As you know, Sophie moved across the country to an area where everything was brand-new to her. No established friends, connections, or even knowing the city,

One thing she found was that a move like that offers a chance for a new beginning.

It is easy to fall into old habits and establish what we had before.

But it is a great opportunity to sit back for a bit and think about what one really wants to do.

The world of Yoga has grown dramatically in the US and has developed in different directions.

For many, Yoga is a physical exercise - nothing more. Others only practice the meditation aspect.

Sophie is in-between.

Sophie likes to teach Hatha Yoga - each pose is held for 30 seconds or a minute. The important part is to be aware of the breath (prana).

She started teaching in a new studio - every teacher is new to that particular place. She found that she felt very comfortable with all her co-workers and attributes that to the fact that they all are starting together, eager to build community.
