Soph West (they/them) is a Hatha yoga teacher who is creating space free from judgement where we can meet ourselves where we are and move our bodies for the joy of it. Most of their career until this point has been working with children and young people in a variety of settings and countries. They currently work with autistic teenagers alongside teaching yoga. They are excited about creating a welcoming space for people to get curious about their connection to their breath and their bodies. For them practicing yoga feels like a homecoming and if they help anyone to feel home in their bodies too, then that is a beautiful thing.

A strong yet steady vinyasa flow practice, infused with ashtanga elements. This hour on the mat combines mindful movement, breath-led flow and grounding transitions. An invitation to build strength, create space and leave feeling energised yet centred and connected.

I’m passionate about supporting children’s wellbeing through yoga and mindfulness. When I was younger, I sometimes found it hard to manage my emotions and feel calm, especially at school. Discovering yoga and mindfulness really helped me find balance, confidence, and peace within myself. Now, I love sharing these practices with children in a fun and nurturing way — through movement, breath, stillness, and imagination. My sessions are all about helping children feel grounded, connected, and confident, while learning simple tools they can use in everyday life.

I’ve been practicing yoga for over 10 years and studying at Yogasara, Bristol since 2022, about to complete the advanced training in early 2026. I’ve taught at Bristol University, Yogasara, online and in person at yoga studios and in Greece. I’ve undertaken many trainings in trauma and have a trauma- informed approach to teaching yoga. I’ve also undertaken significant study into transpersonal theory: spirituality, psychology and Non-Violent Communication. I practise meditation daily under Will Evans, who takes a, Advaita Vedanta, Non- dual Shaiva Tantra and Buddhist non- dual approaches.  The Yogasara method that I studied under comprises asana (posture) practice in a Krama Vinyasana style (krama meaning step-by-step and Vinyasa being a flow state within postural practice), as well as the other integral aspects of yoga and ritual: meditation, breathwork, study of Western and Eastern philosophy, mantra, conscious dance, science (anatomy, neuroscience, Myofascial Integration), emotional integration and awareness of wider ecological and social issues, with a personal interest/ specialization in gender and LGBTQ+ issues.

*please book your class with Sophie through her bookings page* Hi there! I’m Sophie - a Yin and Barre teacher, fragrance specialist and founder of PARE Studio, where my work in scent and wellbeing come together. Before moving to Bristol several years ago and embarking on sharing my love of Yin Yoga, I worked in the fragrance industry in London. The desire to blend these two worlds inspired me to create PARE Studio: a sensory space through which I share embodied practices, scent workshops and immersive experiences in Bristol and beyond. At the heart of my work is a fascination with who we are beneath the layers of conditioning, daily demands and roles we accumulate throughout our lives. So much of what makes up our essential selves can become difficult to access under all the hats we wear and the obligations we carry. For me, movement, stillness and scent can all offer a way back in; opportunities to slow down, turn our attention inwards and reconnect with the deeper parts of ourselves. My signature offering, Ritual to Rest, brings these elements together through scent, Yin and guided rest. It’s the fullest expression of what PARE Studio is all about: paring back the excess to reveal our essence.
