Yoga & Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy

Yoga & Yoga Therapy with Soraya

Soraya is a senior teacher of yoga and meditation in the Sivananda and Satyananda Lineage. At the age of 21 Soraya was initiated into the yogic line of Sannyasa in January 1981.
Soraya spent the next 9 years living in various Ashrams teaching, serving and studying. Later Soraya went on to have a family and is now a grandmother.
Soraya has a special interest in the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, a realised Saint from South India. His sharing of the direct path to Self-Realisation has greatly influenced her sharings.
In Soraya’s private sessions she pulls from 40 years of practice and teaching as well as her Naturopathic and Ayurvedic Medicine Training to create a holistic approach.
Together with her husband Terry Oldfield they offer Weekend Retreats, Silent Meditation Day Retreats, Monthly Music afternoons and weekly classes online and in person.

What is Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy?

Yoga therapy is a holistic approach aiming to restore a healthy state of balance of body, mind and spirit and reduce suffering. It aims to empower you towards better health, whether that is to overcome anxiety, dis-ease, heal injuries or improve energy levels.
You will receive a tailored personal practice and meditation recording to support continued health and wellbeing.
This enables you can take charge of your health with confidence. This is achieved through the integration of diet,  yoga movement, breath, TRE, specific meditations and mindfulness. Soraya supports you with practices that release of stuck energy, patterns and energetic blockages. 
Something that sets Soraya’s work apart is her intuition. As you peel back the old layers of conditioning with loving kindness you uncover your light and shine more brightly to the world. 
Soraya may also integrate the sister science of Ayurveda (the science of life) or naturopathic suggestions specific for your unique personality and physical type.
Session sare online or in person at Mangalam Meditation Retreat on the Sunshine Coast near Brisbane.
