ABOUT ME
I am a fat Yoga Teacher.
I started practising yoga almost 20 years ago.
Through this, I learned a deep appreciation for my body.
I gained confidence in myself and my abilities,
and developed a greater capacity for mindfulness.
These assets have vastly increased the quality of every facet of my life.
It is my goal to create safe spaces for all bodies, abilities, genders, and identities,
wherein I share my Aqua and Studio Yoga practice in a light-hearted, fun, approachable manner.
I offer body positive, accessible, joyful movement Aqua, Studio, and Outdoor Yoga classes,
taught through a trauma-informed lens.
My classes are strictly anti-diet spaces.
I enjoy working with folks in larger bodies, Veterans, Military Members, and their loved ones,
folks who have experienced trauma, including survivors of Military Sexual Trauma,
and/or live with Post-Traumatic Stress/Disorder/Injury.
I am a Certified Aqua Yoga Instructor, a Registered Yoga Teacher (CYA-E-RYT 400 & RYT-200),
a Certified Accessible Yoga Teacher, an iRest® Yoga Nidra Teacher,
and a Certified Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher through Transforming Sexual Trauma Through Yoga,
Warriors at Ease, Veterans Yoga Project, and Yogafit for Warriors®.
Additionally, this will be my fourth year teaching Yoga with Adoptable Puppies at Pet-A-Palooza.
Given this is a family event, I also completed certification as a Children's Yoga Teacher.
It is my hope you will join me.
Come explore a different way to yoga.
Wishing you wellness and all good things,
Sonia
