ABOUT YOUR TEACHER

SOPHIE BOWLES
200 hours yoga training programme: Hatha, Flow & Ashtanga.
​
Sophie is a seasoned runner, her favourite distance race is a half marathon, however she has experience running marathons and ultras too. She is a community leader of PureSport East, a large running club which runs twice a week from London Fields, and hosts her own run club NARC (Not Another Run Club) on the last Sunday of every month in Wapping. She also runs track with the Victoria Park Harriers every Tuesday.
Sophie has turned to yoga after a number of pretty serious injuries, to maintain mental and physical fitness, whilst not being able to run. She decided to train as a yoga teacher at an Ashram in India, to not only develop her own practice but with the intention of helping other runners improve their mobility, flexibility, strength, and even breathing technique - but also help runners work on slowing down, which we know how hard that can be!
EXPERIENCE CLASSES AT LDN
At LDN PHYSIO, our mission has always been to empower our patients and clients to reach their full potential—physically and mentally—through grounded, evidence-based health, fitness, and sport expertise.
​
We’re excited to announce the launch of CLASSES @ LDN , designed to seamlessly integrate into your health and wellness journey. Over the past few months, we've thoughtfully developed 3 curated classes, with the same commitment to quality and care as our one-on-one services, which we'll introduce over the remainder of the year.
​
Our instructors have been selected carefully, not only for their experience but also as they understand the unique needs of those recovering from injuries, many having been on their own healing journeys. With the guidance and support of our clinical team, they’ll ensure each session is both safe and effective, allowing you to enjoy the full benefits of yoga with confidence.
