I’m kicking off a new teacher spotlight series of the show this week with a conversation with Sonya Quijada. After using yoga as part of her recovery from Army-related injuries and chronic pain, Sonya pursued extensive training in yoga, mindfulness, biomechanics, and physio-functional movement. She became a yoga teacher in 2008, focusing on helping people who may feel intimidated by traditional yoga environments. Sonya founded Q Wellness Yoga, a pay-what-you-can online yoga studio based on the idea that yoga can fit both your body and your lifestyle. She teaches "clunky yoga for creaky bodies," with adaptive practices for mobility, balance, and strength for accessible aging. She has practiced yoga for more than 30 years, combining yoga instruction, life coaching, wellness consulting, and resilience training into an integrated approach to wellbeing.
We discuss her incredible journey, living with pain and the fear of pain, creating, building and selling a Yoga studio and reimagining your life then taking the leap to action. I think you’ll love it!

Come and join me for Gita Chat Club. We’ll spend six sessions exploring the text, its mythology and philosophy in a relaxed, conversational way, without needing to be an expert. You can sign up for the full club or come along to a free taster session to see if it’s for you.
