🌿 Let’s Get Real About Yoga Therapy 🌿

There’s a common misconception I want to clear up…
Yoga therapy isn’t a one-and-done “fix.”
It’s not a quick chakra cleanse to get you high on shakti or a magic wand that makes life instantly amazing. ✨

And I’m not here to save you......
⁣
Here’s what yoga therapy is:

🌀 A practice that helps you release deep blockages
🌀 A space to gain insight, self-awareness, and clarity
🌀 A journey to awaken your prana — your life force — and reconnect with what makes you feel alive
🌀 A powerful tool for personal transformation
🌀 A practice that to bring you back to your true divine expression
⁣
But the real magic? It happens outside the session.
You have to take what you uncover — those “aha” moments, the emotional shifts, the subtle awakenings — and bring them into your daily life.

That means:

💡 Creating new habits
💡 Changing thought patterns
💡 Making conscious choices
💡 Making real changes to remember your personal power
⁣
Yoga therapy won’t save you.
YOU save you.
⁣
I’m just here to hold space, offer tools, and walk with you as you remember your own power. 🙏
⁣
If you’re ready for real growth, lasting change, and deep reconnection… let’s talk. 💬

✨Safe Space Within: A 3 Part Specialty Series✨

Lately, I’ve been sitting with the idea of safety—what it really means, how we find it, and how often we look for it in sometimes the wrong places.

As I wrapped up my advanced Yoga Nidra training, I had a deep insight about this offering. The theme of safety has been coming through so strongly. Not just in my personal practice, but in life. It’s made me realize something important that I feel deeply called to share.

In the world we’re living in right now, finding safe spaces can feel... hard. Even within our own communities, our relationships, the places we assume will hold us—sometimes they don’t. I’ve found myself in spaces that look safe on the outside, only to realize they aren’t. And with people I thought were safe, only to discover they couldn’t hold that for me.

It can be disorienting. You start to question where you can land, where you’re truly held.

But what my personal work has shown me is this: safety doesn’t come from outside of us. Real safety is something we build within. It’s always been there—quiet, steady, waiting for us to return.

This is what inspired this new offering I’m holding—a 3-week journey inward, into the sanctuary of your own body and being. A space to remember the safety that already lives in you.

Each session will open with an optional sharing circle. Just a gentle space to be heard if you feel called. We’ll move into a guided somatic awareness practice to help clear out any lingering emotions or energy, followed by a specially themed Yoga Nidra to guide you home to find that inner safe place.

The themes we’ll explore:
🛐Oct 12th: Safe Space
👶🏼Oct 19th: Inner Child
🕊️Oct 26th: I AM Safe

This is a community offering, open to everyone. I’ve included a pick-your-price option because I truly want this to be accessible for anyone who feels called to join—no barriers, no pressure.

I hope this space feels like an exhale. A place to be seen, to soften, and to settle deeply into the safety of yourself.

You might notice that anytime I offer an independent event or workshop, I offer a donation-based, pay-what-you-can, or pick-your-price option for payments. Every time, I get asked why.

Offering sliding scale or donation-based pricing—especially in wellness spaces—is an intentional act of resistance against systems that gatekeep healing, growth, and community.

In a world shaped by capitalism, where everything has a price tag, wellness has become a commodity. Yoga classes, breathwork, somatics, therapy—all the tools meant to reconnect us to ourselves and to each other—have become increasingly inaccessible to the very people who need them most. This isn’t just unfortunate—it’s by design. The patriarchy and capitalist systems thrive when people are disconnected, exhausted, and isolated. When rest, healing, and empowerment are behind paywalls, the cycle of burnout and disempowerment continues. Pay-what-you-can or sliding scale pricing models are a way to disrupt that cycle.

They're about accessibility—meeting people where they are financially and removing shame around asking for support. It's about community care, not charity. It’s about trusting people to know their own needs and capacities. These models honor that healing isn’t just for the privileged—it’s a birthright.

It's also a way to decolonize wellness by refusing to uphold structures that exclude BIPOC, q***r folks, disabled folks, single parents, and others who are often priced out of traditional wellness spaces.

When we offer accessible pricing, we:
✊🏼Foster diverse, inclusive spaces where a wider range of voices, bodies, and experiences are welcomed.
✊🏼Build stronger communities, rooted in reciprocity rather than transaction.
✊🏼Undermine toxic individualism by embracing collective healing and mutual support.
✊🏼Challenge scarcity culture by trusting that those who can pay more, will—and that the value of our work doesn’t decrease just because the price does.

This isn’t about making less impact—it’s about making more of the right kind. I do it because healing should not be a luxury. I believe in building something more just, more kind, and more human. This is one way I try to live that belief out loud.

Safe Space Within: A Three-Part Specialty Series

Safety means something different to each of us. For some, it’s the feeling of being seen and heard. For others, it’s a sense of calm in the body, a quiet mind, or simply a space where we don’t have to hold it all together. In this world, where things can feel overwhelming or uncertain, having a safe space — both around us and within us — is more essential than ever.

Safe Space Within is a three-part specialty class series designed as a sanctuary: a confidential, supportive, and nourishing space where we come together to share, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves. Each session is a blend of thoughtful dialogue, gentle somatic release, and deep meditative rest — all with the intention of helping you find, create, and embody your own internal safe space.

What to Expect in Each 2-Hour Session:

Community Circle & Reflection:
We’ll begin each session in circle, offering a space to talk about what’s happening around us, within us, or what we may be holding onto. All sharing is optional, and all presence is honored.

Guided Somatic Exercise:
After our circle, you’ll be guided through a gentle somatic practice to help release lingering tension, emotion, or energy from the body.

Specialty-Themed Yoga Nidra Meditation:
Each class will close with a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra meditation — a guided journey designed to bring you home to yourself and cultivate a lasting inner sanctuary.

The three themes we’ll explore through Yoga Nidra are:

Week 1- Safe Space
Week 2- Inner Child
Week 3- I AM Safe

This series is more than just a class. It’s a space to be real, to be supported, and to reconnect with a part of yourself that perhaps hasn’t felt safe in a long time. The intention is that by the end of our time together, you’ll have not only experienced a collective safe space, but you’ll also have begun cultivating your own inside you— one you can return to at any time, no matter where you are or what life brings.

This is an independent offering. You will reach out to me directly to make payment and secure a spot. DM or email me to save yours today.

Advanced yoga nidra training is complete.

I’ve always believed in divine timing… and this training solidified that belief even more. When I tell you it was right on time, I mean it was right on time.

Almost six years ago to the day, I completed my yoga nidra certification training at the ashram in Salt Springs. I remember coming home and telling people I could feel my brain changing. Literally — it felt like something in my brain was transforming.

This time around it felt like my soul changed.

There were moments during certain modules or nidra practices where I would come out and weep for over an hour. I could feel myself processing and releasing what seemed like 40+ years of sadness, fear, and abuse. The earliest of stored emotions and a lifetime of body-armored fascia just softened and dissolved. It was as if layer after layer was finally able to let go.

And through that, I was able to connect to a place inside me that I never imagined could exist. A softness that I've never known much less could possibly know is actually me.

But honestly…the most powerful part of this training was being able to reconnect and hear the teachings from again.

There’s something about the way Kamini teaches that resonates deeply with me. It never feels like she’s talking above me or in some far-off, unreachable way. It feels like a conversation. It feels personal, real, and deeply relatable.

She has a way of taking the ancient teachings of I AM Yoga—these incredibly deep, esoteric concepts—and making them feel so practical and grounded in today’s world. That’s what makes her teachings stay with you. You feel them. They become part of you.

I aspire to teach like her in that way. To be able to connect with people like that. To bring these sacred teachings into real life—into the body, into the breath, into the now.

This training has sparked some new ideas and offerings with an attempt to share these same powerful practices with you. More is on the horizon - stay tuned.

09/10/2025

I just wanted to take a quiet moment to say thank you. Truly. With all of my heart. 🙏🏽

Sometimes it may seem like all I do is post about classes, programs, and events—but behind every offering is something much deeper. I’m a one-woman show… an independent mother navigating life with one young adult and one younger child, doing everything I can to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. Every class you take, every event you attend, every share or kind word… it literally helps support my family. 💛

I run two tiny-but-mighty businesses in a world where small businesses are closing every day. To still be here—creating, sharing, and connecting—is something I don’t take lightly. It’s not just a job. It’s a lifeline. And it’s all possible because of YOU.

The offerings I put out into the world come from the deepest parts of me. These practices aren’t just services—they’re the very tools that helped me go from being a non-functioning adult to the version of myself you see now. And while I may not fit the mold of what some people think a "yogi" should look, walk, or talk like… you continue to show up. You see me. And you support me. That means more than words can express.

The lineage and tradition I share is powerful, sacred, and so needed in our communities. It’s not trendy or flashy—but it’s real, it’s healing, and it’s alive. And I’m so honored to pass it on.

So thank you. Thank you for giving me the space to do this work. Thank you for receiving it with open hearts. Thank you for believing in me, trusting me, and supporting me as I continue to show up—imperfect, but deeply devoted.
🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️

Equilibrium: A Yoga Workshop for the Nervous System
Led by Sonya Hanlin

The nervous system plays a vital role in every aspect of our lives—yet it’s often overlooked until we feel overwhelmed, anxious, or out of sync. In this workshop, we bring the nervous system to the forefront, exploring its functions through a yogic lens and offering practical tools to restore balance and resilience.

Together, we’ll examine how the nervous system impacts our daily experience, how it becomes imbalanced, and how yogic practices can support its regulation. You’ll learn accessible techniques—including guided awareness practices, gentle breathing techniques and Hatha Yoga postures— that are suitable for all levels, including beginners.

The workshop is divided into two parts: a grounding lecture to build understanding, followed by a guided practice where you’ll apply what you’ve learned. You’ll leave with practical, approachable tools you can incorporate into your daily routine to cultivate balance, clarity, and ease in your life.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement. You’ll leave feeling energized, peaceful, and empowered to bring positive change to the areas of life that matter most.

Out of everything I do, offering private yoga therapy sessions is by far my favorite. There’s something deeply powerful, beautiful, and humbling about witnessing someone heal themselves.

Having healed through this modality myself, I hold immense respect for each person who shows up. I know the courage it takes to face yourself, to walk through the fire, and come out the other side transformed.

It’s truly a privilege to hold space for that process.

I’m fully booked for August, but if you’re ready to take the leap, I’m now booking for September. I would be honored to support you on your healing journey.

You are strong. You are worthy. Let’s do this together. ❤️🫶🏼
