Teaches: Yoga and Mat Pilates

Ruth first trained in classical mat Pilates 16 years ago, before becoming a yoga teacher five years ago. With a long-standing love of movement in all its forms, her teaching blends familiar yoga poses and Pilates principles with creativity, music and a more intuitive approach.

Rather than focusing on getting every position “right”, Ruth encourages you to explore how movement feels in your own body. Expect recognisable foundations, woven together in sometimes unexpected ways, with space to move, breathe and find your own rhythm.

Sophie’s love for movement began when she was studying contemporary dance 20 years ago. Wanting to explore a more spiritual pathway alongside dancing she discovered hatha yoga. 

Sophie immediately fell in love with yoga, exploring different styles, but eventually found Vinyasa Yoga was the style that really aligned with her. The freedom of movement, the fluidity of the postures combined with breath creates a dance-like meditation which she loves! 

Sophie’s classes are dynamic and focus on building strength and flexibility. The fluid pace encourages you to listen your body’s physical feedback, take modifications that suit your day, and let your inhales and exhales guide the pace and depth of every movement.
