I have been teaching movement for nearly 30 years, first ballet then Pilates. I hold certificates from PhysicalMind Institute and Pilates Method Alliance and am also certified in McLoughlin Scar Tissue ReleaseⓇ. I was a faculty member of two Pilates certification programs and have taught Pilates worldwide and in San Francisco.
I studied anatomy, kinesiology, biomechanics and dance injury prevention while obtaining my BFA degree at National Institute of the Arts in Taiwan and MFA degree at University of Arizona, I constantly advance my knowledge by studying various subjects such as gait and neuro movement with experts like Madeline Black, Gary Ward at AiM and Trent McEntire to name a few. |

Prior to Pilates, I toured the world with the acclaimed Lan Yang Dancers from the age of 14 and was a lead dancer with Ballet Oklahoma for many years. After retiring from ballet, I continue to practice ballet and explore other movement disciplines such as Muay Thai, Taichi, and Animal Flow.
My teaching style is a reflection of my lifelong experience with movement, knowledge of the body and desire to make a positive impact in my clients’ lives. I meet you at your level, give you tools to grow and support you to achieve your goals. |
"I have been working with Sonya since I first started doing pilates over 10 years ago and still work with her now that I am a certified instructor. She always knows what I need, how to challenge me and introduces me to new ideas that I can then use in the classes I teach. She is one of the absolute best. If you have the opportunity to work with her, do it."
