YOUR LEADERS:
About Lilia Sofia
Lilia Sofia is a graduate of RYT 200 of Blue Lotus Yoga, now LIFT Yoga + Body. She is from Mexico City and has been living in Atlanta with her family for over 25 years. Lilia started on her Yoga journey 20 years ago. More than anything, Lilia found that the Yogic philosophy was just as important as the Yogic practice. Through time, she realized that staying present, mindful, and breathing through hardships of life was extremely important.
Her callings led her to become a Reiki Master, a certified Health and Wellness coach (from a program she took at Emory University), and a graduating Yoga instructor of Blue Lotus Yoga, now “LIFT Yoga + Body”. She has also worked to receive a certification in Bioenergetic Training and Mindfulness for Stress Reduction, also known as MBSR.
About Adriana
Adriana is a RYT-200 certified yoga teacher. She is currently working towards her 500 hrs certification. She has enjoyed a personal practice for over 20 years, participating in many workshops and retreats all over the world. Through yoga, Adriana builds the foundation of her mental, spiritual and physical health. She is constantly learning and practicing different healing modalities to expand her knowledge. She completed courses/workshops in Ayurveda, restorative yoga, pranayama, meditation and menstruality among others. She encourages all those around her to explore life with a sense of curiosity and adaptability.
She wants students to feel peaceful, grounded and empowered. She hopes to simply be a vessel that will aid those down a path of awakening to become their most genuine and truest version of themselves.
Special Guest: Michael Burke
Michael Murphy Burke was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on September 30, 1959. This happens to be the same day that Rumi, the great Sufi mystic poet, was born. This is not a coincidence, as “coincidence is just God’s way of staying anonymous”. Michael grew up surrounded by music, art, passion, freedom of expression, and the absolute power of living on his own path.
He’s been a poet all his life, with his first published material being in his high school newspaper when he was a sophomore. More recently, he contributes steadily to Oracle Magazine and is also published in Aquarius Magazine and Conscious Life Journal. In addition to writing, Michael also creates artistic visions in a variety of woods for private clients as a custom woodworker.
He can also be found doing spoken word, sound journeys and meditations throughout the Atlanta area and beyond.
