I am a fat Yoga Teacher.

I started practising yoga almost 20 years ago.

From this, I learned a deep appreciation for my body.

I gained confidence in myself and my abilities, which led me to a place of body love.

These qualities became indispensable at a time when I felt my body had failed me,

after I sustained several injuries from a car accident.

As part of my rehabilitation, I was introduced to Aqua Yoga, a gentle practice that was vital to my recovery. 

 

It has since been my goal to create safe spaces

that are accepting of 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 and Registered Yoga Teacher (CYA-RYT 250 & RYT-200),

a Certified Accessible Yoga Teacher,

and a Veterans Yoga Project, Warriors at Ease Level 1, Yogafit for Warriors®,

and iRest® Yoga Nidra Level 1 Yoga Teacher.

​

It is my hope that you will join me.

Come explore a different way to yoga.

​

Wishing you wellness and all good things,
Sonia
