Sonia is a recognized member of: Yoga Alliance (US and UK), Integral Yoga Teachers Association and International Association of Yoga Therapists.
She began teaching Yoga for children with additional needs after her daughter Roberta was born with Down Syndrome in 1972. Sonia noticed many positive changes in Roberta from using Yoga, so in 1975 she became a Certified Yoga Teacher. Sonia's life dream is to help the world's children with additional needs achieve their full potential and become active and productive members of society. Nothing can better express her success than the letters she receives from the parents of her students.
