Sonya was born and raised in Massachusetts, where she was a competitive gymnast. After moving to Los Angeles for graduate school, she spent many summers immersed in the vibrant world of film and television, all while soaking up the sun. Initially skeptical of yoga, Sonya now has over 20 years of personal practice under her belt. She finds deep connections between yoga and gymnastics – especially in the realms of alignment, attention to detail, and form.
Sonya became a certified Registered Yoga Instructor (RYT-200) in 2016 at Pure Flow in Los Angeles and has been teaching ever since, helping others tap into their own practice.
In January 2022, Sonya made the move from Los Angeles to Asheville, and she’s excited to be part of the thriving yoga community there. She encourages all her students – and herself – to embrace yoga as an ongoing practice, reminding them that growth and change are constant. Sonya is passionate about inspiring others to prioritize wellness and stay committed to their long-term health and fitness goals. When she’s not teaching you can find Sonya exploring nature, animals, and the food and wine scene of Asheville.
