Sofia Panas is a certified somatic coach, yoga, yoga nidra & iRest teacher and appreciator of deep connected rest. After 12 years of practice (living in traditional ashrams and practicing in studios) and 8 years teaching, Sofia works with various tools including yoga asana, pranayama and yoga nidra.
Combining these approaches helps her clients (and herself!) navigate their nervous system (stress response) and connect to their body, so they can finally feel worthy of rest and relaxation.
She is deeply passionate about deconstructing toxic productivity mindset!! This means exploring our need to be ‘doing’ something always, and normalising rest and self care (and community care) as every day (not indulgent) human needs. Aside from that she loves travelling, exploring new places and of course her three cute cats (one of whom she picked up in Greece after a retreat!)
Dynamic Vinyasa
Build strength, flexibility and cultivate a steady mind with our dynamic vinyasa classes. Moving to the rhythm of our breath, these practices will leave you feeling energised, focused and connected to your body.
Slow Flow
Our slow flow practices are focused on down regulating the nervous system, creating a feeling of calm in the body and mind. We'll hold poses a little longer, creating a different kind of challenge, a big stretch and ultimately leaving you feeling very relaxed.
Yoga Nidra
A deeply powerful guided meditation practice. Also known as 'yogic sleep'. We'll work together to create your own intentions to use during the meditation.
Pranayama
Pranayama includes breath work or energy practices. We'll work with specific pranayama, controlling the breath to create altered energetic states.
