"If we haven't the strength to impose our own terms upon life, then we must accept what it offers us." − T.S. Elliot

Everett Newell is the founder of Zuna Yoga®, a globally recognized yoga school based in Bali, Indonesia, that has nurtured an international community of thousands of dedicated practitioners and instructors. With over three decades of experience, Everett masterfully bridges ancient yogic wisdom with contemporary science, offering transformative experiences that guide participants toward empowerment and self-mastery.

Before dedicating his life to yoga, Everett spent eight years serving in Army Intelligence, developing a sharp analytical mind and a deep appreciation for precision and strategy. His natural affinity for engineering, mathematics, neuroscience, psychology, and cosmology informs his distinctive teaching methodology—a synthesis that weaves together the depth of Tantric Hatha Yoga, meditation, and pranayama with insights from modern science.

Initially trained in martial arts, Everett’s journey unfolded through a deep immersion into diverse Eastern traditions, giving rise to an approach that remains firmly rooted in ancient wisdom while being expanded by contemporary knowledge.

Through Zuna Yoga®, Everett has personally led impactful yoga teacher trainings and retreats across Indonesia, Italy, Cambodia, and Egypt, with further global expansion planned for 2025.

Passionate about helping individuals unlock their fullest potential, Everett continues to inspire profound personal and professional growth, fostering clarity of purpose and holistic well-being.

Dr. Marion Tharrey

PhD in Public Health Nutrition

LEAD TRAINER ERYT200® / RYT500

“It is better to live your destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection” – Bhagavad Gita

Born and raised in the South of France, Marion holds an MSc in Nutrition and Human Diet Sciences, along with a PhD in Public Health Nutrition. After completing her PhD in 2020, she embarked on a postdoctoral research journey in Luxembourg, where she focused on how urban environments can foster healthy living through balanced nutrition, physical activity, mental well-being, and health equity.

Marion’s passion for movement has been a defining feature of her life. Upon moving to Luxembourg, a foot injury led her to discover yoga, which quickly became central to her daily routine. The practice offered her an unparalleled sense of grounding and well-being, transforming what began as a leisure activity into a profound journey of self-discovery.

Eager to deepen her understanding, Marion explored various yoga styles, including Vinyasa, Hatha, Jivamukti, and Ashtanga, each enriching her appreciation for their cultural and philosophical roots. Drawn to the comprehensive and scientifically rigorous approach of the Zuna Yoga®️ system, she completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) with Zuna Yoga. Teaching soon became a passion, as she found immense joy in creating nurturing spaces where students could thrive on their inward journeys.

Marion’s connection with Zuna Yoga deepened when she returned to Bali to complete her 300-hour YTT. Inspired by the innovative and creative spirit of Zuna Yoga’s founder, Everett, she joined the Zuna Yoga team in 2024. Marion now combines her scientific expertise and love for yoga to guide others toward more soulful and meaningful lives, fully aligning with Zuna Yoga’s mission to integrate ancient Tantric methodologies with modern science.

 

To practice, study and share knowledge that will help humans come into alignment with their natural selves, become more compassionate, inclusive, and loving, so that we leave this planet in slightly better shape than we were lucky enough to enter it. To achieve this through conscious movement, stillness and breath is journey of a lifetime, it is the journey of my lifetime”

LUCIA HEGENBARTOVA

M.Sc. in Business Administration

TRAINER ERYT200® / RYT500

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
— Carl Gustav Jung

Following her interest in technology and consciousness, Lucia has contributed to turning multiple early-stage technology startups into global market leaders over the last 15 years, while embarking on a journey of inner exploration through art, yoga, meditation and a wide range of body-based practices. She is captivated by the magic of merging seemingly opposite perspectives between the analytical and the intuitive realm, business and meaning, art and science, tech and wisdom, AI and humanity.

Lucia has completed her 200 hr and 300 hr YTT and 300 hr MTT with Zuna Yoga. She is pursuing the teaching path in parallel to her career as a technology executive, striving for an integration between thinking and feeling, and between the worldly and spiritual realms in her way of life. She is interested in holistic health, longevity, embodiment, mindfulness and exploring the nature of perception and consciousness. Lucia is particularly passionate about exploring the power of breath to modulate the emotional state and cognitive performance and aims to bring the wisdom of breath into boardrooms around the world.

Angelina Stolz

Lead Trainer - ERYT500®

“ I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion, and where it isn’t, that’s where my work lies.” - Ram Dass

Angelina was born and raised in a small town in the countryside of Austria. At age of 22 she moved to Vienna to study Nutritional Sciences and work as a model, which marked the beginning of a period of enormous change, growth and new possibilities. Shortly after arriving in the city, she attended her first yoga class and instantly fell in love with the practice.

It didn’t take long for her to realize she wanted to dive much deeper into the world of yoga and to share her love for it with others. Within a year, she completed her first 200YTT and immediately began teaching at several studios in Vienna. Pursuing her passion in a dedicated manner, she also traveled around the world, teaching at hotels and festivals in Europe and the South Pacific.

Angelina was born and raised in a small town in the countryside of Austria.

Shortly after arriving in the city, she attended her first yoga class and instantly fell in love with the practice.

Angelina was fascinated by the teachings and methods of Zuna Yoga. The lectures go far beyond teaching Yoga and its philosophy – from ancient tradition to modern science, connecting and combining it all with direct experience, giving a clear understanding of what Yoga is about and how to embody and live it in the modern world.

Angelina later joined the Zuna Yoga team to enjoy the fulfillment and privilege of sharing this knowledge, helping and supporting students on their way closer to themselves.

Yoga is pure magic for me. My life has completely changed ever since Yoga found its way into my life a couple years ago. I was in a very difficult time when I attended my first class ever, and it has become my safe space. My Yoga practice saved me, it opened up the world to me and made me feel and realize that I have a home within myself for the first time in my life. Being part of the Zuna Yoga team and supporting so many beautiful souls on their way is just amazing.” – Angelina
