Befriend your body. Rewrite the story of your life.
Dear beautiful –
From the bottom of my wisdom heart, thank you for signing up for BodyStory: Satisfaction. I cannot wait to join you on this journey as we dive deeply into ourselves, our bodies, and our sense of fulfillment.
Our focus together during this series will be using the lens of Ayurveda to explore what true satisfaction feels like. Through a journey into the six tastes (rasa) of Ayurveda, we will learn to experience pleasure in every bite of life, and not just so we can earn our dessert. After living through the last year and a half, we all need to reconnect with what brings our bodies joy — BodyStory: Satisfaction leads you to a new understanding of deliciousness.
Each week we’ll gather for a live session with ample opportunities to connect, learn, and ask questions. These will be supplemented by emailed Ayurvedic recipes to integrate what you’re learning.
You’ll find all the details you need to join the classes below:
When: Six Thursdays, beginning April 21st, 4:30 p.m. PT
Where: Zoom
What to bring: A notebook and pen (some weeks may require additional items that will be included in the reminder email)
You’ll get a reminder the day of, but mark your calendar now so the time is blocked off. While I recommend you attend live, I understand what life often throws at us. I will record each session and post it within 24 hours.
I can’t wait to see your satisfaction.
Much love,
Sonja
In Your Words
“I am a changed person because of Sonja and so are my relationships.”
"I was surprised by how well Sonja really listened to me, and not just my words. She is present, and thus can find the deeper expression among all the rambling and 'I don’t knows.'"
"Sonja is a wise, authentic guide teaching deep and mind-blowing truths using a fun, light-hearted approach.
After each session, I feel more in touch with my intuition and filled with optimism."

The Wisdom of Vata Dosha
As I said in this post, Ayurveda is meant to be contemplative. This is my contemplation on the wisdom of vata dosha. Like any wind, vata dosha picks up whatever is not weighted down. The drier a leaf, the easier it blows across a road. And where that leaf will end up...
Tradition Serves: How to Feed Your Hunger
When we are very hungry, taking only a spoonful of a meal can make us lose our ravenous minds. However, if we know that there is a kitchen full of grandmothers cooking in the old ways, we can be at peace with the pits in our bellies. Because when they are done -- and...
Why You Don’t Get Ayurveda
If you don’t “get” Ayurveda, the problem isn't you. It’s that Ayurveda isn’t meant to be gotten. Ayurveda is not like Western medicine. We don't address the heart without looking at the quality of the blood, or treat the mind as if what’s going on in the large...
