STATE: How important is it to keep teaching yourself new ways to stay healthy and learning new skills to defend yourself?
Avital: I had to re-define self-defense for myself in order to start using my knowledge to not only protect, but build my best life. In doing so, I have been able to bring a health and authentic happiness into every aspect of my life. I learned to love challenging myself whether it is creating new self-defense variations for women, pushing myself to reach fitness and health milestones, or taking chances on creating a life I love.
STATE: How did the Soteria Method come about?
Avital: The Soteria Method came about from my commitment to share with as many women as possible, the physical and mental discoveries I made through my personal healing process. Named after the goddess of safety, The Soteria Method brings women a unique practice of self-defense, fitness, and empowerment. The method is designed to guide women towards living life to it’s fullest, while being armed with the knowledge to defend themselves mentally and physically against a violent threat or attack.
STATE: We know you’re a fan of the #GiveBackPack! Why do you think it’s important to give back to your community?
Avital: I feel that true beauty and creativity comes out when you can help others. I found that teaching other women, has given my new purpose and meaning in life. I am constantly honored and humbled by the amazing women I teach and the sense of community and support we build for one another.
