“You have to hear this woman’s voice to truly understand. Sophia’s yoga classes feel like my version of going to church. I truly believe that unicorn yoga teachers like Sophia are the reason that brick and mortar studios will survive. Her classes give me at a base level what I always want, a dreamy flow, deep stretches and strength building. But the reason that Sophia’s classes do more for me than any other “good yoga class,” is that she truly makes it an experience. For an hour, I get a break from my thoughts and am completely engulfed in her soothing, powerful voice. Her physical presence is truly magical. Time stands still while following along with her words and graceful, strong movements. And then all of a sudden, the class is over and it’s time to wake up. At this point, I realize that while I was busy being transported to a different universe with Sophia in the driver’s seat, she truly kicked my ass. I’ll be sore for a week but never with regret.” - Lauren M.

Sophia began her practice fifteen years ago with an eager mind and blossoming interest in the potency of the body. Once introduced to the flow of Vinyasa, she became fascinated with the correlation between an activated breath and authentic communication. In the intervening years she has had the pleasure of teaching students from L.A. to St. Louis to Spain.

Sophia received her 200hr RYT certification in 2015 with CorePower Yoga, and went on to serve a KarmaYoga Internship with Benjamin Sears at LuxYoga Retreat in Southern France.

Whether on the mat, leading a class, or on stage, the power of breath and mindful movement are mainstays in her method.

“Sophia's inviting warmth and bubbly laughter are two of my favorite parts of taking her classes. She creates an environment that allows me to connect my physical self to my spirit and mind through her intentional listening and mindful guidance. In a class setting, Sophia gently cultivates both a gracious sense of connection among the entire group, and space for me to experience a more loving relationship with myself.” - Shannon H.

“Sophia brings a powerful and grounding energy to her classes. She encourages me to challenge myself and to be kind and patient with my progress. She reminds me to have fun with my practice, to appreciate my body, and to smile and breathe deeper, especially when the poses get tough. I love her classes, and I take them any chance I get!” - Olivia B.

"Sophia is a caring and attentive teacher who sets the tone for a safe and loving practice. No matter your level, Sophia welcomes you home to your own body by way of her oceanic and melodic voice that soothes and inspires you. When making adjustments, her touch is gentle and calm. She invites authentic laughter into her classes which I feel is rare!” - Lana D.B.
