Solshine Pilates and Wellness -

Kira Heyden

I have been practicing with Sonja for about 3 years and Pilates in general for 10+ years. Sonja challenges us every class, changes the flows to keep things interested, and provides clear instruction. On top of that, she is genuinely sweet, caring, and loves what she does. My body feels strong and balanced and I love the community of women she has fostered. I would recommend practicing with Sonja a thousand times over!

Solshine Pilates has been transformative to my lifestyle and wellbeing. I struggle with finding the time in my life to go to pilates/exercise classes, and when I do have time, often these class schedules do not align with my free moments. It has been easy to make excuses to not work out and treat my body well. Since joining Solshine Pilates, that has changed. I am able to access amazing classes with Sonja at anytime, and anywhere, and particularly love her Fit on the Fly series which allows me to choose 10-25 minute workouts for when I just need to get some movement in before work, but don't have the time for a full hour long class. It is how I start my morning every day! What's more is that Sonja brings the same level of energy, positivity, and encouragement to her recorded videos as she does to her live classes. This is something about Sonja that is just incredible and rare - the fact that I can engage with a prerecorded video, and feel like I am right there in the studio with her! Additionally, Sonja truly caters her platform to her subscribers. She encourages requests and input, she creates space for a variety of offerings including Live Zoom sessions, and she is passionate about what she does, and genuinely cares about you, her valued client. I could not recommend Sonja and Solshine Pilates any more. It is truly an online pilates experience like no other - and ridiculously affordable.

Sonja's on demand Pilates sessions are the custom fit answer to my fitness goals at 64 years young. I can choose what I want to work on, for how long, and in the privacy of my home, especially during the winter months. Sonja's knowledge, choreography and personality keep me highly motivated so that I use my app 5 days a week! It's the best. Sciatic leg pain is gone. Flexibility, balance and strength are increasing. This app is a bargain!

I have been doing Pilates for 10 years in several different cities and states, and can confidently say that Sonja is the best Pilates teacher I have ever had! Whether it is on the reformer or the mat, she thoughtfully designs highly creative and challenging classes while maintaining a welcoming and kind atmosphere and community. She somehow maintains a gentle calm while encouraging you to push yourself. Her classes have helped me through some difficult times, and I always look forward to see what she will cook up for us next!

I am so grateful that I learned pilates foundations from Sonja. I have been her client for three years, and her workouts continue to be a delightful mix of challenge and creativity. Each session is thoughtfully designed and super fun. Sonja will help you work the tiniest muscles, ones you didn’t even know you had.

Sonja is joyful and playful as a teacher, and she makes the toughest sequences accessible to all bodies. Her positivity is uplifting and will push you farther than you think you can go. If you’re seeking a trainer who balances deep expertise with excellent vibes, Sonja is your person.

Working with Sonja gave me my life back. When I started with Sonja a few years ago my muscles were weak, tight and I experienced a tremendous amount of pain daily. It all stemmed from a difficult pregnancy, a vehicle accident and an unwillingness to work on my own health. Sonja pushes you to be your best because she truly wants it for you. She finds the problem and works to address it because she has an incredible understanding of the body, health and fitness. When I first started with her I couldn’t do one lunge let alone stand on one foot. Because of her, I now compete in fitness competitions and have fallen in love with fitness and being strong. Thank you Sonja!

Sonja is a really great trainer! I originally went to her with some persistent injuries that were holding me back. Despite that she was able to prove great workouts always gently pushing my limits. Since then, I've recovered and have gotten stronger than I thought possible at my age. Highly recommended!
