Teacher Details

Sophie Ferrentino was born and raised in England and spent many years travelling the world as a professional Jazz dancer. Having pushed her body to the limits and beyond she turned to yoga, at the advice of her osteopath, to help heal her dancing injuries. Starting out with Bikram yoga, intense hot power yoga, she was instantly hooked. There was certainly a physical transformation very quickly - the long term lower back and hip problems faded away in a short period, but more than that, the mental clarity and focus that came along with the practice was the unexpected bonus. Having practiced Bikram for four years and retired from her professional dancing career, Sophie embarked on a Hatha yoga teacher training course. She spent four months in Morocco and subsequently in England studying yoga philosophy and ethics, meditation, breathwork, anatomy and physiology, sequencing and postural alignment. Sophie became a graduate of the UK based registered yoga school, YogaHaven in January 2010. Over the last eighteen months, Sophie has studied many types of yoga including Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Scaravelli and Kundalini and through yoga she has learned to let go and trust in her mind, her body and her heart. Yoga has enriched all aspects of Sophie’s life and she is thrilled to be able to share her knowledge and experience of this incredible discipline.
