Sophie Meredith Yoga And Meditation

Restorative Yoga and Mindfulness Programs for stress-reduction and the healing & management of Chronic Conditions

Based in Bathurst, NSW, Sophie Meredith teaches a gentle and restorative kind of yoga to alleviate stress, injury and chronic conditions. Sophie was certified in 2008 by world-renowned Master, Nicky Knoff (herself a former student of both BKS Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois. ) Sophie has also been trained and certified by the wonderful Judith Hanson Lasater who has popularised Restorative Yoga internationally. Both Nicky and Judith were early disciples of the late B. K. S. Iyengar.

Sophie has also benefitted from the teachings of the late S. N. Goenka in Vipassana Meditation. She was also instructed in the Maharishi Transcendental Meditation Technique in 2007.

Sophie incorporates what she has learned from these great teachers as well as her own direct learnings in her restorative programmes, incorporating visiualisation and sequences designed for stress reduction and improvement and healing of those with Chronic Illnesses such as CFS /ME / CFIDS and Fibromyalgia, MS, Cancer, arthritis, High Blood Pressure, Anxiety, Adrenal Fatigue and Thyroid Conditions.

Sophie believes in sharing a setting where each individual can take space to give themselves focused attention and maximise their own potential for healing; there is no 'body' who can heal you better than your own.

The postures, sequences and meditations that Sophie uses are designed to help free the body of toxins, enhance the lymphatic and therefore, immune system, balance PH levels, calm and restore the nervous system, restore balance and reduce stress and keep the body conditioned WITHOUT over exertion and whilst remaining with people's energy envelopes.
