Manage Your Moods with LifeForce Yoga®: A compassionate guide for dealing  with anxiety and depression.

LifeForce Yoga is a practice that is intentionally designed to help with mood management through breath work, sound, simple postures, and meditation techniques. In this 5 week series you will learn practices to energize and reduce feelings of depression and to calm and reduce feelings of anxiety.

LifeForce Yoga is a practice of compassion. It helps us to become less ‘stuck’ in our moods and to cultivate a greater sense of self awareness and self acceptance. Through these simple yet profound techniques we will work to create the space within to feel our essence of connection and wholeness.  LifeForce Yoga is adapted to the student, so each individual can move into a balanced emotional, mental, and physical state of equanimity and well being.  This practice is perfect for beginners and for those who have done Yoga before.

Sofi is an advanced certified Jivamukti Yoga Instructor and a level 1 certified LifeForce Yoga® practitoner. She was first given permission to teach in 1997 by Alan Finger in the tradition of Ishta Yoga, and soon after found her foremost teachers David Life and Sharon Gannon, co- founders of Jivamukti Yoga. Along with David and Sharon, Sofi sites Seane Corn as one of her main inspirations and is an active member of the Off The Mat, Into The World community.

Sofi is also the co-founder and director of The Vermont Community Yoga Project, and the Laughing River Yoga studio in Burlington Vermont.

" The underlying theme in all my classes is devotion. I believe that the amount of happiness and freedom we experience in our lives is deeply linked to our ability to dedicate ourselves to something greater then our own personal gain. Through devotion we are able to reconnect with the Infinite wisdom that dwells within the heart of each one of us."

In her classes, workshops and retreats, Sofi combines a deep understanding of sacred Yoga texts with creative asana sequencing, chanting, music and meditation to provide students with an enriching and heart-opening experience. Her goal is to clearly communicate the traditional ancient teachings of Yoga in a way that will assist students to understand and reflect upon them so that they can be used to enrich their daily lives and lead them to their True Nature of Oneness.

Sofi lives in Burlington, Vermont with her husband, daughter, son, and poodle.

Sofi teaches Yoga at her studio, Laughing River Yoga, in Burlington Vermont and travels nationally and internationally on a regular basis to teach workshops.
