Zen Forbes first turned to yoga in 2014 as a way to help manage depression, and quickly found it to be a powerful tool for both physical and emotional healing. Zen began teaching in 2016, and his teaching style is characterized by a calming yet fun energy that creates an inclusive space for students to explore their physical and spiritual growth.

Known for his ability to bring a joyful, light-hearted energy to the mat, Zen blends mindfulness with movement in a way that uplifts and inspires. He often plays a mix of Erykah Badu and Major Lazer during his classes, setting a vibe that’s both soulful and energizing. His approach to yoga is all about helping students express themselves, not only through their bodies but also through their authentic spirits. 

Outside of the studio, Zen is a traveling tattoo artist, spending his time perfecting his craft. He is deeply connected to his artistic mission, which centers on helping others express themselves through both ink and movement. Zen is also the proud parent of two Pomeranians and enjoys deepening his own yoga practice when he’s not teaching.
