It was amazing to speak to the lovely Sophie Dear (all the way from Bali!) about the healing power of yoga and how it can help us build balance in our lives.

Before beginning her yoga journey, Sophie worked in TV as an assistant director, which, despite being an adventurous and exciting career, did not provide balance and instead led to challenges such as anxiety, stress and insomnia.

It was this lack of balance that influenced Sophie to reconsider her path, and re-align with what allowed her to feel fulfilled. This is where Sophie discovered and fell in love with the empowering practice of yoga and the associated holistic benefits found when we connect to our breath, still the mind and move the body.

We address Sophie's transition from student to teacher, in which she completed her RYT in Sydney and endured an experience of deep self exploration and growth, before exploring how lockdown affected Sophie personally and professionally in terms of her adaption to living in Bali and the birth of her subscription channel.

Throughout the episode we also investigate the incredible potential of meditation as a preventative medicine, having compassion for ourselves and others, living in the present, and working to become an observer of our thoughts.

Sophie has so many exciting future plans laid out ahead, and I have linked below where you can find her to look further!

I could not agree more with Sophie that yoga is a tool for leading a better life, and that it is joy to be able to teach a practice which improves the lives of those around us. We really hope you enjoy this episode!
