Sonja Bricker

I first discovered yoga in 1999 - I took a one month intensive Iyengar class (3 hours a day, 5 days a week) and was immediately hooked. That class led to another one month intensive and 20 year later I am still practicing yoga. I have taken classes in the Bikram, Power Vinyasa, Anusara, Restorative, Yin, Hatha, Aerial and Bhakti styles - each style offering an opportunity to deepen my awareness of body and mind. In 2016 I took a 200 hour Yoga Alliance teacher certification with Esteban Salazar in Medellin, Colombia. 

For me, yoga is a way to slow down, to smile, to play, explore and have fun while moving my body into interesting shapes!

I have been a public high school Spanish teacher for 12 years - so, I'm bilingual and absolutely love to travel. I have traveled to 13 Spanish speaking countries. But I have also lived in several Spanish speaking countries - Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico as a Rotary Exchange Student my senior year of high school, Quito, Ecuador for 6 months as I completed my student teacher training and Medellin, Colombia for 9 months as a research sabbatical year from my high school.
