Sonya’s yoga journey began in 2001 when a friend handed her a video as a means to heal from the wounds of a tumultuous relationship. Little did she realize that a profound seed had been planted.
Yoga wasn’t something she actively sought out, but in pivotal moments of transition and transformation in her life, it found her time and again. Her practice evolved organically, transitioning from a video to a lifeline out of depression, a means to manage chronic pain, a tool to quiet her restless mind, and eventually culminating in her completion of the 250-hour teacher training program at Asheville Community Yoga in 2012.
Today, as an E-RYT200, certified in Yin Yoga, and a certified Reiki Master, Sonya’s passion for yoga only continues to flourish. She delights in sharing this transformative practice with others, firmly believing that yoga opens doors to a wild and wonderful journey within oneself. Through yoga, one can nurture self-awareness, and cultivate love, kindness, and compassion, not just for oneself but for the world around them. Sonya sees yoga as a beautiful means to anchor oneself in peace, find calm, stay grounded, and relish each moment by returning, always, to the breath.
Sonya’s classes are an embodiment of joy, love, intention, and a steadfast focus on the breath, creating an environment that encourages personal growth, mindfulness, and a sense of connection.
When Sonya isn’t teaching you can find her wandering and playing in nature with her pup, Bailey Love, on her SUP, connecting with the ones she loves, or running one of her many businesses…Sonya Lyn Online Business Support, Be Love Movement, and Empowerment Collective.
