Sophie received her yoga teacher certification from the University of Washington’s Yoga Teacher Training program in 2021. She specializes in Vinyasa yoga, but has experience teaching mindful movement and strength-based classes as well.

Sophie’s approach to teaching yoga is individual and inclusive. She aims to provide access to yoga for all bodies and cater to all experience levels while prioritizing safety and proper alignment.

Her training emphasized the history of yoga, including how the practice has been commercialized and appropriated over time. Sophie practices with respect and awareness of yoga’s cultural and historical roots.

She believes the practice of yoga can be used not only as a physical workout, but as a tool to improve focus and manage stress.

She currently attends the University of Washington, earning a double major in Psychology and English with a concentration in Creative Writing.
