Our why

Born to remove barriers to yoga and self-development, by bringing quality classes and coaching to community doorsteps. Each session is eye-opening and cup-filling, creating a space where everyone has fun being with us, and leaves feeling better than when they started.

Modern wellness

Improving your mental and physical wellbeing

We want everyone who interacts with Being to come ALIVE - deeply loving their lives and the bodies they live in. Our yoga and coaching sessions are designed to not just be a break from the hustle, but a rejuvenating part of your journey towards a more vibrant and fulfilling life.

WE make it easier for you to take care of yourself by:

Bringing yoga & coaching closer to home ✦ Challenging you to grow mentally & physically ✦ Embracing you as you are ✦ Creating ‘treat-like’ environments that inspire

Meet Sophie, your yoga teacher and life coach

After spending a decade in the corporate world, Sophie launched Being Yoga in 2020,curating distinctive mindfulness and yoga encounters across Tāmaki Makaurau for fringe communities and corporates. She has nearly 300 hrs of yoga teacher training under her belt and is also a trained Mindfulness Facilitator and Holistic Life Coach, learning more each day through Yale University courses like The Science of Happiness and Health Behaviour Change, and launching the Being Coaching branch of my brand in 2024. 

Why life coaching? 

For years I struggled to do it all, eventually finding myself in a place of crippling anxiety, fatigue, and panic attacks. I had lost my spark. My zest. My joy in the big things and the little ones.

With the help of some treatment, a life coach, and an immersive 6-month yoga teacher training, things really started to change. For the first time in years I felt connected to myself again.

I knew that there would be hundreds of women out there like me, struggling to make any permanent changes on their own. Now, I combine my lessons on-and-off the mat to help women transition from where they are, to where they want to be.
