Meet Sonia:
Introduced to Yoga in 2000, she was immediately drawn to the emotional and physical healing properties of this practice. Her light hearted approach to teaching stems from the notion that life is serious but yoga doesn’t have to be. She feels that our practice should not be rigid and dogmatic and that every body can practice some form of yoga. She loves to infuse her classes with different sequences and poses while inspiring her students to find the practice that fits their individual needs. Sonia’s extensive study with renowned Yin teachers Paul Grilley, Bernie Clark, Sarah Powers, Paulie Zink and Jo Phee enriches this module with profound insights.
