As she lies on the mat, taking deep, intentional breaths during a 12-minute sound bath at the close of a session at Afya Yoga Studio, Sonita Abrahams Burrowes wears a familiar, satisfied smile. It is a feeling she has come to know well in her 50 years of practising yoga, a discipline that has done more than keep her body supple and her mind centred. It has shaped her approach to life, grounding her in the present and bringing her a sense of calm, purpose, and connection to a community that extends beyond the mat.
