SOPHIE GEORGE

My name is Sophie. I'm the owner of and teacher at Firefly Yoga. I took up Hot Yoga while at university and absolutely fell in love with yoga.

My My Level 3 Yoga Diploma included the following modules:

I also attended a series of practical days covering the following topics:

I also attended several training days where we trained and practised teaching in the heat with the added challenges that it brings.

Teaching

I started teaching in June of 2017 in a number of different venues whilst working on getting my own yoga studio up and running.

Firefly Yoga officially opening in November 2017.

Yoga is both my hobby and my job. I believe with the right modifications yoga is and can be accessible to everyone!
