About Lilia Sofia
Lilia Sofia is a graduate of RYTT 200 of Blue Lotus Yoga. She is from Mexico City and has been living in Atlanta with her family for 26 years.
Lilia started on her yoga journey 20 years ago when her son was 1 year old. Her routine used to be to drop him off at a mother morning out program for a couple of hours in order to go to her yoga classes. Yoga became a big part of her life as a mother, and later, in her everyday life as she returned to her career in Hospitality Sales and Marketing and later on in the Insurance Business.
In 2020, Lilia experienced a different way to see her health and her goals, and decided that she would like to change her career. At 50 her focus shifted to the awareness of the spirit and followed her inner guidance and calling. She started working towards her goal and now has completed bioenergetic training, become a Reiki Master, received a “Health and Wellness” coaching certification from Emory University and a certification from MBSR - “Mindfulness for Stress Reduction”, a program by Jon Kabat-Zin on mindfulness. She has also become a coach in changing habits, has taken a course on Yoga therapy and is currently in route to obtain a one-year certification in Mexico for Chinese Medicine and Yoga.
Lilia Sofia founded "Harmony and Wellness" with the mission to help customers shift their perspectives to achieve their goals in health and wellness. In 2023 she co-hosted local workshops and day retreats for yoga and meditation in Milton, Georgia as well as a couple of weekend retreats at Elohee, in North Georgia. In 2023 She also taught yoga classes and created Yoga, Meditation and Wellness workshops at "The Workshop" in Woodstock, GA. In June of 2024, she joined "Stillness Yoga and Meditation Center, where she hosts workshops and teaches Gentle Yoga, Yoga en Español, Chair Yoga and Mindfulness. She also hosted 8 workshops in 2024.
She loves to teach in both English and Spanish languages.
Lilia Sofia aims to share a practice that fosters peace and balance both on and off the mat, emphasizing stretching, mindful breathing, and the development of healthy habits.
At 50 years old, she finally took a leap of faith and started to craft a career around her healing journey. Her mission was to help people achieve their goals and aspirations, just as she achieved hers. She looks to help others heal as she heals herself.
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. She has also worked to receive a certification in Bioenergetic Training and Mindfulness for Stress Reduction, also known as MBSR.
This all led to the birth of Harmony and Wellness, LLC. Our mission as a company is to help customers shift their perspectives to achieve their goals in health and wellness.
Lilia Sofia is a proud mother of a son who has experienced severe depression and anxiety. Through time, she realized that parenting someone who is working through mental health hardships can lead to some extreme anxiety within itself. This led Lilia to grow and cope through anxiety of her own; she learned a lot of coping mechanisms and she grew a lot from that experience. She decided to place a focus on helping mothers who have kids / teenagers struggling through depression / anxiety; she strives to help parents feel calm and understood. Through time, they both endured and overcame the struggle and became closer throughout the process.
Currently, Lilia Sofia is a student of “Instituto Habitos” in Monterrey, Mexico. She is on course to obtain a certification for “Coaching in Changing Habits” by 2023.
