I’m Soraya Latiff (she/her), a first-generation Kalinago, Indo-, and Afro-Caribbean wellness guide and somatic artist. I am a 500+ hour certified yoga teacher, Pilates instructor, trauma-informed somatic coach, and Reiki Level II energy healer.

For over a decade, I worked as an educator, community organizer, equity consultant, and faculty professor of healing and social justice, leading transformative initiatives with young people and communities of color that center decolonization, resilience, and liberation. My work bridges ancestral wisdom, somatic practices, and social justice, creating pathways for healing and thriving in body, mind, and spirit.

I am the founder of Sovereign Pilates and Liberstory pilates and yoga, a wellness framework rooted in classical training and ancestral wisdom and reimagined through a liberatory lens, and the creator of In Movement There Is Blessing, a series of retreats and workshops that integrate movement, ritual, and creative expression for personal and collective transformation while reconnecting with what it means to be human in our times with other communities.

I’ve trained multiple cohorts of women of color as trauma-informed space holders, developed my own trauma-informed curriculum, and shared this work on TEDx, Fiske Planetarium, and international wellness platforms.

My practice is informed by my own journey of healing from complex PTSD, as well as immersive study and experience across the Caribbean, East Africa, and Bali. I help individuals and communities reconnect to their gifts, vision, and embodied power, integrating movement, ritual, creativity, and reflection to live more liberated, intentional, and joy-filled lives.

Whether you are joining me for mentorship, retreats, workshops, or private sessions, my work is rooted in ancestral reverence, trauma-informed care, and liberatory change, helping us reclaim our power, honor your lived experience, and create offerings and a life aligned with your values and gifts.
