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 Journal
The joy of climbing the stairs
I’ll know that I have reached enlightenment when I am as excited to climb stairs as my daughter is. But for now, I just stand behind her and watch as she giddily places one palm on the stair, then the other, one knee, then the other. She’s using her muscles in a way that have never moved before. After months of just lying around, she’s moving on her own. And she’s damn happy about it.
Learning to walk
In Yoga teacher training, we learned how to walk.
It was an actual exercise: take slow, conscious steps, and don’t lift the back foot until the front foot is completely on the floor. It’s terribly difficult for someone like me who was a fast walker before I lived in New York City for nearly a decade. I want to be on to the next step before the first one has even started.
My daughter is just over one year now.
“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
