Hi, I'm Sophie, it is lovely to meet you
My Yoga journey began many years ago, finding a healthier way to exercise, to live and to be peaceful in my mind following a decade of managing and coping with personal grief and trauma. I can hand on heart say Yoga literally saved my life. I felt it a duty to use my skills to help others, which led on a path of discovering Pilates within my new world, incorporating holistic therapies and eventually opening up to the community as a whole, from pregnancy to birth also.
I have worked alongside Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue and the NHS and I am a Practical Assessor for the British School of Yoga. I love to bring communities together, creating a safe space for everyone and helping people to cope and manage with everyday life on a physical, mental and social level through classes.

Hi, I'm Yvette, I am so happy to meet you!
My yoga journey began many many years ago when I rolled out my mat for the first time in an Ashtanga class. Although a 'baptism of fire', Ashtanga mirrored and worked well with my personality at that time and served me well for many years to follow.
Ashtanga is still my 'go to' practice. That first experience created the start of a journey that still continues today. I am continually inspired and mesmerised by the transformative and supportive nature of Yoga and Holistic therapies.
Through the years I become interested in the philosophy of Yoga. As I delved deeper into this amazing gift I realised that I have actually been practicing, all be it not Asana based, yoga all of my life. Brought up to respect others, to treat myself and others with kindness and consideration, to think good of all things and to be content and at ease with myself was simply a reflection of the first two limbs of Yoga.
Through the years, as my inner child grew calmer so has my practice and teaching of yoga. My classes are based on harmony and grounding, teaching from the heart with love and passion to encourage positive change on and off the mat
I have also worked with The Christie Hospital, The limbless association, the BBC, and I have presented at the yoga show on behalf of BWY
