Emily Zachar - Founder

RYT-500 Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Somatic Movement Guide, Sound Healer, Soul Coach, Shamanic Reiki Master

I founded Soul Healing Collective (formerly Zata Soul Healing) in 2022 and left my corporate career in 2023 to pursue healing arts full time. I offer yoga (Hatha, Vinyasa, Kundalini, Yin, Nidra) and healing/energy services (Soul Coaching, Sound Healing, Reiki, and Shamanic Energy Healing) with an emphasis on mind-body-soul integration, breathwork, meditation, and other awareness practices.

My teachers have taught me that I am my own best healer. And I want you to unlock your own magic, just as I have. To come home to yourself, through a deeper relationship with your body, mind, and soul. To realize you already have everything you’ve ever needed to live your highest timeline, starting right now. To remove the blocks that stand between your heart and your fully actualized self. To remember who you really are, and let it set you free.

Jade Jeng

RYT-200, Vinyasa, Hatha, Sensual and Somatic Movement Guide

Jade became a part of the Soul Healing Collective team in Spring of 2025 after connecting with the amazing studio owner, Emily! She has a background in Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, sensual and somatic movement, and dance. At the Soul Healing Collective studio in Ballard, she offers Align Yoga, Sensual Yin, Chair Flow, and Heels. She also offers private individual and partner Yoga sessions and often supports Emily during the monthly Divine Feminine Circles. From her first Yoga class venture in college back in 2001 to my RYT 200 training in late 2023, her journey has been quite an adventure! Her interest in and experience with Yoga as a mindful physical, emotional, and spiritual practice has contributed to her life in immeasurable ways, bringing her healing in unexpected ways. Her love for dance and somatic movement began years before she had even heard of the word. All of her teachers along the way have taught her to flow and to follow, and she hope to share all of the beauty she has experienced with all she encounters.
