I love yoga for many reasons. Yoga is so much more than a physical practice. Yoga is the experience and understanding of the nature and meaning of reality.
First we must heal our bodies and our minds, so that our vessel is strong, next the true depth of the practices begin to reveal themselves. Yoga has been a profound and central part of my own life from a young age. I was lucky enough to wander into a yoga class as teenager, and the practice took hold of me and never let go. It helped me heal my mind, my body, and my spirit in ways I never thought possible. This feeling is best summed up by one of my favorite quotes from my great teacher Sianna Sherman:
“Yoga appeared in my life at the darkest hour. Yoga arrived as a warrior of truth. Yoga captured my whole being like a thief in the night. Yoga put me on my own funeral pyre and then lit it on fire. I have been burning ever since.” -Sianna Sherman
Every single human being on this planet has a depth within them which is as infinite as the universe itself. It is my sincere hope and work in this life, to help people connect with their essential nature, and to find great joy in living. I am also an artist, and the practices of yoga inspire me to conjure magic and ignite my creativity. As a teacher, I am dedicated to guiding others toward their own heart and deepest knowing, so they can also light up and share their unique gifts with the world.
So great is my passion for sharing the transformative gift of yoga, that I want to scream it from the rooftops! If you live in the Bay Area, please come take a class with me in SF: Schedule found here. If you live somewhere else, you can practice with me at home in YOUR living room! I still have classes online here on YogaVibes and more classes coming here on Udaya. We will connect with a clear intention and in this way we will go deep together. We will spark transformation in hearts around the world. Join our community of yoga heart warriors!
With Great Love,
Sonya
