My name is Sonia Rodriguez, and I welcome you to Hawk And The Sage!
I have found my home in the beautiful and mystical city of Encinitas, California.
My Story
My name is Sonia Rodriguez. I am a Yoga Instructor, Movement Facilitator, Sound Practitioner and Divine Light Healer. I began my journey as a Dance Fitness Instructor, and after 4 years of pushing my body to its limits, it finally gave out on me. My body was in a tremendous amount of pain, I was unable do any form of physical exercise. I didn't realize it at the time, but the movement was my meditation and it allowed me to process my day-to-day emotions. Without my movement, I had no way of filtering out my experiences. I began experiencing debilitating anxiety attacks, and depression and I was on the edge of a nervous breakdown. I did not know how to meditate, but I quickly had to teach myself, one minute at a time, until eventually I could build up to 1-hour. This was the beginning of my shift into a higher state of consciousness. I discovered the crystal singing bowls and their profound healing effects, and I pursued becoming a Sound Healing Practitioner. The sound bowls led me to a 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training, which transformed my life! It's taken me 3 years to get back to movement, to allow my body to heal, and to be present with it. It's a constant journey! I now provide various classes which include Sound Healing, Divine Light Healing, Mindful Movement, and Rhythmic Dance.
My Path Toward Self-Realization
In 2019, Sonia completed her100-hour Foundations of Sound Healing Certification through the Soul of Yoga in Encinitas, CA. It was then she received the calling to move to Encinitas!
In June of 2021 Sonia, her husband, Brett and two out of three children (Adelina and Camila) transplanted from Vacaville, CA to Encinitas, CA. After settling in, in March of 2022, she began working with the Sacred Sound Of The Soul.
In September of 2021, Sonia began her journey at the Spiritual Arts Institute, located in Encinitas California. Her goal is to become a certified Divine Light Healer. The practice is based on the concept that one has the power to change circumstances in their life by working with their auric field. Sonia discovered SAI in 2018 while visiting a friend in San Diego, she picked up the books, began flipping though them and started working with the meditations right away. She noticed how the meditations where positively effecting her outlook and life. She has been working with the Divine Light ever since and weaves it into all her modalities.
In January of 2022, Began recording Alchemy Sound Bowls for Sacred Sound Of The Soul. Shortly after, she began providing private Sound Healings at the temple. Sonia currently has regular weekly events featuring the Alchemy bowls accompanied by other beautiful healing instruments such as the Monochord, Therapy Harp, kalimba, Native American Flute, Tibetan bowls, Chimes, and various Drums.
Sonia envisioned a future that included her providing yoga in unison with the crystal bowls. In May 2022 she decided to pursue Yoga Teacher Training and earned her 200 Hour Hatha Yoga Teaching Certificate through the Soul Of Yoga. In July 2022, began holding weekly sound healings with the Crystal Tones Alchemy Bowls at the Sacred Sound Of The Soul.
After completing her Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) she was sure she would begin teaching yoga, instead she was approached with an opportunity to teach Dance Cardio. In November of 2022, Sonia began teaching World Rhythms at the Soul Of Yoga. One month later she began offering Meditation, Movement and Mantra.
Sonia has recently introduced FREEDOM DANCE as a modality to break free of any boundaries that are no longer serving the soul. Through movement, she guides participants to create a conversation with the body and connect to their intuition.
Sonia continues to draw upon her experience from her years of teaching and training to create a safe and inviting space that fosters a connection to mind, body, and spirit.
