How Did You Hear About Us?
Calia Fernandez
Restorative Yoga
Calia moved to NYC to study fine art and philosophy at The New School, and harmoniously found herself immersed in the tradition, spirit, and community of yoga. After doing housekeeping and front desk work at Now Yoga on Astor Place, she enrolled in their last teacher training under Renata DiBiase and Jana Hicks. Calia then discovered SOUK and was introduced to the Jivamukti Yoga method, crediting much of her zest for anatomy, alignment, and curated music to Rima and Monica.
Seeking to better understand the active-receptive dynamics of the body, she undertook restorative yoga training as a counterpart to balance the rigour of vinyasa. She steadily devotes her personal practice to the exploration of stillness in movement and movement in stillness. She continues to hone her assists, understanding of intelligent sequencing, and absorb the wisdom of yoga philosophy and meditation with the many unique and robust faculty of SOUK.
Described as grounded and dynamic by her first teachers, Calia seeks to cultivate the Daoist practice of effortless effort in all types of movement practices, emphasizing creativity as a discipline, and virtue as the embodied process of becoming.

SOUK Restorative & GONG Bath
Restorative yoga is a gentle, grounding practice that invites stillness and ease. With the support of props like bolsters and blankets, the body settles into restful shapes, allowing the nervous system to unwind and the mind to soften. There is no effort, only an invitation to let go into support. As layers of tension release, this practice supports clear seeing, a quiet returning to your original nature, beyond the noise of daily life. Whether you're feeling depleted, stressed, or simply seeking balance, restorative yoga offers space to reconnect with the clear, calm, spacious and boundlessly loving presence that always exists within you. Each class ends with a meditative gong bath to guide you to deep states of rest, integration, and inner stillness.
