Awaken your wisdom with Ayurveda, intuitive guidance, and yoga.
You are a master storyteller, but first you need to master your story.
Our bodies weave epic tales. Through our pleasure, pain, stuckness, and mobility we experience the journeys that lead to deep self-realization. By writing the story of our strongest and weakest parts, we learn what it means to live, and how to live better.
BodyStory is a unique online program to document the experience in your skin. In six live classes (recordings will be available) you’ll be guided through practical Ayurvedic wisdom, creative journaling exercises, body-based practices, and Ayurvedic recipes to redefine your relationship with your body and fall in love with your purpose.

“BodyStory was a truly transformative experience. Sonja beautifully weaves Ayurvedic wisdom with her own intuition in a way that creates profound connection to the ancient teachings.”
Our bodies are maps to understand our lives.
Your Body Is a Guide
You are a limitless expression of the Great Mama wrapped inside a physical temple. That physical temple — your body — is filled with signs about your purpose. All of the answers to the questions you have asked about your life are written on your skin.
Ayurveda offers a key to decode the language of the body — in fact, it is the best guide that has ever existed. Journaling is a time-tested way to make sense of the journey you’re on. BodyStory combines these two powerful practices so you can learn who you are — scars, surgeries, imbalances, dissatisfactions, and all. This is a journey of self-awareness, self-exploration, and self-love.
What You Will Receive:
- A safe group of likeminded people to witness your divine story.
- Weekly live classes filled with a modern application of the ancient Ayurvedic and yogic teachings.
- Weekly videos with Ayurvedic “unrecipes” to give you a template for eating and living well.
- The structure and support to develop a journaling practice as a tool for self-awareness.
- The chance to befriend your body and make sense of the experience you’ve had within it.

“Taking part in Sonja’s BodyStory class and sharing with her and others allowed my body and heart to have a more clear voice about its wants, needs and desires. Sonja created a sacred safe container for us to share openly and spontaneously.”

BodyStory: Betrayal // October 2020
Upcoming BodyStory Courses:
In fall 2021, I’ll be offering BodyStory: Hunger. Emerge from the cave of a distant year and rediscover your hunger for life and how to harness desire to work for you.
Together we will explore the story of agni, a word that represents the fire element, a deity, and the digestive fire that is at the heart of Ayurveda’s teachings.
In spring 2022, we’ll dive into BodyStory: Satisfaction. Offered as a standalone course or as a follow-up from Hunger (you’ll get a discount if you sign up for both), we’ll explore the question of how to be happy with what you get.
In BodyStory: Satisfaction, we’ll write through the six tastes of Ayurveda, following them through the body to understand how these play out in our stomachs and hearts.

Who is BodyStory for?
This program is ideal for you if:
-
- You are befuddled about how your digestion/body works but believe it is possible to feel better.
- Your body is struggling to cope with renewal of life after COVID, racial debt, #metoo, and the other social upendings we’re wrestling with.
- You want to develop new (and doable) digestive self-care habits from a place of genuine self-approval.
- You want to know how to direct your life from your body’s wisdom.
- You struggle with health issues, such as pain, anxiety, depression, or illness and want to know how you got here.
- You have difficulty asking for what you really want, or accepting how it is delivered.
- You want to learn Ayurveda as a way to accept and direct how your body functions.
This program is designed for those brand new to Ayurveda, as well as seasoned students looking to embody the teachings through storytelling. You don’t need any experience with writing or journaling to join!
The Journal
Black Culture Is American Culture
Black music has fed mainstream culture like a sacred spring. The songs, the dances, the soul — all of it has laid the foundation of everything that we want from pop culture. A foundation that is appreciated, but hung out to dry in the sun until it’s faded enough to make it sell.
Why is Overrated
I taught a course a few Mother’s Days ago for women seeking to rewrite the stories of the birth of their children (I have an itch to offer it again this year, so keep a lookout if you missed it). In it, I got to witness a gap between something that is commonly known among midwives, doulas, and witchy wisdom guides: we don’t get the birth we had imagined.
When Clowns Get Crowned
I was certain that Donald Trump would never be elected. “Él es un payaso,” (He is a clown) I explained to my server in Mexico back in late 2015 with a casual wave of my hand. My server maintained a worried expression. His family was in the U.S. and what Trump was saying then was a direct threat. One that became a reality.
“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
