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 Way Our Brains Work
I am not a brain surgeon, but I am a student and teacher of Ayurveda. I am not the person to call when you have a tumor, but I am quite useful when you want to understand why you take less or more time to respond to a question (we can also talk about what your accuracy rate means).
To Leonie: A Love Letter on Your Fifth Birthday
You first came to me on a beam of moonlight that streamed through June’s open window. It was a time of mad love in my home, when your papa and I were dripping with so much of the stuff that we could think of nothing else but to create.
Pushpaputa Mudra: An Offering
Mudras are among the most subtle of the yoga practices. But subtle practices have the greatest effects. This one is simple, but powerful.
Pushpaputa is the mudra of offering flowers. Flowers offer their beauty to us because that is what they do. We offer flowers to the Great Mama in the same expression. With no expectation of receiving something in particular or even receiving at all, the offering is the gift.
“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
