Sonya Dube

Sonya Dube' is the director of Rainbow Pilates. Her Pilates training was through McIntyre Pilates. The difference in the McIntyre Pilates program is it was not only tailored to learn the dynamics of Pilates, but also was taught by a licensed physical therapist who went into post-rehab scenarios and the entire anatomy of the body. This is monumental when understanding different body types so everyone can benefit from Pilates. Her Experience Sonya has been in the wellness industry since 2009 after being in real estate for more than 10 years. Sonya states, "I decided I wanted to make a change, and I started within myself first. When my body started changing I realized I wanted to help others do the same." Sonya is very passionate about changing lives one person at a time. Her specialty is in the art of teaching individuals in becoming acquainted with their breathing muscles and controlling them, and then learning different breathing techniques. One is taught to know the difference between shallow breathing and deep breathing and becoming acquainted with your diaphragm and abdominal muscles, then essentially learn how to tighten and relax them at will.
