Sonya’s yoga journey began in 2001, not as something she sought out, but as something that kept finding her. A friend handed her a video during a hard season, and what started as a way to heal quietly became a lifeline through depression, a tool for managing chronic pain, and a practice that helped her come home to herself again and again.
In 2012, she completed her 200-hour teacher training at Asheville Community Yoga, and she’s been teaching ever since. Fourteen years in, her love for this practice hasn’t dimmed a bit.
Sonya holds her E-RYT200, a Yin Yoga certification, and is a certified Reiki Master. She believes yoga doesn’t need to be complicated or fancy to be transformative. What it needs is breath, presence, and a space where people feel welcome. That’s what she brings to every class.
When she’s not on the mat, you’ll find her wandering in nature with her pup Bailey Love, out on her SUP, snuggling with her kitty Kora Moon, or connecting deeply with the people she loves. Sonya is also the founder of Be Love Biz Solutions, where she helps heart-centered women entrepreneurs build businesses that hold the size of their vision, and the creator of Be Love Movement, a community rooted in the belief that love is abundant, always present, and powerful enough to change the world one small act at a time.
Class Description
Straightforward, all-levels yoga rooted in joy, love, and intention. No bells and whistles, just intentional movement guided by the breath in a space that encourages personal growth, mindfulness, and real connection.
Sonya’s teaching is warm, casual, and genuine. Students say her classes feel less like a formal studio session and more like practicing with a trusted friend. Come as you are. Leave feeling like yourself, only better.
