Title: Yoginisattva

Sofia Diaz is a gifted teacher of hatha yoga, sacred movement, and feminine spiritual practice, deriving her style of teaching and body philosophy from the South Indian temple arts and their accompanying scriptures. Along with 23 years of intensive study and daily practice of several traditions of yoga, she has apprenticed since 1982 with dance and music masters of the Balasaraswati lineage of Bharata Natyam. Sofia has founded a school of hatha yoga and sacred movement arts in Boulder Colorado, and holds a bachelor's degree in Dance from Mills College in Oakland, California and a Masters Degree in Religious Studies from The University of Colorado, Boulder. She lectures on the embodiment principles of religious culture based in the examination of sacred movement, and has taught as a guest lecturer at many universities and developed coursework designed to integrate somatic understanding in an academic setting. She has most recently taught in the Department of Somatic Psychology at Naropa University and the University of Colorado in Boulder while developing a program of hatha yoga and sacred dance as intersubjectively transmitted arts. Sofia has had work on yoga and sacred movement published in both academic and popular journals, and travels frequently, teaching men and women's yoga and “spiritualized body” intensives throughout the United States, Australia, Europe and India.
