Hi, I'm Sophie a Yoga Teacher and Movement Practitioner based in The New Forest, Hampshire. My mission is to help people feel their best; in mind, body and soul. I aim to create yoga flows that make your heart sing, empowering each and every student to fall in love with their body and what it can achieve. Modern life is full of stress, pressure and worries, so I invite you to join me for that precious moment of escapism from the outside world, with time to focus on yourself and to improve not only your physical health, but your mental wellbeing too.
My connection to movement and its transformative impact has been a lifelong passion, but a deeper understanding developed while studying for my BA (Hons) Contemporary Dance Degree. I focused my final research on the Phenomenology of Dance; an exploration of how a dancer can find true presence in the moment. I later learnt that this research hugely relates to yoga and meditation - a full circle moment! My love for movement transitioned from dance to yoga after completing my degree in 2015. I had dipped my toe in various yoga styles, but it wasn't until I found Vinyasa Flow that I really caught the bug! It felt so freeing to move my body in a familiar way, without the external judgement of how everything was being 'performed'.
Having now taught yoga for almost 5 years, I have grown into my own personal sequencing style, which is deeply influenced by my background and training; students describe classes as freeing, expansive and playful. I encourage each student to explore their personal sense of ease, choosing how they move their body in each moment, recognising that yoga is a journey unique to every person. I am continuously striving to curate special events in beautiful settings, providing a platform for my community of like minded individuals to come together and share these experiences collectively.
