Yoga with Sonya

Yoga with Sonya Hi friends!

I just finished a 200hr YTT in January and I'm hoping to use this platform to invite you to flow with me, share life’s funny stories, and spread good vibes�

A whirlwind of emotions completing my first marathon... 26.2 miles.. 4:19:28. I still can’t believe I did that! 🏃🏼‍♀️💨💪🏻🥳
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d want to set out for a marathon but I was ready to challenge myself mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Completing this race was symbolic of so many things, preserving through the darkness to find the light at the top of the hill, to stand strong & proud in who I am today.😌

Accomplishing such a physically challenging feat has left me feeling limitless. I’ve learned to listen to my body in a whole new way, honoring what it needs in the moment.🙏🏻Whether that was to adjust my training schedule due to work demands, or unforeseen circumstances like a strained hip, a few falls, & a laceration with 7 stitches to my right thigh🤪 these obstacles were thrown my way to make me stronger & they didn’t stop there.

On race day I rolled my foot on mile 5, my headphones decided to die on mile 15, and naturally my body begged for me to stop but I powered through to cross that finish line strong. Being without headphones was a true testament of listening to my body, my mind, & my breath.
“Love yourself, take your time, free your mind” echoed in my ears from a song.
I was with my breath, calm & steady, I was with my focus, determined & strong, to move through the pain and suffering to find ultimate bliss. 🧘🏼‍♀️✨

As stimulus checks begin to roll out we’ve got the opportunity to invest in ourselves. To nurture, to heal, to begin a new journey and show up stronger on the other side.

Next month we’ll have the chance to reset in this gorgeous Palm Springs Villa!!!! We’ll begin every morning with yoga and meditation for all-levels and throughout the weekend learn about the chakras and the power in healing your own energy.💖🤸🏼‍♀️🌈☀️
We’ll have some free time to lounge by the pool, enjoy home cooked meals, and dance to our hearts content💃🏼🌴🧘🏼‍♀️🍹🌊☺️🌺🦋✨
With some special surprises and a team that can’t wait to host and guide others through a weekend of self love, transformation, healing and all the things!!
We hope you’ll join us February 3-7th to manifest your true energy.🙏🏻

For yoga instructors we have a yoga-alliance approved ‘Chakra analyst’ certification that you can take home at the end of the weekend!!!💫🎓🤓🎉
Please feel free to check out more on the website (weareyogaand.com/bry-february) and message me if you have any questions!!🤗✌🏻❤️☺️

And if you’re looking for more, later in the evening We Are Yoga And will be hosting a goal setting workshop from 6-8pm for $15 with a little bit of yoga nidra to wind down for the evening.

We practiced heart centered goal setting on the retreat I attended back in October and it was transformative to learn how to dive deeper into the mind and heart on why we aspire to reach certain goals.

If you’re interested please don’t hesitate to reach out and/or check out their website 🙂

Evening flows accompanied by candlelight, daylight savings is definitely upon us and I'm learning to find gratitude for the shorter days :)

Earlier this week we focused on our heart center, simply beginning with paying attention to our heartbeat and our breath. And for those that explored further, dropping into the pulse, the pace, perhaps some pain and suffering, or loving kindness that resides in our heart space. We practiced using deep, clensing breaths to clear out any unwanted feelings, to find strength within our hearts, to begin to heal our souls.

Vinyasa yoga tunes into the breath and body, we flow breath to movement, which for me has always been the easiest way to drop into a meditation. To be with my body and mind, conscioulsly aware of the present moment.

There is so much love that radiates from my heart to share this practice with each and every one of you, to share my experiences, to be by your side as you find pure bliss in your life! Thank you forever and always for joining me!!!

Hi beautiful friends!!

It’s been a while since I’ve been active online and a lot has happened! Last month I embarked on a journey of self discovery, to heal old wounds, and find self love. I attended a weekend long yoga retreat where I had the chance to reconnect with my inner warrior, to reclaim my inner strength and courage to face my inner demons, and most importantly I left the weekend with a meditation certification. I’m looking forward to helping others find comfort and ease with meditation to heal their souls.
I also began working at Trader Joe’s (YAAAY) at the beginning of this month, and after the retreat I was offered an internship with my yoga gurus, We Are Yoga And. I’ll be starting this journey with a new, dear friend and I look forward to sharing my experiences!

It’s incredible how the universe listens.... Everything falls into place when you begin saying yes to yourself. 🙏🏻🥰

MILLIONS OF THANK YOUS to all who have supported me and continue to support me on my path. I can’t thank you enough for the loving kindness you bring into my life that keeps my light shining bright and motivates me to reach for the stars😊❤️

Hi friends! It’s been a little while, September sure was a busy month from the hostel reopening, celebrating my best friends wedding, and officially starting a travel yoga Instagram page!!🥳🥳

It’s in times like these, when so much is happening all at once, that we forget to soak in the moment.
I invite you to join me tomorrow morning for a 60 minute yoga flow to arrive in the present moment together🙏🏻

There’s something soothing about rising with the sun. Slowly watching the word wake up as the sun begins to brighten the sky. It allows you to feel connected to the present moment, the start of a new day, and decide how you choose to show up for the rest of the day.

Oddly enough this week I’ve working through the rough days with a gentle reminder, “The sun will rise again tomorrow”.
In Buddhist and Hindu philosophy, life is filled with a never ending wheel (samsara) of birth, life, and death. The two religions view this idea a bit differently however at the end of the day I find comfort in knowing nothing is forever, change is constant, and we will rise again tomorrow.

Today we’ll be working towards wheel pose to symbolize this idea of the cyclicality of life, and wherever you are in that today.

Tune in at 6pm PST for a 60 minute vinyasa flow 🙂

I’ve been learning so much in my most recent course about the history and philosophies behind yoga & Hinduism. I was stoked when I walked into a juice bar yesterday and knew the background of this painting of Ganesha, son of Shiva, remover of obstacles. And so many other symbols within the picture that I’m able to recognize now🤓

I’ll be sharing some tidbits here and there throughout my classes this week.. hope you can tune in 🙂
