Owner and operated by single mom Sophia, this certified yoga teacher, a warrior at heart with a quiet force that believes in the true nature of karma yoga with a focus on community and empowering women from a place of pure kindness.
This is where Karma and Kindness merge in her free programming to the community led by the grads of 200HR yoga teacher training.
With a strong focus on alignment based principles continues her wellness journey in foundations of Ayurveda and Siddha Marma (traditional acupressure points) she developed a program that shares modern approaches while maintaining the integrity of traditional yoga practices allowing each student to teach, live and practice from a place authenticity and relevance. With so many trainings out there and little opportunity to thrive as new teachers, Sophia recognized this and created a post graduate program to create opportunities for new teachers to teach to the community. Offering free virtual classes to give students the opportunity to teach and to offer classes to the community was a win - win for everyone and feel good project to fill everyone's hearts.
