Sonia Ratto

MA, MBA, RYT


I am a yoga educator and somatic practitioner with over 20 years of experience in yoga and conscious movement.

I specialize in working with adults 40+ and individuals navigating emotional healing, recovery from illness or injury, and periods of transition. My work supports those experiencing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, grief, hormonal shifts, insomnia, or simply a sense of disconnection from themselves.

Through intimate group settings and one-on-one sessions, I offer a highly personalized approach that integrates yoga, somatic awareness, expressive arts, and connection to nature. My teaching invites students to move beyond performance and into deep listening—where the body becomes a pathway for regulation, insight, and transformation.

I have been teaching since 2011, guiding classes, workshops, and retreats internationally, including in France, the United States (Denver, Sedona, Tucson), and Mexico. I have been recognized in the Marquis Who’s Who in America for my professional accomplishments.

My work is rooted in a simple yet powerful intention: to offer practices that help people reconnect with their bodies, navigate life with greater resilience, and access their own capacity to heal and evolve.

My approach weaves together:

Yoga

Somatic awareness

Expressive arts

I don’t teach large, fast-paced classes where you disappear in the room.

At Ocotillo Moon, I work with individuals and very small groups so that each person can be seen, guided, and supported with care.

My approach weaves together yoga, somatic awareness, breath and sounds, expressive arts, and connection to the natural environment

This integration allows the work to go beyond stretching or strengthening.
It becomes a process of listening, releasing, and reorganizing—physically, emotionally, and mentally.

You don’t have to be flexible.
You don’t have to be “advanced.”
You only have to be willing to begin where you are.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT


People often come for physical or emotional reasons—pain, tension, recovery, depression, anxiety... And while we absolutely work with the body, something deeper begins to unfold.

With time and consistency, many experience:

  • A more regulated nervous system

  • Reduced pain and increased mobility

  • Greater emotional balance

  • Better sleep and energy

  • A renewed sense of clarity and direction

This is not a quick fix.
It is a process of building a different relationship with your body—one based on trust, awareness, and respect.

If you are looking for a place where you can move at your own pace, be guided with attention and care, and reconnect with your body in a meaningful way—Ocotillo Moon is here for you.

This is a small space.
The work is intentional.
And the experience is personal.
