About Sophie Jay Yoga + Wellness
After taking the jump to move to the United States in 2015, I immersed myself in the yoga culture and lifestyle that I was surrounded by in Charlotte NC, which made me fall even more in love with the practice. When the perfect opportunity presented itself, I followed my passion and completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training at Okra, an award-winning studio in cozy Plaza-Midwood, in early 2016.
I offer beginner friendly and mixed-level classes, in a variety of styles, such as Vinyasa flow (combining breath and movement), Yin/yang Yoga, & Deep Stretch.
A well-rounded yoga class is composed of flowing through the physical poses (Asanas), practicing yogic breathing (Pranayama), opening with meditation, and closing class with relaxation. (Yoga Nidra & Shavasana).
My classes include a combination of both playfulness and self-expression, as well as holding sacred space through music, intentions, and themes woven throughout.
I aim to create a healthy balance in my classes, by both harnessing intuitive energy for a physical workout, as well as creating deep relaxation and bliss…
This practice is available and accessible to all, with each pose being an invitation…
to a healthier & happier mind, body and soul!
I can be reached at sophiejaywellness@hotmail.com for further information and enquiries.
I am a registered 200hr yoga instructor, licensed with the Yoga Alliance, and insured through Yoga Journal.
