Zoë Soter

Zoë’s contagious spirit will get you though the most challenging poses and ready to try anything! In her class you will be guided to experience the physical and subtle body through movement, mindfulness, and a big smile — bringing out a sense of curiosity and adventure onto the mat.

She first discovered Yoga and Laughing Lotus through her mom and sister who brought her to Friday night midnight Yoga when she was just 17 years old. It wasn’t until moving back home from college at age 22 did she realize how POWERFUL the Lotus Flow practice could be — she loved the music, the dynamic physical movement, the joy of gathering in community, the unexpected challenges, and those moments of potent truths that would bring her to tears. She was hooked on the LOVE! Seeing her mom adventure through the Lotus teacher training and a retreat to India with Astrud inspired her to dive deeper into this passion and she signed up for Yoga school herself. After the training Zoë spent the next year and a half traveling across North Africa, Europe, and the Middle East - carrying the lessons of Yoga and the Lotus Flow movement with her, sharing the magic with whoever was open.

Now, settled back home in the Mission, Zoë is even more in love with what the Lotus and this community has to offer! She believes Yoga should be accessible to ANY body as a means of healing and connecting to Self. By honoring the breath, embracing the asana flow as a dance unique to everyone, and practicing deep listening & curiosity of our inner universe we can all be better prepared to face the world with excitement, bravery, and love. With the use of props and compassion, her vinyasa sequences will meet you where you’re at so the benefits of yoga can be accessible to all!
