I started yoga to increase my flexibility and range of motion in joints.  Before starting yoga [classes] with Sofia, knee surgery was only a short time away.  I was unable to bend into a squat or even perform a simple runner’s lunge.  After three years with Sofia, I can do a full squat (with zero knee pain), transition into crow pose then shoot my legs back into a plank position.  Now that was the physical side of yoga.  With Sofia’s guidance I am mentally in check, positive, and at calm with myself and my practice.

Sofia can balance a class so that it’s not boring for experienced practitioners or too challenging for someone just starting.  It’s rare to find a teacher who genuinely cares about you as much as what they are teaching.  Thank you, Sofia!

Yogis sometimes forget that yoga practice is not just about the amount of sweat that drips onto their mats. Sofia’s style of teaching reminds her students of the depth and dimension yoga has to offer. She will make her students sweat but she will also make them flow correctly. The precision of movement and posture, the power of breath, and intense focus are all variables that Sofia instills in her students. You walk away from one of her classes having discovered something new about your practice and, in turn, something new about the way your body works.
