ABOUT FIREFLY YOGA

SOPHIE GEORGE

Certified Yoga Teacher, Founder

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

Training

During my final year of university I completed my Level 3 Yoga Diploma, Hot Yoga Certificate and Freestyle Fitness Yoga Certificate. I trained with Group X Training.

My My Level 3 Yoga Diploma included the following modules:

• Underpinning the principles of teaching yoga

• Health and safety for yoga

• Anatomy and physiology for yoga (Level 2)

• Planning a series of yoga sessions

• Teaching a yoga session (practical assessment)

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

• Yoga posture clinic

• Learning to teach yoga

• Breathing, bandhas, mudras and meditation

• Freestyle Fitness Yoga (separate practical qualification)

​

My Hot Yoga Certificate included the following modules:

• Anatomy and physiology for yoga (Level 3)

• Health and safety for Hot Yoga

• Hot Yoga assessment

​

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 studio officially opening in November 2017 and closed in September 2021. 

​

Following the closure of my bricks and motor studio I continued to teach online and in the community. I also began offering public and private yoga retreats and yoga parties. 

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