Philosophy
Why It Matters
Yoga Therapy brings unique benefits to individuals who have lost their sense of well-being.
Yoga in its least effective form conforms the individual to the ideals yoga without considering the needs and desires of the individual.
Yoga in its most effective form is a personalized practice incorporating breath, movement, and meditation, that leaves the practitioner feeling relaxed and nourished.

Testimonials
What People are Saying
“Beyond Physical Movement”
“Sonia creates an atmosphere of acceptance. Self acceptance and group acceptance. Sonia draws me beyond the physical movement into an enveloping sense of spiritual awareness that relaxes and nurtures the mind. I am in the moment at every moment and I feel beautiful.” – K.S.
“Almost as Good as In Person”
“Zoom yoga classes are almost as good as in person. There is a sense of community with the other online students and Sonia is still able to offer me suggestions and tips during class. I love the variations Sonia introduces in class and I always feel calmer at the end.” H.A.
“Your Needs”
“How often in your daily life do you hear someone say, “Now ask yourself: Is there just one more thing you can do to make yourself a little more comfortable?” That’s a rare and remarkable request, isn’t it? It’s all about caring about YOU: your comfort, your well-being, your sense of peace. That’s a bit of everyday magic.” – BB
“Skilled Guide”
“In the past I had tried many times to meditate without success. When Sonia lead me through a guided meditation I didn’t think I could even do 5 minutes, but I did and one of our sessions consisted of a 45min guided meditation focused on healing. Wow what a powerful session that was.” – RVW
Yoga Therapy
If you would like to be empowered to manage your health and well-being yoga therapy is for you. Yoga therapy works with the being as a whole. It is impactful because it simultaneously works on the body, emotions, mind, and spirit. All parts of the being are affected. This is important because underlying root causes of pain and suffering are often subtle and yet deep. Through customized practices the root causes may begin to show themselves to be processed and released. This is how yoga therapy is different from yoga. In yoga one studies the practices of yoga, but in yoga therapy the individual is the focus with self-care strategies implemented to bring about a greater degree of health and well-being.
The field of yoga therapy is not yet regulated. The most well-known designation is Certified Yoga Therapist (CYT). Yoga therapy is most commonly taught in the Viniyoga tradition. One can determine the qualifications of a yoga therapist based on their education. For example, to be a yoga teacher, it usually takes at least 200 hours of training and to be a yoga therapist, it takes at least 1000 hours.
