Sonia has an extensive background in dance and performance with a passion for movement. Overuse injuries as a dancer became a common occurance and led to her first introduction to Pilates. Pilates was an essential key to managing her injuries, autoimmune symptoms, recovery from two pregnancies, and healing both metally and physically through cancer. Sonia completed her Pilates Teacher certification from Orange Coast College with an integrated method of Physical Mind, Ron Fletcher, Stott and BASI. Teaching since 2003 she has gained valuable experience working with clients who have arthritis, post surgery rehab, fibromyalgia, pre and post natal, cancer, dancers and athletes. Sonia is passionate about meeting her clients where they are and leading them on their journey for a balanced health. What she loves most about teaching and training is the connections made with each client and the inspiration gleaned from sharing a few invaluable hours in their lives. With her passion for movement, creativity and a touch of fun, she creates a fresh unique class every time which will bring joy, balance, and challenge to the body. Along with Pilates, Sonia has certificates with AFAA Group Fitness, Les Mills BodyPump, nationally certified with Pilates Method Alliance, TRX, and Barre Above.
