“All people deserve to be supported by a healthy body and spirit, this is my passion.” Sofia’s goal is to teach others how to heal and enjoy optimum vitality through breath and meditation, nutrition, and movement. All of her skills, experiences, and knowledge have distilled down to this purpose; to empower others to enjoy life more fully and become the best version of themselves.
Sofia spent most of her yogi life in an Anusara studio in Park City, Utah called The Shop. This launched her into other modalities of this ancient practice but Anusara will always be the foundation of her personal practice and teaching style.
Sofia studied with Tiffany Wood in a 100 hour Anusara immersion course in Salt Lake City, Utah and later went on to complete a 200 hour teacher training with the Yandara Institute in Bali.
In June of 2019 Sofia was certified to instruct Foundation Training and she is currently one of 8 certified instructors in the state of Utah.
Foundation Training is a series of movements and engaging postures developed by
Dr. Eric Goodman. The practice aims to alleviate pain, especially back pain, caused by years of compression, sedentary work life, and over-all poor movement habits. By re-strengthening, or re-awakening the posterior chain, we can communicate to our body where to deal with gravity healthfully, using large muscles and aligned joints.
Sofia has learned how to use sound for healing. Crafting deep, beautiful, and inspired sound healings using crystal singing bowls and many other instruments is an offering that she has woven into her life and career.
Sofia has made a disciplined and conscious effort to better understand nutrition and different dietary theories. She is a graduate of The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, the world’s largest nutrition school, and she also took The Science of Raw Food Nutrition course from Drs. Rick and Karin Dina in June, 2014 at The Living Light Culinary Arts Institute in Fort Bragg, California. Sofia is a certified holistic wellness coach and received this credential from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
Being in service of her community and the world through various wellness practices is Sofia’s greatest joy!
