Important Considerations...
Group Somatic Coaching can be a wonderful place for connection, guidance and accountability with setting goals and moving forward in your life, perhaps following on from, or alongside other types of therapy, counselling and mental health support.
This is programme is not a Therapy or Counselling based offering and I'm not a trained mental health professional. If you require mental health support, please visit the resources link above.
This programme includes explorations into our inner parts (IFS), that can show up as shame, self-doubt and low self-worth, along with their connection to the inner child.
Inner Parts work can be challenging and confronting, as can other Somatic practices that invite you to listen inward, so it is important to acknowledge up front whether you feel ready to greet these parts and take that deeper dive.
This programme aims to be trauma-sensitive and there will be lots of preparation work around connecting with and returning to safety.
You will be encouraged throughout to do what feel right for you and to honour your own needs in the most effective and supportive way possible.
Inclusivity <3
However you choose to identify, if you feel safe enough to join us, you are most welcome to.
I am committed to providing welcoming and trauma-sensitive spaces to anyone who experiences marginalisation, due to any aspect of their identity, background or culture, including the disabled community and the LGBTQIA+ community.
Please note; The content of this programme is not structured around women's topics specifically, however discussions around hormones, menstrual cycles and living in alignment with your Inner Seasons, may come up as this can directly impact our approach to joy.
This plays an important role in my life as a woman, and I may choose to share my experiences to support others, as well as others sharing their experiences.
You can take what resonates, and leave what doesn't!
If you feel that you'd benefit from 1-1 Somatic Coaching instead, where you have my full attention and support, please email me at sophiereyyoga@outlook.com.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Sophie (she/her) and
I'm a sensitive, creative Soul who aims to provide safe, encouraging and inclusive spaces for adults to explore their creativity, discover the importance that experiencing play and joy has on our nervous system and how it can support our healing and connection to our inner essence and sense of purpose.
I've been practicing Yoga for 12 years and teaching for 6 and I’ve always been aware of the uniqueness and individuality of people and their bodies, and I love exploring ways to ensure everyone is included and not feeling like they 'shouldn't be there'. I’ve been learning, practicing and incorporating Somatic practices into my own life and guiding with a Somatic approach since 2020, especially to those who have experienced physical, mental and emotional health conditions.
I’ve been working with clients in a Somatic Coaching capacity for the last 6 months, after completing my Trauma-informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women training. For this programme, I'm bringing together all the skills I've learnt as a Yoga Teacher & Somatic Coach, alongside my life long passion for art, creativity and embracing playfulness. I've been holding group workshops and day retreats based around supporting adults to explore their creative self-expression and find a deep inner trust for 4 years and I'm so excited to dive a little deeper into this with everything I've learnt and love!
This programme is a recognition of my own struggles and experiences with low self-worth, body image issues, eating disorders and low confidence, now realising that my sensitive nature needs something a little different to what society tells us we need.
I’ve been using Yoga, Somatic practices and Art to support my own healing and I feel so ready and excited to share this at a level that feels comfortable and safe enough for me.
I'm looking forward to guiding you through this journey with an open mind
and a curious heart.
Why Am I Offering This Programme?
This feels very close to my heart, and is something I've been thinking up for a few years now.
Post-pandemic, I was feeling lost, burnt out and disconnected from what I needed and how to support myself through big life challenges (like trying to keep my business going during a pandemic).
Being in the 'Yoga world' had also impacted me.
I'd lost my confidence, my spark, what made me 'me' and what made me fall in love with Yoga in the first place. I was essentially trying to dilute myself.
I started working with my business coach at the end of 2022, who focuses on a Holistic & Somatic approach, and this is what started to change everything for me! My first step was getting back to myself; through a regular daily practice of connecting with safety, stability & actually understanding my nervous system & how important it is, working on my mindset, making sure I was resting, getting outside, painting and readjusting my pricing so that I wasn't constantly working for free or super cheap.
I needed to take care of my own basic needs (including financial) so that I could be grounded and resilient enough to show up for my clients. I was setting boundaries, I was being honest with myself and I was
feeling empowered to reclaim my joy! Over time, the spark came back!
This work is a real lesson in the true humanness of who we are and the amazing way our bodies try to support us from getting hurt. We aren't broken, we are simply trying to survive.
What I would love for you, is for you to get to know yourself so deeply that you feel confident in who you are and you trust wholeheartedly what you need and deserve in this life. It's not selfish to want to experience pleasure, joy and creativity on a daily basis, but how do we keep hold of that essence when we are stressed, overworked, anxious or pleasing others.
Being able to support you with living a life where you aren't ruled by self-limiting beliefs and behaviours that were created to help you survive, but can learn to feel safe enough to listen inwards, in order to prioritise and nurture your overall health and creativity, is something I am incredibly passionate about.
Let's do this together, and in a small group of likeminded people,
explore what's possible for each of us!
I hope to help you embrace the imperfect canvas of life with radical self-compassion and inner joy!
