Sonsie a été ma première prof de Yoga et cela a été une super expérience.  Je n'avais jamais pratiqué avant et elle a su me transmettre sa passion !

Au cours de ses cours, j'ai pu constater une vraie progression dans mes postures, elle m'expliquait bien comment les faire et leurs bienfaits, tout en prenant en compte mes difficultés. 

J'ai aussi bien aimé son aura douce, son humilité et son énergie.  Elle était toujours ravie de discuter avec les étudiants, nous étions un petit groupe d’habitués et sommes devenus des amis. Je recommande Sonsie.

I have had the good fortune to have classes with Sonsie.  Her unique, very thoughtful approach (with great attention to the precision of movement) and her gentle demeanor stood out immediately.

Her class was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes.

She paced it in such a way that everyone was able to do the poses, some in a more complex way, others in a more adapted way. Her personality and presence truly reflected a deep love of yoga and profound compassion for the mature students or those dealing with injuries.

I am so grateful to have been Sonsie's student in my Yoga Teacher Training at Trimurti Yoga in India. 

Sonsie's lessons transported me to a more advanced level of yoga practice. She showed me and my fellow trainees that teaching Yoga is an art and a wonderful way to awaken a person physically, mentally and spiritually. 

Sonsie's deep mindful focus, analytic approach and subtle big hearted personality make her an outstanding example as a teacher for all teacher trainees.

Upon meeting Sonsie during the worst winter ever in Montréal I was immediately struck by her sunny disposition and her ability to put students at ease irrespective of their capacity, practice, level, or age.

As the most senior member in most classes and having an irreverent attitude towards the hocus-pocus aspect of some yoga instructors, Sonsie's grounding, unhurried, practical and encouraging manner of teaching (not to mention her sense of humour) made her classes a great fit for me.

After Sonsie's classes I am almost a 'zen Jen', age 69.

I was lucky enough to have yoga classes with Sonsie in my workplace. We had a large enough office space and the classes were during lunch.

Boy ! Do you have a better afternoon after you do a lunch yoga session!

Sonsie's classes always increased my energy, made me feel stronger, calmer and more centered. On days when my stress levels were high it was downright miraculous.

There is a yoga school a couple of blocks away from our workplace but being able to have a class right at work is a dream. I really loved being able to clock in some taking care of me time without wasting time getting anywhere.

Yoga at work really helped me to maintain  balance and developed a nice rapport between myself and my participating co-workers.

Sonsie's weekly yoga classes, hosted on-site, have helped to promote a culture of wellbeing, mindfulness and calm to our growing SaaS business in central Wellington.

Her genuine nature, professionalism and depth of knowledge has encouraged our team members to get involved and experience the positive impacts of yoga in the workplace.

We are grateful to see the powerful tool that these classes have become in our company culture and in the lives of our individual team members.

Working with Sonsie has been a pleasure. We hope that we can continue yoga with her for years to come.

J'ai eu la chance d'avoir Sonsie comme professeure de yoga vinyasa durant mon Yoga Teacher Training en Inde.

Sonsie a pour moi toutes les qualités d'une excellente professeure. Elle est très pédagogue, exigeante tout en restant douce et très à l'écoute de ses élèves. Elle guide des flow toujours très créatifs avec précision et cherche toujours à encourager ses élèves à aller plus loin. Rien n'est laissé au hasard dans la construction de ses flows, et ça se voit !

C'était un vrai bonheur d'apprendre auprès d'elle.

Sonsie is an exceptional yoga teacher and I feel very fortunate to have taken many classes with her.

She has a depth of knowledge and an innate curiosity of yoga which shines through in her thoughtful and intelligent sequencing. I learn something new each time I attend a class and leave with an insight into my own body as well as a great sense of space and peace.

In addition to all these attributes she also brings a sense of lightness and her lovely sense of humour.

I have been practising yoga and meditation for many years and have had a good number of teachers over that time.

I have been a yoga student of Sonsie's for a couple of years now and have really noticed her kindness, calm presence and insight into yoga. Sometimes I feel I learn from her just by osmosis. In yoga flow classes Sonsie provides clear and considered instruction and guides the students to find their own truth moment to moment.

Sonsie has also provided guidance to me in my meditation practice. She has a clear understanding of the yoga spiritual teachings that underlie yoga and meditation practice.
