About Us

Sonya Thomlinson, E-RYT 500

I’ve always been a seeker. A seeker of truth.  I found truth in practicing and embodying yoga.  My truth. I found my way from Vancouver, BC to Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Western Massachusetts in 1998 to learn more about yoga but to also learn about myself.  I was blessed during my 5 years of living and working at the center to have studied, produced programs and spent ‘off the mat’ time with many inspiring teachers.  Those who have most influenced my practice and therefore my teaching include, Yoganand Michael Carroll, Stephen Cope, Donna Farhi, Erich Schiffman, Angela Farmer, Shiva Rea, Ana Forrest, Emily Conrad, Rodney Yee, Julia Butterfly Hill, Thomas Ashley Farrand and Rod Stryker.  I completed Landmark Education’s Graduate Programs and graduated from the acclaimed Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2003.  I studied with Richard Miller and completed Level 2 Yoga Nidra training in 2008.  I am currently co-director of Trinity Yoga Centre’s 200, 300, and 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training programs.  My practice on and off the mat continues to evolve with the nondual teachings of Mickey Singer and Gurudev Shri Amritji (Yogi Amrit Desai).  I am passionate about food, my beautiful children, my kitty cat, and being a stand for others awakening into their truth. Namaste.
