Thorne has been practicing yoga for seven years and shares her passion
with adults, teens, and kids. Sonya holds a masters degree in education
and has seven years experience as an elementary school teacher. She
brings creativity, dynamism, and happiness to her class. Her approach
with kids is to get them in action through story telling and
imaginative trips to different environments. Children learn not only to
move in a healthy way but they also learn to meditate, create, and
recognize different sensations using their five senses.
