“I have had the pleasure of taking many of Soraya’s workshops and Yoga classes over the last couple of years. Her immense knowledge, experience, gentle care and non judgemental approach has played a huge role in my transformation and healing journey. Her dedication to others well-being and healing is like no other. I feel for ever blessed and grateful to have Soraya in my life.”
