Sonya Darrah - Elite Fitness & Wellness

Movement disciplines have been a major part of Sonya's life since early childhood. It was not until she was blessed with pregnancy that she “slowed down” and experienced the true and amazing aspects of the practice of yoga. Sonya practiced yoga on a regular basis throughout her entire pregnancy, it was not long into her practice that her instructor, Kathy Jordan, was encouraging her to lead segments of class, the seed was planted. It was a natural process from that point to extend the fruits of her personal practice to others.

Sonya's intention is to create a deeper understanding and communication between our minds and our bodies in a non-judgemental and non-competitive environment. She encourages and honors the discovery of each person's unique self and guides them through a natural unfolding that suites the individual. In classes, Sonya is able guide all levels, intuitive to communicate and instruct to the differing needs in a strong and effective manner. In one on one practice with Sonya, she will custom tailor the practice to the needs and desires of you, which can be the real eye opening experience in yoga, to discover and learn what  makes your body feel good and what makes your mind at ease, that is  the practice of yoga.

“Yoga is an amazing way to stay in shape physically, teaching us to listen to ourselves, and allowing our minds to relax. As we listen, we begin to focus and concentrate, and our minds become still. The postures are brilliantly designed to tone, strengthen and increase flexibility, but they also stimulate and massage all the joints, glandular system and organs, and align the skeletal system. When we are aligned, all our energy moves freely and we feel alive and supple! I invite all of you to discover the benefits of yoga, and experience for yourself how it can help you transform."
