About Sonia
and how Yogazonia came to be…
YOGAZONIA is curated and owned by Sonia Dalessi, who’s been passionately guiding people from all walks of life on yoga journeys on the mat since 2003. She currently lives in Truth or Consequences, NM where she runs a small studio attached to her home, and hosts a variety of yoga events in and around the community throughout the year (when she’s not globe trotting to scout out the next magical spot for a yogazonia journey).
She discovered yoga as a teen when she was a lost, hurt, and confused soul.Her first class was a feast of “aha”moments that set the stage for a path of healing, self discovery, and connecting to the essence of being fully alive…through consistent exploration and practice of yoga.
As a young woman, she fully embraced her gypsy spirit, and spent over a decade traveling the globe solo, living/working in various yoga centers, studying with a plethora of world renowned teachers, and learning about the essence of the human spirit by immersing in vastly different cultures.
It is the culmination of those two major chapters of her life that brought about a clear sense of passion and purpose to share the abundant gifts of both yoga and travel with others…hence Yogazonia journeys came to be.
The intentions
OF YOGAZONIA JOURNEYS
Curated from the heart of my life experiences that have shown me what profound teachers, healers, and sources of self discovery both travel and yoga are, Yogazonia Journeys are crafted with the intention that you too can embrace and receive the abundant gifts that yoga and travel combined will present you with. Intentionally, though destinations vary, they are chosen with off the beaten path, cultural immersion, unique adventures, and stunning natural wonders at the forefront of the design process. I deeply believe that those are the elements that will provide opportunities that will stretch you, strengthen you, expand you, connect you, teach you, heal you, open you, challenge you, feed your soul, and ultimately promote growth and self discovery. By infusing it all with a deep dive yoga journey, you’ll be guided in the process of being present and grounded, allowing you to absorb it all more deeply and carry it home within you…..thus changing you
