She was originally a modern dancer, and received a BFA in Modern Dance from the University of Utah. After moving to New York City, she found that the rigors of the dancing lifestyle were not conducive to a healthy mind or body. When a yoga instructor asked her to "do less" in class one day, it became clear that she had been doing so much, too much, for quite some time. She began to find flexibility within softness, and strength within ease. Sofia conveys the beauty of "doing less" in her classes, encouraging students to practice non-harm towards themselves, and creating an environment that supports self-confidence, humor, and community.
