Meet Zoja Smutny: Architect of Wellness, Ambassador of Energy

Zoja Smutny—an artist, energy healer, yoga instructor, and entrepreneur navigating between Athens, LA, and the captivating landscapes of Folegandros, Greece. With a versatile spirit, Zoja manages a yoga and wellness studio during the summer months on the Cycladic Island of Folegandros. Zoja's roots intertwine her Greek and Czech heritage, connecting to a lineage of female healers. Evolving from her role as a choreographer and performer with a Masters in Solo Dance Authorship from the University du Kunst in Berlin, Zoja's artistic journey seamlessly transitioned into the realm of healing. Her repertoire spans yoga, Thai massage, healing touch, reiki, and is crowned with a certificate as a Holistic Health Practitioner from The Transformational Arts College in Toronto.

Inhale, Expand. Exhale, Soften.

Having traversed the globe—from Thailand to LA, Berlin to Mexico, Spain to Prague, Athens to Montreal—Zoja's diverse experiences have shaped her distinctive approach to well-being. Summers find her hosting transformative yoga retreats and offering healing touch energy treatments on the enchanting island of Folegandros.

Zoja is such a gifted and intuitive healer. I immediately felt seen and restored from our session. Her ability to help me feel energized and held was a very rare experience for me. During our session I felt complete trust in her ability to understand the emotional, physical and metaphysical factors at play. She also offers a unique environment through the use of curated music and calming atmosphere.

Romy Lightman, Musician, Toronto

Zoja is a healer. While she may tell you that she does not like that word, don't listen. I was the beneficiary of experiencing her amazing powers of healing in Folegandros. I lived with chronic lower back pain for several years. After a few weeks of attending her daily yoga class and three reiki sessions my pain was gone. I mean, gone, gone! Six months later and my back feels great and I feel ten years younger.

Hans Peter Brondmo, Google Executive, California

Zoja worked with me online, because she’s insanely good and I totally trust her. I wanted/needed her feedback. I was struggling, dealing with a traumatic event, layered on top of big changes, menopause, motherhood… She connected with me and spoke to me about my chakras, she reminded me to consider where I was actually, not only where I was going. It was grounding and exciting and I felt shifted and awake after. Everything she said made sense, through imagery, sensation, her tone and language. In my memory it’s as though we were in the same room.

Sharon Smith, Performance Artist / Professor, Devon, England

As a healer Zoja helped me cope with my mum’s grief on a very profound level and unblocked any shadow areas. If you are into the path of transforming your life and are ready to do the work, Zoja is a great companion to walk along.

Constantine, Luxury Brand Consultant, Paris, France

Having been to two retreats on Folegandros Island and have Zoja as a healing practitioner is something I carry with me in my body, heart and being. She has so much skill and knowledge in how she creates a safe space to open my body and allow me to listen to what I need. Self care is essential, and having hands on touch therapy with Zoja is an integral part of how I am understanding how to navigate this for myself.

Stacy Hannah, Firefighter, Toronto

Zoja is an intuitive healer. Her skills go beyond her practical and expansive knowledge of the body. Her gift is her connection to your whole being, mind, body and soul. Practicing with Zoja has connected me to what lies beneath and as such has allowed me to truly tap into my healing journey.

Laura Clunie, Senior Vice President of Spin Master Entertainment, Toronto

Zoja’s yoga classes are easily the best classes I have ever attended. Zoja is technically brilliant, explaining the positions and understanding the anatomy as well as being a creative, warm, funny and authentic teacher. Her classes are a treat for the body and soul, heart opening, releasing, enlivening and joyful. She is an extraordinary yoga teacher who understands the body and spirit and exactly what they need.
