WELCOME

Thank you so much for visiting this space, and WELCOME! I am a Yoga teacher and practitioner in the Hudson Valley.  Like many, was initially drawn to the physical postures of Yoga, the Asanas, which provided a welcoming gateway to better understand the all-encompassing nature of Yoga.

 

I am endlessly grateful to all who have mentored, inspired, and informed my current practice. I feel genuine excitement to continue exploring and sharing this ancient universal discipline as a means of connection and understanding. When teaching, I strive to support the experience of each student in navigating both movement and stillness through playful, thoughtful, breath-oriented classes for all levels.

 

I can attest to the unifying nature of Yoga, having taught numerous styles to a wide range of people in a variety of settings. I am passionate about social justice in the yoga community and beyond, and I currently work full time as a social worker. For resources and more on the subject of social justice in Yoga, visit the Antiracism and Appropriation tab.

 

Take a look at my virtual schedule to hop on a live group call. If you are looking for guided movement and meditation for various lengths of time on your schedule, subscribe to the virtual library! If you'd like more personal support or are searching for a clutterless, invaluable gift of connecting to oneself for the holiday season, book a private!

 

Quick update: you might notice inconsistencies in my name! I have reestablished my birth name, Sofia Mahmood. Feel free to check out this post for a little more information on that!

Whatever your goals, ideas, or experiences, I would be thrilled to assist in all aspects of your journey of the self, through the self, to the self (-Bhagavad Gita 6.20)!
