From The Heart
My Manduka mat never lets me down every time I practice. It is firm enough to hold me steady;soft enough to allow everything to be felt, and grippy enough to allow me to create magnificent art with the temple which is my body.

Description/Bio
Sonja is the founder and owner of Body Mind Alphen, studio for Yoga and Pilates and there’s also a yogashop in this beautifull studio in the Netherlands (Alphen a/d Rijn). It is centered between all the big cities: The Hague, Utrecht and Amsterdam.
Yoga came on her path when she lived as an expat in Singapore. There she fell in love with yoga. Back in Holland she started from 2004 exploring many different styles and started with teaching Ashtanga Yoga and Pilates. In 2010 she studied in Los Angeles for 5 weeks with Shiva Rea. And now she is fully committed and in love with this more free-liberating-style of yoga: Energetic Prana Flow Yoga and Yoga Trance Dance.
