Hi! I'm Sophie,
a qualified yoga teacher.
a qualified Hatha Yoga teacher, Level 2 Mindfulness Meditation teacher and Poppy Perinatal Yoga Teacher, and currently in training for my advanced yoga certificate. My classes are inspired by a variety of teachers and movement practices, including Hatha Yoga, Forrest Yoga, Somatics and Functional Movement. They include a mix of strength building, playfulness, stretching, balancing and meditation, designed in a way that is accessible for a diversity of bodies and energy levels.
My classes are suitable for beginners and pregnant or post-partum people. Upon request, I can offer one-to-ones or 6-week online beginners’ courses in meditation or yoga, should you prefer to learn from the comfort of your own home, with friends or family, first. I also teach classes for the staff of corporate clients.
