Zenia is a certified alignment based yoga and heart focused meditation teacher, musician, and artist. She is the daughter of Aadil Palkhivala, a world renowned yoga master, Certified Yoga Therapist (IAYT), author, and co founder of Purna Yoga College and Alive and Shine Center. Aadil is widely recognized as the primary protégé of B. K. S. Iyengar and was the youngest person to receive Iyengar’s Advanced Yoga Teacher’s Certificate at age twenty two after beginning his studies at age seven. For decades he has trained yoga teachers across India, Asia, Europe, and the United States and is often referred to as a “teacher of teachers” within the global yoga community.

Zenia is also the daughter of Savitri, the creator of Heartfull Meditation, a practice centered on emotional healing, compassion, and heart based awareness. Savitri has spent decades teaching meditation, guiding students in inner development, and co directing Alive and Shine with Aadil.

Growing up in a family deeply rooted in yoga, meditation, philosophy, and music, Zenia was immersed in these traditions from a young age. Alongside her work as a yoga and meditation teacher, she is also a musician and creative artist who began composing music early in life, blending creativity, wellness, and personal expression in her work.
