Meet Richard

Zenski was founded by Richard Coats, a qualified ski and yoga instructor, personal trainer, and massage therapist whose passion for authentic, meaningful experiences runs deep. Guided by a belief that movement, mindfulness, and the natural world are intrinsically linked, Richard created Zenski to celebrate both the joy of adventure and the grounding power of well-being.​
 
What began as Richard’s personal mission to unite outdoor exploration with holistic practice has grown into a space where people can reconnect with themselves, build confidence, and find balance. Through expert guidance, restorative yoga, and therapeutic bodywork, Zenski is dedicated to helping you feel empowered, energised, and inspired.​
