Sojourner Walker Williams (she/her) is an energy healer, ayurvedic practitioner, and yoga teacher/trainer. Sojourner draws from her experiences as a Reiki Master, Akashic Records reader, Thai Bodywork practitioner, Reyad Sekh Em practitioner (Kemetic Alchemy Healing), and 500+ hours of yoga teacher trainings, to integrate a variety of healing modalities during her sessions depending upon the unique needs of each person in her care.
A practicing yoga instructor, Sojourner guides her students to turn inwards and dig deep to release stagnant spaces and liberate creativity through fluid breath driven movement. Devotion, creativity and joy are three words that reflect her yoga teaching style. Sojourner’s classes are about connecting breath with movement, finding and trusting in balance, and grounding down to uncover the courage to embrace challenges both on and off the mat. Sojourner began teaching yoga in 2008 and has taught in a variety of settings from the United States Senate, elementary and middle school classrooms and yoga studios in NYC and Washington DC.
Sojourner is also the author of Natural Beauty from the Outside In (Stackpole Books). Part recipe book and part travelogue, Natural Beauty from the Outside In chronicles her many international adventures from which she has drawn inspiration for her 100% natural and family friendly body care product recipes. Natural Beauty from the Outside In is available HERE. Her short story “Yemaya’s Daughters” will be published in the forthcoming anthology “Boundaries and Borders” in conjunction with the Imani House in the Winter of 2022.

She is currently a Waldorf educator. Sojourner has a BFA in Musical Theatre, a MA in Educational Theatre and a MST in Secondary English Education and is energized by teaching and designing curriculum.

Until our paths cross again…
be fierce and strong like the sun
radiant and kind like the moon
may your heart
like silver starlight
forever shine against the velvet dark sky
