Welcome to Boost Yoga

Welcome to Boost Yoga!

I'm Sophie the founder of Boost Yoga and my aim is to create a community of parents, carers and educators, where we can share best practices regarding our children's health and wellbeing.

I am a qualified children's yoga and mindfulness practitioner and I am passionate about bringing children together to develop a healthy sense of self and learn strategies for emotional regulation, all whilst having fun too!

I have a degree in Health Psychology BSc, and graduated with my dissertation looking into ASD and the diagnostic and aftercare system. I continued to be interested in neurodiversity and worked as a support teacher for SEN students up until I had my children, where my love of yoga flourished and I decided to retrain as a children's yoga and mindfulness practitioner. 

I am a single mum of two children, (2 and 4 years) and through this journey have realised the importance of building a support network and finding techniques that really work for regulating both parent and child, focusing on connection and understanding, and now would love to share these practices with the wider community. 

I work under an enhanced DBS, Public Liability Insurance and Teaching Cert. 

Some of the benefits of Yoga and Mindfulness to children and young people

  • Creates space between impulse and action

  • Encourages self exploration, understanding and confidence

  • Increases focus, memory and problem solving

  • Benefits to physical health and stress management

  • Reduces anxiety, stress and anger

  • Improves self esteem, body confidence and self regulation

  • Breathwork is a great tool to calm or energise and plays an important role in engaging the parasympathetic nervous system
