Hey there! I’m a Registered Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master & Life Coach. It is my greatest desire to educate & empower you to feel deeply at home in your own body. I combine the tools of movement, energy work & coaching to create unique & personalized sessions that guide you to a clear understanding of your innate body wisdom. Stress, overwhelm & pain can all lead to a contracted experience of life. I use simple, yet effective practices & techniques, on the level of the mind, body & spirit, to track sensations & emotions, unwind stuck patterns, and release resistance in your body so that flow can be restored. I’d love to walk alongside you as you reconnect to your deep truth & intuition, rediscover your strength & resilience, & become fluent in the language of your entire being. I hope to meet you soon!

Tell me about.....myself!?! Those of you who know me - know I'm not a very conventional person (...so why start now...), annnnnnd, that I function way better in face to face interactions than indirectly through things like cyber space.

So translating my personality or my skills into an authentic and accurate representation of who I am, or what I do, is a real struggle for me. (Seriously folks, I'm a complete robot on video and can barely make it through leaving you a voice message that manages to sound even a wee bit human!)

The absolute last thing I want to do is seem contrived, which is what seems to happen when I get behind a computer screen - something about the missing energy exchange, leaves my words feeling flat and lifeless.

So, while I begin to work on my skill of interacting with technology and navigating my love/hate relationship with marketing - I was wondering if I could ask you a favor? Could those of you who know me please take a minute or two to write a few words about me in the comments below?

Despite the voice in my head telling me how terrible and risky this idea is, and the orchestra of accompanying alarm bells this sets off (...oh hello vulnerability...); I really do think its the most honest and organic way to create a real life picture of who I am and what my vibe is for anyone who may be considering working with me.

So if I have touched your life in any way - would you consider sharing a few words about me below? They would help to flesh me out as a real living breathing human being for others who may be curious as to who I am. How did we meet? What's my predominant vibe? What is my superpower? Lol. And for the love of all that is holy - please be kind - because my inner imposter will be taking notes.....

Every moment offers an opportunity for embodiment & healing. Even making soup.

As a busy Mama, I can often fall into a feeling of overwhelm with all the tasks I have to accomplish on any given day. But then I remember to pause, check in with my body and consciously bring my awareness to all the places that tension is hanging out - in my body or my mind.

I feel my feet on the floor, get my shoulders out of my ears, relax my jaw and remind myself through my body awareness that not everything has to be a slog. It’s usually at this point that I am able to relax and find gratitude in the moment for what’s in front of me.

I’m so grateful for the bowl of nourishing soup that will feed my family tonight and for the deep wisdom and healing potential of my body and mind.

Welcome. My name is Sonya Lea.

I’ve always been a bit of a rebel soul. I believe in showing up, asking questions and continually testing my limits & beliefs. I am always evolving and reinventing myself one day at a time. I love to encourage people to embrace their individuality, and develop a playful curiosity towards the way they move, think, and feel. I believe that the most profound and lasting effects are in the small and seemingly subtle shifts we make when we are “tuned in” and paying attention to the messages of our physical, emotional and spiritual landscape. It is my greatest desire to educate and empower people to feel deeply at home in their own bodies – and my hope that the resulting awareness, trust and confidence, in turn, will radiate outward to create lives that truly thrive.
