POORNIMA SONNI

Yoga has been a part of her life ever since she can remember. Her mother was an Olympian and represented India at multiple Veteran Olympic Games. Yoga was a part of her mom’s training and recovery regime she was at a very impressionable age at the time. Imitating and following her mom’s footsteps was the most natural thing for her to do, and Yoga was a part of her mom’s training regime. Yoga was a very natural & habitual part of Poornima’s growing up.

She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy, which gave her a deeper understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the human body.

Following that, she moved continents in 2012 and it wasn’t until 2015 that yoga found her again, this time not only as a student but as a teacher too. She got my 200-hour and 500-hour certifications that further allowed her to connect the dots between the Mind & Body.

Yoga is a way of life for her, and it is her mission to guide and empower oneself to feel nurtured, accepted, strong and safe through practice.

She looks forward to guiding you through your own spiritual, emotional, and physical journey on the mat.  Sharing the knowledge, she has gained over the years and helping you to identify areas of strength and opportunities for healing, one pose and one breath at a time.
