Tell us about yourself, Zahzah.
I’m Tirzah Love, a chef, wellness facilitator, pleasure priestess, and mama. After more than a decade feeding bodies as a private chef, I now also nourish souls through yoga, movement, and ritual. I teach Yin Yoga and Sultry Stretch as pathways to embodiment, sensuality, and deep rest. I’m passionate about helping people return to themselves; through breath, stillness, sound, and movement. My work is rooted in softness, soul, and self-liberation.
What do you love the most about practicing yoga?
Yoga is where I come home to my body. It reminds me that I don’t have to earn rest, that pleasure is a birthright, and that stillness can be just as powerful as movement.
What do you love the most about teaching yoga?
I love guiding people into their pleasure, helping them drop out of their heads and into their hips, their breath, their longing. When someone allows themselves to release, to moan, cry, smile, or sigh. I know something sacred has happened. Being trusted to hold space for that is a true honor.
What is your favorite yoga pose?
Supported butterfly, hips open, chest soft, heart wide. It feels like an altar I can rest on.
What is your least favorite yoga pose?
Plank. My wrists have a very vocal opinion about it.
What is your favorite place to visit OR a place you’d like to go someday?
I recently fell in love with Paris, but I deeply long to visit West Africa—Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria—to honor my ancestral lineage and experience the land firsthand.
What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?
I used to cook for NBA players and Fortune 500 execs, and now I’m a barefoot mama teaching sultry stretch in a candlelit room with Sade playing in the background. I’m also a pole hobbyist, it’s one of my favorite ways to celebrate my body and reclaim joy through movement.
What is your favorite quote, or your favorite piece of advice?
“Your softness is not a weakness. It is your superpower.” I teach this. I live this. I believe in the power of softness, especially for those of us taught to be hard.
What else would you like our community to know about you?
I’m not here to teach you how to be flexible. I’m here to help you feel: pleasure, presence, power. As a pleasure priestess, I believe embodiment is a form of prayer. Whether I’m guiding breath, stretching hips, or sharing a meal, my mission is always the same: to help you come home to your body, your truth, and your joy.
