Helping you discover your physical capabilities & build strength inside & out
“Through Solshine, I use Pilates as a building block for you to deepen your mind-body connection, build core strength, and improve posture and mobility. Then fuse it with functional fitness, yoga, and mindfulness for a fully integrative and effective practice that leaves you feeling lighter, stronger, and vibrant”
Hi, I’m Sonja Lyth
(Prounounced Sun-ya). I’m a passionate fitness expert & integrative health coach here to help you cultivate a mindful & empowering relationship with exercise. As we age and our bodies start to change, practicing intentional, mindful movement like Pilates is the magic recipe to helping you move with more ease and strength, and to start seeing real results when what you used to do is no longer working. Here’s how:
☀️ You’ll learn to use breathwork to optimize your posture and connect to your deepest core muscles and stabilizers.
☀️ You’ll learn techniques that enhance the stability and mobility of your spine, and when this happens, pain in your lower back, neck, shoulders, and hips starts to go away.
☀️ You’ll have more range of motion, more freedom in movement, better body awareness, more strength and control with everything else you do… i.e, chasing your kid around, running, getting up and down stairs, playing sports, doing yoga, just moving with less pain and more ease.
It will rock your world and allow you to have the most functionally fit body you’ve ever had!
“My goal is not only for you to see results, but to help create a routine that you look forward to because it offers you the space to be present in your body, moves stagnant energy, feels amazing, and brings out your inner strength and joy!”
In 2007 I received my bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from the University of Hawaii Manoa, and soon after became a certified NASM personal trainer, Balanced Body Comprehensive Pilates teacher, and Health Coach from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.
Solshine Pilates is a culmilation of education and personal transformation through movement and over 18 years of experience creating and designing countless programs for clients that lead to incredible transformations inside and out.
Whether you want to improve overall athletic performance, rehabilitate from an injury, improve pre/post-natal pelvic floor health, or gain a deeper awareness of your body, I have you covered and can hardly wait to start you on your journey!

“ I got started after the holidays and was amazed at how quickly the weight started to come off. Within eight weeks of training, I was able to drop 17 pounds, and felt vibrant again! Her passion and understanding of a person’s needs are second to none, and I must say, my favorite workout with Sonja is the next one.”

“My goals have been met and exceeded!! I spring out of bed every morning without any back pain, I have much more endurance with my clients and most importantly I feel beautiful on the inside and the outside. I made the commitment to myself and Sonja & finally feel like the woman I have always wanted to be.”

Solshine Meaning
The name Solshine stems from the meaning behind the Solar Plexus “Soul Shine” chakra. The Solar Plexus is a bundle of nerves that sits below your diaphragm and is surrounded by the muscles of the Core. When this chakra is “off” it can cause feelings of anxiety, insecurity, and unworthiness, but when it’s balanced, it promotes strength, personal empowerment, and inner radiance.
Your core is your “powerhouse”, and when you activate these deep muscles, it not only builds physical strength but helps remove stagnant/trapped energy. As you deepen your mind-body awareness, heal pain, build strength, and discover your physical capabilities, it helps ignite that strength and vibrance from within!
This concept represents my mission and passion behind teaching, both now and throughout the last 2 decades!
