Join Sonia for a gentle, deeply nourishing yoga asana practice that emphasizes restoration and inner illumination. By working to release spinal tension and over time clear patterns of stress, our bodies, minds, and spirits are restored and rejuvenated.

We’ll use generous propping to fully support the body for maximum relaxation and presence in the asanas. Includes seated and supine postures.

The physical practice will intentionally prepare students for Yoga Nidra, or guided relaxation. Yoga Nidra provides deep nourishment for the whole being- mind, body and spirit. Benefits include total relaxation, heal depletion, reduce anxiety, restore energy, mental clarity, and increased capacity for inward focus.

This class supports a vast variety of bodies, abilities, and levels of experience. The nourishing nature makes it an incredible compliment to our busy lives and our more active movement practices.

An Afternoon of restoration, devotion, and wisdom

Sonia will guide you through a yoga practice centering inner stillness, softening, and rejuvenation. This restorative approach to entering the heart space encourages a state of availability and receptivity, which allows you to fully bask in its sweetness! Poses will be primarily seated and supine, and incorporate generous use of props and support.

Sharing stories and pastimes is a nectar- nurturing, sweet, and rich with sustenance. A way to not only restore our bodies, but our hearts, minds and spirits as well. Sonia expertly weaves storytelling and mantra throughout the workshop. You will experience the epic tales and also learn how they can directly impact and transform your daily life off of your mat.

Hanuman

Known for both his mischief and maturity, his sweetness and sincerity, Hanuman is a form of the divine who is both approachable, and beloved by many. His lilas (divine play or stories) are an inspiration for our own growing bhakti (devotion). He shows us the power of love in action, and how an open heart can inspire all aspects of our lives.

My friend Alan Kuhl and I are headed to my home studio, Bhakti Barn Yoga in Millburn NJ for an evening of kirtan!

Alan and Sonia met in the central PA kirtan scene in 2022, and have been playing together ever since. Each bringing a unique perspective and background, they share a passion for mantra, chanting, and the beauty of communal practice. They love to weave within their kirtans personal reflections, contemplations, and stories of the deities. Kirtans with Sonia and Alan always aim to be welcoming, warm, thoughtful, and fun.

$25 suggested donation at the door

This gathering is communal- bring your instruments, songs, poems, stories, anything from the heart. A chance for us to be in practice together and to connect, to talk about what we’re up to and what’s been moving us.

We’ll chant mantra and I’ll tell stories. Its yoga for our hearts and souls!

All are welcome, so bring your friends or kiddos. Or ride solo and meet some new folks 😊 And you don’t need to be a “good singer” or have experience 😉

Kirtan is one of the most beloved devotional practices of yoga. Chanting of mantras is done in a call and response style which brings the group into co-creation of sound and song. You will be introduced to these sacred mantras, their meanings and stories, and how they can help us, uplift us and connect us to our hearts and spirit.

​No experience is necessary to savor the benefits of bhakti, and all are welcome! Bring your kids, your roommate, your bestie. Bhakti has been described as “the ultimate creative experience, because you are creating a transcendental experience with the Universe.” An evening of song, story, and most importantly, joy!

December 21st

hosted at Hallow River Ritual Tattoo & Artery at 123 West Market St Marietta, PA

Join me in a welcoming, low key atmosphere. We’ll chant mantra and I’ll share stories, we’ll have space for discussion and to connect as a spiritual community.

This is a more home style kirtan, so we’ll be even more relaxed than studio kirtan. This means that if you have a song you want to lead, a poem to share, a meditation, a story, a dance, you are welcome and encouraged to do so. This style is really a sharing of our practice, a communal sadhana.

The suggested donation is $10-20 (cash or venmo day of the event)- no one will be turned away if they cannot donate.

“Devotion is a way of being, it's not something you do. It's dedication to finding awareness and Love. Chanting is like asanas for the mind and the heart.” -Krishna Das

The tradition of yoga is vast, and includes beautiful and deep teachings about supreme love and devotion. At the heart of these teachings is the practice of Kirtan- call and response chanting of mantras.

In this gathering you'll experience an introduction to chanting, learn about the mantras and why they're used, and basic pronunciation. Sonia will share some of her favorite stories from the Vedic lineage, tales of the gods and goddesses and how they relate to our every day lives. This is a welcome opportunity for anyone who is curious about other aspects of Yoga in a relaxed environment. No experience is needed, and this gathering is created with those totally new to Bhakti in mind.

The word kirtan can be understood to mean call, recite, praise, or describe. It is truly one of the most beloved bhakti practices- it is accessible, deep, and profound.

You’ll be taught sacred sanskrit mantras and their meaning, before we sing them together call and response style. Along with chanting, I also share my favorite stories and teachings about the deities. No experience is necessary to savor the sweetness of devotion, and all are welcome! Bring your kids, your roommate, your bestie, and let’s sing.

Supreme Release Yoga (SRY) is a yoga practice that gently reaches into, decompresses and nurtures the spine – the axis of physical health and the conduit of the spiritual journey.. The result of SRY is body healing, life transformation and inner awakening. There are no yoga mats, no mirrors, no performance, and no workout.

Instead, we are make a sacred pilgrimage within to discover the Self of the self. In SRY, you find an approach rooted in authentic vedic teachings and rooted in the radical act of love as a means to truth. We remember, “yoga teaches you to love yourself, starting with the body“

The nourishing nature makes it an incredible compliment to our busy lives and our more active movement practices.

Take a moment for emotional, mental, and physical release. Perfect for all levels of yoga experience, Sonia gives many options to help the practitioner have a unique experience in every class.

This class incorporates gentle movements with the breath, held poses (with props and without), breathwork, meditation, and relaxing music.

All of these aspects blend seamlessly to create a calming atmosphere, rejuvenating the Practitioner.

“Ha” represents the Sun and “tha” the moon.  Thousands of years old, Hatha Yoga guides Practitioners through breathwork with the Asanas toward reaching an energetic balance of the Mind and Body.  Poses are more static- unlike a Vinyasa or Flow class where the poses are woven, Hatha moves with a slower approach, holding traditional Asana, and a deep focus on the breath.   

  Hatha Yoga can improve the Practitioner's mood, decrease stress and anxiety, tones the muscles of all large groups, improves posture, improves balance, and is a wonderful compliment to one's whole wellness.

Bhakti meets vinyasa - a strong, creative, and uplifting flow with an emphasis on sequencing. Our theme is rooted in Vedic stories and yoga philosophy, creating a heart forward approach to movement. Join Sonia Karas to chant, reflect, and allow the body and breath to be a gateway to clarity and awareness.

Spirited Flow is wonderful for practitioners who enjoy a physical practice but are looking to take it deeper. This is an awesome opportunity to be introduced to some of the other limbs of yoga in a way that is approachable and fun.

Curious about yoga therapy? Interested in learning more about yourself while deepening your yoga practice? In this all-level therapeutic class, we explore a wide range of practices geared to promote overall health and wellbeing. Physical postures are highlighted to reduce physical imbalance that leads to common aches and pains while increasing strength, mobility, and flexibility. Meditation and breathing exercises are used to boost focus, concentration, and feelings of peace and relaxation.

Gather together to celebrate the longest day of the year! Vinyasa Flow will thread into a refreshing Yin practice lead by Sonia Karas. Along the path, together we will hear Yogic stories about the Sun and experience an uplifting Mantra Meditation.

On our mats, we'll explore playful standing sequences throughout our flow, which then lead us into some delightful slow restorative postures.

Baba's Feed Project, Inc. is a California non-profit corporation. Our 501(c)(3) application is in process and pending.  Baba's Feed Project was created to purchase food and deliver food kits to families throughout Northern India who are deprived of the opportunity to work for survival. You can read about the founders & organization here. Everyone deserves the right to have their basic needs fulfilled.

We believe that sustainable work is locally-led. Along with implementing community-owned feeding projects, we dream of providing education and employment opportunities.

Baba Neem Karoli was a much-beloved Indian saddhu whose teachings were quite simple. He told his devotees to "Love, serve and feed people," and said, "God comes to the hungry as food." His ashram fed everyone who came to visit, and although he left his body in 1973, devotees worldwide still honor and worship him. The founders of this organization - from New Zealand, India and the U.S. - are among those devotees, and were inspired to live his teachings. We know that when people aren't scrambling to find scraps to eat life feels a little less stressful. They can even think a bit about their children's future. They can dare to dream. With full bellies, everyone can stay healthier and life is a little easier. Our feed kits can help.

Bhakti meets vinyasa- a strong, creative and uplifting flow with an emphasis on sequencing. Our theme is rooted in Vedic stories and yoga philosophy, creating a heart forward approach to movement. We chant, reflect, and allow the body and breath to be a gateway to clarity and awareness. Powerful and playful, this class offers opportunities to take flight and explore variations, intentional movement, and intuitive breath.

This special class is wonderful for practitioners who enjoy a physical practice, but are looking to take it deeper. This is an awesome opportunity to be introduced to some of the other limbs of yoga in a way that is approachable, and fun.

This is the practice that started it all for me, and it is such a joy to share it with you.
