Hi, my name is Sonia Dezius and I offer holistic remedial massage in a quiet therapy room close to Ocean Beach, and yoga classes in town at the Denmark Yoga Centre. Santosha is a Sanskrit word often translated as contentment. It is the second Niyamas (personal observances) of Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga.
Santosha helps to lead us into a more positive relationship with ourselves, allowing our true nature to be revealed and available to this precious human life. Contentment is the prerequisite to experiencing peace. I believe this is one of the most challenging of personal observances and remains at the core of my own journey to live a vital and centred life.

I went to see Sonia, after quite a lot of trauma in my life. Sonia supported me emotionally and physically without words, but with her intuitive touch and presence. I was held safely in her massage space, therefore allowing me to 'let go'. She was right on point ( excuse the pun) in all meridians and released a lot for me. I only wished I lived in Denmark so I could continue to have such an incredible healer! Yoga with this woman is incredible too! Gentle guidance and support the whole way. Thanks Sonia, you were such a delight! Will definitely go back when I get the chance! Much love.

I recently attended Sonia's Wed morning yoga class. It was such a beautiful class. It was the perfect balance of physical challenge and spiritual connection. I hadn't been to a yoga class for some years but found that the class whilst gentle left me feeling like I'd extended myself without any strain. I felt fully supported by Sonia's obvious knowledge of the body on a physical and energetic level. This will definitely be a regular class for me. Thank you!
