"Zach brought a great sense of humor and stories that kept us all entertained, his passion with singing is also pretty great as well. Zach is amazing, it’s really hard to say much more, he has an amazing, welcoming presence. He is kind and empathic, offering a safe space, in an environment that was very emotional for me at different times. He has a lovely energy and so much knowledge about what seems like everything. I am so pleased he was the facilitator, I am so grateful to him and his hard work. He pulled out all the stops to make everything special and a memorable experience"

"Zach is very easy going and brought a very light and fun attitude to our space. At the same time he was clear with his teaching and did a great job"

"Zach has an awesome and loving presence. He has the ability to break down peoples walls and allow them to find their voice. He truly cares and is a being of love. He has an vast knowledge of yoga and life in general. He is a great guide"

"Zach was such an amazing teacher…. He teaches difficult subjects with such ease and grace to teach the group. He is very organized and able to teach a lesson so everyone can understand it with all of the examples and metaphors he adds to his lessons. His yoga practice is also beautiful and inspiring for his knowledge of yoga and knowledge of anatomy and the brain"

"I characterize Zach by saying “with a smile like Neem Karoli Baba, a brain like Newton and a heart all their own,” which is to say that he has a great duality of strength of tenderness in his facilitation. He is highly knowledgeable and can nerd out on the details of anatomy and sanskrit and asana (and a plethora of other topics) but he can bring it back up to a lightness that keeps it accessible, informative and fun for everyone"

"Zach is a gifted facilitator who creates safe community space infused with loving presence. He is extremely knowledgeable and teaches from a place of experience, service and dedication. He provides highly dynamic classes that challenge, provoke thought and successfully teach concepts and ideas. Zach is warm, available, and professional with his students"

"Zach is incredibly joyful and energetic and really kept the energy, initiative and participation up throughout the entire training. Well learned in yoga and knowledge of life and more. Willingness to listen all the time. His musical passion you could see in his eyes and body. Direct personality. He’s so funny and always kept the energy light even when we were all exhausted. He really cares about his students and is extremely empathetic. He is very well spoken and expresses the lessons with interest and true knowledge, and made it easy to understand"

"Zach is kind and very gentle, something that our group needed. He is SMART! As a professor I enjoyed learning from him and his teaching style"

"Zach creates a beautiful setting through poetry and story-telling that allows you to close your eyes and create a serene, sacred space. He is able to integrate subtle humor and lightheartedness into his teachings. The depth of his knowledge around the outer/inner workings of the human body is evident through the way he is able to explain something in more ways than one. His organizational skills, providing resources, and handling logistics were very helpful to the program. Zach’s teaching style is a path of beautiful stones that guide you forward, as the wind whispers poems with mystical wisdom and the trees present clear teachings of the world."

"Thank you for that upbeat energy. I get inspired and almost like a runners high when I’m vibing on the same energy as someone else and I felt like that with you. The way you design your classes is great and how you can hold space and create a great environment for all levels of yogi is special."

I will never forget this opportunity to share space with Zach. I am so grateful for his humor, playfulness and poetry. It is clear he is an incredibly intelligent human. I appreciated his laid back nature yet great professionalism. Just a lovely soul. Thank you so much, Zach, I can’t imagine a better co-facilitor for this experience. I am sad for anyone who does a teacher training and they don’t get to have you holding space for them. I hope we can share a giggle in person one day. 🙂
