Sonata Swan
Your Tour Guide
Meet Sonata Swan, a devoted yogini for many years and yoga teacher since April 2024. Sonata is multifaceted visionary, world traveler, dedicated to guiding others toward the depths of their sacred heart.
Sonata Swan offers a unique approach to guiding students through their yoga practice. With her extensive background as a Level 2 Kriya Yoga initiate, a Level 3 Qigong practitioner, and a seasoned yoga teacher, Sonata provides a holistic experience that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. Her sessions are deeply infused with her knowledge of mysticism and her experience in self-healing, enabling students to explore yoga not just as a physical exercise, but as a spiritual practice that facilitates profound inner transformation and connection to the Divine.
Practicing yoga under Sonata's guidance is an opportunity to experience a blend of traditional and innovative techniques tailored to elevate one’s spiritual journey and enhance self-awareness. Her methods often incorporate elements of Vedic astrology and numerology, offering a personalized touch that aligns with each student's cosmic configuration. This unique integration allows students to experience yoga in a way that extends beyond the mat—promoting wellness, balance, and harmony in every aspect of their lives.
Yoga, in the broader sense, serves as a vital tool for maintaining health in the body, cultivating peace and clarity in the mind, and awakening the spirit. Sonata's practice emphasizes the disconnectedness of these elements, ensuring that each session enriches the physical and subtle bodies. By fostering an environment where students can explore the depths of their being, Sonata not only teaches yoga; she facilitates a trans-formative experience that encourages living a heavenly life on Earth.
"Every yoga asana practiced with intention is a step closer to the depths of your sacred heart, where the body, mind, and spirit unite in the gentle rhythm of truth and self-discovery.- Sonata Swan

My yoga venture re-emerged after the longest break when I began asana practice in 2007 to care for an out-of-balance body. In my childhood I was blessed with a brief yoga introduction of some yoga postures, and body scan relaxation techniques that I used so many times for those sleepless nights. I give many thanks for planting the seed of crave to learn and experience this ancient practice to my first yoga teacher in Lithuania.
I am so grateful for the first teacher training that opened the whole new way of a physical and spiritual way and philosophy to live by. Certified to teach in 2014 I embraced the path of a yoga teacher, embarking on a trans-formative journey that continues to unfold. Rooted in the teachings of Sri T. Krishnamacharya, my practice and instruction are a blend of tradition and modern insights, nurtured through continuous learning from diverse sources.
Yoga, for me, is an infinite wellspring of inspiration—a profound practice where the search for purpose often begins on the mat. It is a gift to witness how even the simplest steps in yoga unveil the limitless potential within. Through this sacred journey, hidden layers of light and darkness emerge, offering opportunities for healing, self-discovery, and the joy of truly living.
In my classes, I strive to guide with care, tailoring breathing techniques, meditations, and postures to suit individual needs. As we move together, I hope to inspire inner awareness and transformation, echoing the timeless truth:
"Yoga is about inner changes and awareness."
Though I have called Florida home since 1998, my Lithuanian roots remain a cherished part of my identity. This land has become a beautiful space where I live with my family, teach, and share the healing art of yoga.
