Sofia Soori

Sofia Soori is a music student who fell in love with Ashtanga Vinyasa and went to India to deepen her practice. She has practiced yoga from the age of 13 and has tried many different types of yoga. She went through Bikram Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Hatha Yoga before falling for Ashtanga Vinyasa. After graduating, Sofia bought a one-way ticket to India and a few months later did her first yoga teacher training. She has studied under K. Sharath Jois, grandchild of Ashtanga Vinyasa founder Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, at the Shri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore.


Since then, Sofia has been back to India to study with Sharath Jois three times. Furthermore, she has built her own YogaShala at Blidö with her mother Päivi Seppä. At this YogaShala, Sofia hosts yoga retreats. Sofia believes that a great yoga instructor will always remain a student. In her classes, she mixes postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayamas) and meditation. Whether restorative or dynamic, her classes always have a well thought-through purpose and set-up. When not teaching yoga, Sofia enjoys surfing and climbing.

Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is a type of meditation where you lie down comfortably, preferably with some pillows and blankets. The purpose of this practice is to relax deeply, both mentally and physically. While lying down, listen to the voice guiding you through the body. Keep your mind awake and let the body fall into deep relaxation.

This meditation is a good one to add to your daily asana practice, or to finish the day with to calm the mind before bedtime. Relax with awareness and let the body and the mind relax.
