authentic cuisine, boutique hotels, and local activities that immerse us in different countries, people, and languages.
imagination
We reimagine life at home and abroad. When the retreat or class ends, the reimagining doesn’t. We don’t limit ourselves or others. We hold space for limitless imagination. Zoya Wellness provides tools to reimagine and build your life at home and abroad. Supportive relationships included.

Relaxing Retreats
A relaxed soul is a fertile ground for self-discovery and mindset expansion. Every retreat is intentionally curated with activities that immerse you in the destination and your authentic self.
The entire retreat is planned for you. Allow this to be an opportunity where you sit back, relax, and leave your laptop at home - all you have to do is book your flight. We’ll enjoy authentic cuisine provided by local chefs in boutique villas, and mindful yoga classes. We’ll spend our days at the spa, immersed in sound baths, and watching sunrises and sunsets.
Programs & Services
restorative yoga
Yoga is not just a workout or stretching; it is a spiritual and physical practice to reconnect you with your body and soul. The purpose of restorative yoga is to rest into your poses—and into your reimagined life—in a way where you’re fully supported. Our intention is to provide a safe space where your body is honored, celebrated, and equipped with the tools for restoration and ease.
real community
It’s hard to reimagine your life when you’re isolated and uninspired. My reimagined life is inspired through real connections. There’s power in co-creating the magic of reimagination. Every event, class, or retreat is designed to help you build community with women in a similar phase of life.
giving back
We aim to make our trips, workshops, and resources as accessible as possible - knowing that the communities we build with and travel to have been historically disenfranchised and separated from access to resources. A portion of all proceeds goes to supporting local nonprofit organizations, we aim to hire local as much as possible, and also aim to provide scholarships and accessible spots for each retreat destination.
For certain workshops and programming we provide sliding scale access based on the green bottle method, allowing people to pay according to their available resources. If you can afford to invest more to support other women of color in participating, you can always reach out to info@zoya-wellness.com to do so.
