Every Monday Night from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM PT

Hi everyone! My name is Sonya. I started doing yoga over 20 years ago with my mom. At that time, my daughter was very young, maybe 1 or 2, and it was a way for me to get in a bit of physical activity and some time with my mom. As time passed, I fell away from yoga, not because I didn't like it anymore, but my life became more busy with family, school, and work. I took about a 10 year hiatus before I started my practice again. I began slow, doing short videos I found on YouTube, and fell in love for a second time. I wanted more! I started attending a community yoga class with my daughter, who was now old enough that she had a practice of her own. Then, my mom joined back in with us. As these classes were only offered in the summer, I found a studio to get my yoga fix. Soon, I realized I wanted to further my yoga journey and received my 200-hour teacher certification. My husband and I owned a indoor cycling studio at the time, and I saw the potential yoga had to help cyclists! I started teaching at the studio 3 times a week. After about a year, I wanted to further my yoga education and went back for my 100-hour Yin certification. 

Then COVID-19 happened, and the studio closed permanently. I turned this sad moment into a happy ending, and now, I teach virtual classes. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity!

I believe yoga is for everyone: small to tall, young to old, thin to full-figured. Everyone! Yoga has extreme and amazing benefits for all, which I have seen first-hand. I do understand that some people feel nervous or anxious to join a class, maybe due to a previous bad experience or a preconceived notion, but it's "Just a Bit of Yoga" and not brain surgery. Join in and have fun!
