~ Yoga at Wyton-on-the-Hill!🙏 ~

~ Excited to be back on the mat to lead practice! ~

Following my move to Cambridgeshire - I'm thrilled to share it's been confirmed that I'll be running regular yoga classes on Wednesday nights, right here on the patch! 😍

The primary school are kindly letting me rent their hall space so there will be plenty of room - i'm fully qualified, personally insured, and my style of teaching is accessible to all levels and totally beginner friendly! Classes will be £10 per 75min session, or you can bulk book for a discount.

I teach a "Vinyasa Flow" style yoga practice, so connecting movement with breathwork and flowing from pose to pose... so come in comfy clothing that you can work out in, a warm layer/socks for relaxation at the end, and don't forget your yoga/fitness mat!

Classes commence next Wednesday night (Oct 6th) and are weekly, except for half term ~ So if you'd like to join me (or if you have any further questions) please get in touch! I can't wait to meet you all and share my love for the practice with the community here 🥰
Namaste!
Sophie

Autumn walks are (quite literally) a breath of fresh air for my mental health.🍂

As always Frankly Average Clothing is keeping me cozy! 🥰

10/10/2020

Spent this morning with Allison Charles walking the world’s longest pier, in aid of ...all donations & proceeds going to One Love Soup Kitchen

With today also being ~ I cannot even fathom to think how it must feel to be a vulnerable individual on the streets, whilst fighting internal battles. Let’s take this weekend to check in with ourselves, check in with our loved ones, and take a moment to extend warmth, patience + random acts of kindness to others... Because the only thing more exhausting than having a mental illness is pretending like you don’t... and no one should ever have to struggle in silence.

“And just like that, summer collapsed into fall.🍂”

Although I’m definitely a summer lover - the sunshine, the heat, escaping to the beach... after how unconventional this year has been so far, I am really looking forward to the coziness of autumn ☕️

Okay Instagram - time to open up. So I’ve actually put a pause on my park classes. Due to a combination of things really, the weather being frustratingly unpredictable, my own work + study schedule kicking up a notch, and everyone else returning to work too... and to be honest, it has knocked me a little bit. My inner critic starts yapping away: “no one wants to come to your classes anymore” “your teaching isn’t good enough” “you need to get your priorities in check” & “you can’t do it all”.... and I know this isn’t the case. I know this is my own self doubt, anxiety & stress. I know it isn’t personal. I know life right now is unpredictable & uncertain, and all we can do it’s take deeeeep breaths and take it one day at at time.

So where I’m at now: I’m organising my autumn schedule & searching for a indoor space to teach in, for some cozy weekly sessions through for the rest of the year! [all COVID pending of course] so watch this space🙏🏻

In the meantime, this weekend is looking warm + bright so I’d love to make the most of the sunshine and get a little group together for a Sunday morning session, in the park whilst I still can! DM me if you’d like to join, £5 for a 60min [socially distanced] vinyasa flow @ 9am. I am still a available for privates & semi-private/small-group bookings too✨

Hello Instagram!🦋
Just some little life updates for you...

I am so sad that recently the weather has been a little too unpredictable + I’ve had to cancel some outdoor park classes☹️

But as we move through the seasons and shift back into more “normal life” (if life before quarantine could be considered normal!?) I am hoping to soon have a indoor space + more stable schedule, yay!🤞🏻
In addition - my life is getting a whole lot busier soon! completing my 3rd year degree studies, working on an online internship, and starting a new job (exciting!) ...so my own practice will be needed as a priority for sure 😅

Therefore my teaching schedule from here on out I’ll share on a week-by-week & class-by-class basis... I am still always available for private’s & semi-private/small groups
(and willing to organise around your schedules & needs😌)

Can’t wait to see you all at classes soon when the sun comes out & looking forward to lots of exciting things to come... as always I’m so grateful for everyone’s support & presence at my classes!

Namaste! Sophie 💓

...back home again after a wonderful few weeks of camping-hiking-beachy adventure, and even though I’ve returned to so much busy, my time away out in nature has left me relaxed, refreshed + recharged.😌

But till then come and practice with me next week!

Namaste + see you soon, Sophie x

The 4am wake-up call was worth it for this view... (and to have this incredible place to ourselves!) so far this time I’ve spent out nature + wilderness has been everything I didn’t know I needed, and everything I wanted.
📍Sunrise hike up to Durdle Door, Dorset

In other news: I’m SO excited to share I am now a brand ambassador for Frankly Average Clothing 😍 this fabulous small biz is all about being fashionable, affordable AND inclusive to everybody + every body... hitting the mark with all 3 is something other bands fall short on. So far every piece of theirs I own has exceeded expectations, and I’m so pleased to be supporting a brand with an ethos that I really align with!😇

This week FranklyAverage launched their new seamless gymwear collection... in 3 different styles, 9 different colours, great quality fabrics that’s flattering on all body types, and being able to mix & match sizes... I REALLY struggled to to not just buy it all!😍
This set I’m wearing in this snap is the “MOVE” collection in teal and honestly I’m in love! It was a perfect fit for a chilly morning hike then some yoga on the beach.💓

Looking forwards to sharing some more photos of my travels on here soon, and some more gymwear recommendations when my big FranklyAverage order arrives!

Namaste! Sophie. x

Adventure day!
Currently en route to the sea💙

Did you manage to come along to class this week just gone and pick up a sun salutation guide sheet? If you give the flows a go at home whilst I’m away ~ let me know how you find it! 🥰 A regular home practice is challenging in its own way but can really make a difference to each day... to each week... to your whole mindset over time, both on and off the mat.🙏🏻

Although I’m out of town for a bit now, im hoping to still run some livestream sessions on here so keep your eyes peeled (or turn notification ON!) & I’ll be brainstorming some dates× on my stories soon 🤩

Namaste + have a wonderful week!

A little Sunday afternoon update for you all...
This coming week (July 20th-26th) will be your last chance to come along to a class in the park and practice with me for a little while, as I’ll be taking a short hiatus from in-person teaching.
The truth is, I’ve been craving ocean air, salt in my hair & sand between my toes for toooo long now. I’m basically a plant, wilting away without sunlight or water (but just with more complex emotions 😛).

So on Monday 27th, Dan and I are packing up the car with camping gear and taking a VERY safe & SUPER socially-distanced short trip to the coast... now that we finally feel comfortable and at ease with the lockdown/safety measures in place.

Although my in-person classes will temporarily be paused, I’m hoping to make up for it by putting on some extra live-streams from beautiful locations, so you can still get your yoga fix ~ so watch this space!🥰
(and don’t worry, my park classes will resume in August, I’ll update on when!)

In the meantime... make sure to book yourself in to a yoga class this week so I can see all your lovely faces before I pop off 🙏🏻

Plus, I’ll be sharing all the travel-ey stuff over on my insta if your interested in keeping up with my adventuring!😇

Namaste! Soph x
