Hello! I’m Sophie, the owner and your teacher at Mind and Movement Yoga.

Yoga and meditation classes are situated at Hiltingbury Sports in Chandler’s Ford, Eastleigh. Classes are shared with a background and emphasis on moving with dynamic alignment. This beautiful yet challenging practice helps to align and bring harmony in our mental, physical, and emotional states. In balancing these states, we create an embodied resilience for life.

A dynamic aligned yoga practice builds a foundation of stability, and mind to body co-ordination. From which to safely strengthen, and move with mindful awareness to release tension, improve flexibility, mobility and balance. This helps to both prevent injury, and aid in recovery. The practice promotes a resilient, calm, and positive mindset in managing stress. These are just some of the benefits that will empower your everyday life, and help to slow down the decline from aging. An aligned practice complements as effective cross training for the gym, and also enhances athletic performance and longevity in sport.
