sophie
holistic healer

As a former student-athlete at Point Loma Nazarene University where she studied Exercise & Sport Science and Nutrition, the physical practice of yoga transformed my body and aided in recovery, injury prevention, as well as stress management. Because of her experience, Sophie decided to dive further into this practice so that she could share the benefits of yoga with others.
Sophie completed a 300-hour Teacher Training as well as completed a chakra, meditation, and Yoga Nidra certification course. Throughout her journey, she discovered the powerful benefits of sound healing that she loves to incorporate into her teaching. Taking care of the physical body has a direct impact on the mental & emotional body and the practice of yoga is so much more than just the hour spent on your mat.
