My husband and I have been attending Sophie’s yoga classes for more than 7 years now. We enjoy the friendly atmosphere there and very much appreciate all the exercises. Sophie always demonstrates every single exercise we are doing. For those of us who have problems with one of them she demonstrates alternatives, so nobody feels left out. She also comes round and corrects individuals in case of mistakes. Our flexibility, posture, core strength and balance have improved tremendously. As she also connects correct breathing with our physical exercise, we always feel calm and relaxed at the end of our practice.
We can only highly recommend Sophie.
After seven years of practicing yoga with Sophie, it’s clear she’s not just a teacher; she’s a true guide. Her 1:2:1 classes are a perfect balance of challenging and nurturing, and she has a remarkable ability to see what I need. I’ve grown so much under her guidance, not just in my physical practice, but in my understanding of yoga’s deeper principles.
Sophie’s passion is infectious, and her detailed cues and gentle adjustments have helped me find new strength and flexibility I never thought possible. She creates a welcoming, inclusive space where I feel understood and supported, no matter my energy level. If you’re looking for a teacher who will inspire you to go deeper into your practice Sophie is the one. I’m incredibly grateful for her dedication and wisdom.
I have recently started yoga on a one to one basis with Sophie; i am a complete beginner so the one on one attention to detail ensures that i am performing the movements correctly & am learning the breathing techniques which i can incorporate in day to day life. Sophie is an excellent communicator with a very calm and comforting approach to teaching. Our aim is to improve my posture and core strength; the exercises that Sophie provides me to do at home helps me to focus on the key areas of the body so that we can progress when i attend my next one to one session. I feel extremely relaxed after each session; it has made me really aware of how important it is to take time for myself, relax & have a positive mind ; Sophie is a true professional of her craft & i always look forward to my next session.
An excellent teacher!
Sophie’s calm, methodical approach means that her classes are accessible to everyone – when I joined her class I was very unfit having had a shoulder injury and i couldn’t believe how much better I felt even after the first session.
Sophie’s directions are clear and precise, so even if you are new to yoga or haven’t been for a while, she will make sure you not only know what you are doing, but that you are getting the most out of it for you.
She constantly gently reminds you how to make all of those subtle little adjustments to get the most out of the posture, which is particularly helpful when doing the classes online.
And she offers alternatives so that everyone can get the most out of the class, whatever your level.
I love the feeling that I’ve worked hard yet always come out relaxed and refreshed.
A great teacher whose classes continue to keep me going through lockdown.
Would highly recommend.
Sophie is a fabulous Yoga teacher – always giving clear and well paced instructions alongside her physical demonstrations. She always focuses on the breath during the classes, leaving a feeling of being more supple, stronger, cleansed (I’m sure all that deep breathing does a lot of good!) and peaceful after her classes.
I enjoy being able to take part online via Zoom, and Sophie checks on how everyone is doing, so it still feels personal and tailored to the individual. She also offers different versions of each exercise, so her classes can benefit a wide range of participants.
I wouldn’t miss Sophie’s classes for anything!
If I don’t do yoga with Sophie at least once a week I’m in trouble! Tight shoulders, lower back pain and general stiffness are eased and I feel so much better and more relaxed after one of her classes. Sophie has been a cheerful and comforting on line presence during this past lockdown year. She explains and demonstrates all that we do extremely clearly at every class, any beginner can follow. She is the best yoga teacher I’ve had in my 25 years of yoga in different counties. I’m so glad of her on line presence as I’ve moved from Seaford to Dorset.
