I'm Jhonathan Soutchy, though many know me as Yoni. I was born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel, and my journey with movement began early—I started dancing at just six years old. This passion led me to a career as a dancer, choreographer, and a ballet and modern dance teacher, culminating in a B.Ed in Dance.
Beyond the dance studio, I've dedicated myself to the healing arts. I'm certified in a wide range of therapeutic modalities, including Swedish, medical, trigger point, and deep tissue massage. My expertise also extends to CranioSacral therapy, sound healing, Theta healing, and Shiva Murti healing. As a Reiki Master Teacher, I integrate energy work deeply into my practice.
Two years ago, I founded Shape An Alignment, and I'm continually developing it. I approach all my work with love, drawing on years of experience, and I truly consider myself a lifelong student.
