Sonja is pure Lebensfreude!  This lively Tirolean adds spice to the Mountain Yoga Festival. With her warm, engaging manner and her immense knowledge of nutrition, she not only ignites the digestive fire but also motivates people to put what they learn into practice immediately.

In her work, Sonja weaves together insights from a wide range of disciplines. Thanks to her versatility, she is able to perceive people holistically, always taking into account all aspects of our being: body, mind, and soul.

In her yoga teaching, Sonja places a special emphasis on restorative practices. Relaxation, letting go, and replenishing one’s energy are at the heart of her classes.

As a health educator and nutrition counselor, Sonja recognizes complex interconnections within the body, understands the strength that healthy digestion can provide, and also offers guidance based on the constitutional types of Tibetan medicine. Nutritional medicine according to Prof. Dr. Überall, along with Ayurvedic wisdom and therapeutic methods, round out her repertoire of bodywork.

Her training as a psychotherapist supports Sonja in guiding people through processes of change. It is close to her heart to help individuals access their innate self-healing powers so they can return to their full strength.

Currently, Sonja is researching the fields of women’s health and nourishment for the soul—a topic she will also bring to the festival.
