For those who yearn to

Heal, Integrate & Connect

Embodied Healing weaving Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Somatics and Intuitive Wisdom to support deep transformation. Together, we will travel the path of self-sabotaging patterns and integrate the imprints of childhood trauma. Clearing the residue of the past and opening space for lasting Embodied Change.

Step out of fear and let

Life Flow through YOU

This is a journey of returning home to your body—not through force or will, but through deep listening.

It is the path of inner safety, where the need for armour dissolves and dissociation gives way to embodiment. As you soften into yourself, your capacity to move, feel, and choose in alignment with your deepest self, expands.

“After having childhood trauma confirmed, one of the resources I put in place was exploring trauma sensitive yoga with Soraya. I cannot stress how much this has helped me. Soraya has a way about her that is not judgemental, not rushed and is so intuitive that you feel empowered and safe. My confidence has soared, I am comfortable being uncomfortable and I manage my thoughts, my physical medical symptoms and my emotions. So far I have achieved losing weight and a healthy lifestyle, improved relationships with my children and those around me, taking on new challenges and succeeding and living my best life, by  maintaining it. Of course there are blips but by using the skills of grounding and making choices, recovery of when life gets tricky is much more manageable. I cannot recommend Soraya and trauma sensitive yoga highly enough and not even for a traumatic event but when you don’t feel you have choices, power or control over your life.”

PH, Coaching Psychologist”

Hi I’m Soraya

I am a guide, a healer and an intuitive. I weave elements of Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Somatics, Soundhealing and other modalities of yoga and shadow work to create a space for you to untangle the strands of who you are.

I have been practicing yoga for 35yrs+ and facilitating for for 20yrs. Along the way I have read hundreds of books on trauma, shadow work and yoga philosophy…participated in a 1000+ hours of trainings. But beyond all that, the real gifts that I bring are that of embodied healing. I have moved from not even realising I had childhood trauma (my coping mechanism’s were so polished) to travelling a path of understanding, healing and integrating. To now, living an immersive life that I am not afraid to live.

The intuitive connection that I have with clients and participants comes from a place of having walked the path that you are walking.

Let’s meet and have a virtual chat over tea, to see if we are a good fit to work together

Why work with me

  • Carolyn

    Soraya has a unique presence,  She creates a safe space – I was able to trust her and the process and go with it.  She is intuitive, noticing the impact of the movements we are doing together.  Yet Soraya is challenging too, not afraid to hold space for you to explore the boundaries of your physical capability where I learnt so much about myself. But I always felt supported, able to express emotion if needed, but safe and calm at the end of each session.

  • Kirsty

    I have already recommended you to everyone in my life. Your compassion, gentleness, wisdom and outstanding intuition have allowed me to feel truly safe and held. To know that in this space I don't need to have the answers but I can follow the process. You make me feel fully seen and embraced without imposing and often without saying a word. 

  • Client

    I got an opportunity to feel and connect deeply with myself….and rejoice in the process. Soraya was skilful, intuitive and worthy of trust, bringing experience and deep positive intention. I feel empowered to take care of myself deeply, empathetically and unapologetically.

  • Alison

    Soraya....in all sincerity, you are the reason for my positivity and perseverance. I was not in a good place before I did my first class with you, you really have changed my whole attitude towards life generally and not just yoga

  • Joan

    There aren't many yoga teachers who possess the ability and skills to teach on both a physical and spiritual/personal level and make you feel safe enough to embark on this...Soraya is all of these.

  • Dahne

    Yoga classes soften and open layers, both physically and emotionally, to reach your deeper self. Challenge and gentleness at the same time to consciously enter the poses with techniques and instructions.

  • Finnoula

    Soraya's approach is brilliant . She is the first yoga first teacher who has really taught me how to align and be fully aware of my body. Her wholistic approach and gentle guidance has also helped me further along my spiritual journey   towards mindful embodiment. 

  • Suzanne

    I am so VERY grateful to Soraya for all that she has offered me.I can’t recommend Soraya highly enough with support for my mental health and well-being. Her sessions are so much more than just yoga , interweaving mindfulness and thought provoking reflections and poetry that personally connect with you. 

  • Mark

    The classes are very focussed and fun each week.  Soraya teaches in a very relaxed way but always pushes me to stretch myself to my fullest potential, which ensures genuine improvement in my flexibility.  As well as the physical work, the classes combine an element of mind work which compliments the class really well and always leaves me with a calm inner feeling.

  • Emma

    Soraya's approach to yoga is perfect for me. She has really taught me to be able to slow down and appreciate the important aspects of my life. Through her teaching I have learnt to listen to my mind and body...her approach whether online or in person is to both challenge and guide you. Before meeting Soraya I never thought yoga was for me! I'm not flexible or bendy. However I have learnt that this is not the point of yoga...there is so much more to the practice. I have developed a deeper understanding of myself and my life. Through attending weekly classes, weekend workshops and going on Soraya's retreats I have also developed some amazing local friendships and feel part of Soraya's yoga community.

  • Charlotte

    Soraya's classes are undeniably transformative. I joined 5yrs ago when having two very young children. The classes have allowed me an invaluable moment of weekly tranquility whilst connecting back to myself and my body.  Each class grounds me with Soraya's beautiful movement through the poses as well as her inspirational readings and own powerful reflections on life and connections to nature. I genuinely couldn't recommend Soraya and her classes more highly.
