Sonya Perry

As a Yoga Alliance Registered, Experienced Yoga Teacher (ERYT-500), Sonya provides a safe place to work through the body to develop introspection and expression that inspires change and determination, both in physical range of motion and within the fluctuations of the mind. Her personal practice integrates principles of several paths of yoga. She teaches classes for students of all levels. Private classes offered are tailored specifically to individual needs and she specializes in facilitating the Relaxation Response to reduce stress associated with stress disorders. It was early in her practice that Sonya knew she wanted to affect lives in such a way that others might be inspired on their journey as she was. By relaxing the mind and working through the body, Sonya guides her students to surrender, trust and discover their innate abilities; separate from whatever is going on in the world outside. “The aspiration (desire or motivation) of our breath (life force) moves, grounds, and calms the body, providing the inner strength and determination to get us through challenging situations.” Jason Crandell, Rod Stryker, and her amazing mentors Joan Hyman and Carmen Fitzgibbon have influenced much of her teaching style, as well as many of the teachers she studied in her Yogaworks 500 hour training. She has studied restorative with Jillian Pransky and apprenticed and received her Therapeutic Yoga Certification with Cheri Clampett, and is an irest Teacher in Training. Sonya's mission is to encourage and facilitate each of her students to have a personal, conscious, on the mat experience. She believes in the extraordinary benefits of yoga. Yoga is Sonya's way of life.
