“Sossi is very authentic and knowledgeable about yoga teaching. I particularly enjoy her powerful flows and of course the guided relaxation at the end. She has a warm and lovely personality and I always gain loads of energy for the week after her class. Highly recommend her introduction to yoga course I attended.” Zee (Bath, 2024)
“Thank you Sossi. I’m thoroughly enjoying practicing yoga with you and coming to your classes Wednesday/ Sundays for quite a while now. I would just like to say to anyone beginner or established looking for a yoga class teaching and practicing yoga beautifully visit Sossi’s classes. 4 sessions into your 6 week immersion in yoga course looking at the 8 limbs of ashtanga yoga it’s fascinating and giving me a lot to think about.” Andy (Bath, 2024)
“Excellent sessions with Sossi. Loving the humming sessions and stretching. Feeling so much better after our classes and really helping pelvic floor muscles.” Jayne (Bath, 2024)
“Being new to yoga I had no idea what to expect when a friend recommended a class with Sossi, but the class itself has exceeded any expectations. Sossi has created a friendly welcoming class where you quickly go from beginner to being able to try out things you didn’t think would be possible in a safe and structured way.” Lee (Bath, 2024)
“As a complete yoga newbie, I was nervous about trying prenatal yoga but Sossi has created a warm and welcoming environment that is perfect for expectant mums of all experience levels. The classes have helped me to stay flexible, manage aches and pains, and reduce stress. Would highly recommend.” Esther (Bath, 2024)
“Sossi is a really great teacher. She provides all the equipment you need, and is really thoughtful. I feel calm and relaxed at the lessons. Thanks Sossi for your breathing techniques and your passion in your lessons.” Marivi (Bath, 2024)
“Sossi’s class has helped me keep my mind and body strong through pregnancy and it’s great that it is tailored for our bodies. The breathing in particular has been really great help. It’s an absolute pleasure to be part of her class and I hope to continue her yoga classes after the birth.” Alex (Bath, 2024)
“Sossi’s classes are a wonderful mix of breathing exercises, yoga asanas and relaxation. The classes are really varied, and she caters to every level of experience. Sossi has such a lovely spirit and energy, she’s an extremely experienced teacher and her classes are welcoming and fun. I’ve also been to her Mindfulness classes and would highly recommend them too! Thank you so much Sossi.” Sally (Bath, 2024)
“Have absolutely loved the pregnancy yoga course with Sossi. Unlike some other prenatal classes, this feels like proper yoga, like you are actually getting a proper yoga session in and I always feel amazing after. And the music is amazingly relaxing throughout, very zen. Will definitely be signing up for another course, before baby arrives! Thank you Sossi!” Holly (Bath, 2024)
“Yoga classes with Sossi are unlike any others in Bath, the physical and mental benefits I have received from her classes are undeniable. As a professionally trained dancer and qualified yoga teacher myself, I recognise Sossi’s care & skill in teaching to mixed abilities. My confidence and flexibility have improved rapidly in the last 4 months of taking class with Sossi after a hiatus from yoga practice. Thank you Sossi!” Josie (Bath, 2023)
“I was persuaded 6 months ago to give yoga a go by my girlfriend, as a fifty plus man I’d had zero experience of yoga before then, at the time of starting I had all sorts injury niggles I’d accumulated through the years, (back, shoulder etc etc) somewhat incredibly since starting Sossi’s class ( I go 3 times a week) they’ve all but gone, apart from the physical improvements the most noticeable difference is the improvement in my mental stability, as a single dad of six kids I’ve since realized I’d never really had the tools to give myself ‘mental space’ the improvement in my ability to deal with the everyday trials and tribulations of family life have been life changing. Thank you so much Sossi, looking forward to 2024.” John (Bath, 2023)
“I’ve been attending Sossi’s yoga classes in Bath for six months, three times a week and really love them! Each class is different (vinyasa and yin) and each time I come away feeling calm and relaxed. I always look forward to Sossi’s yoga sessions. Thank you!” Elizabeth (Bath, 2023)
“I regularly attend Sossi’s class at Bath Uni, which is very enjoyable. Good variety of poses, relaxation and music. Thank you, Sossi!” Emmalou (Bath, 2023)
“I feel incredibly fortunate to have Sossi as my yoga teacher. Sossi’s passion for yoga is truly contagious, and it has transformed my yoga practice in the most uplifting way. Sossi brings a perfect blend of expertise, warmth, and encouragement to every session. Her deep knowledge of yoga philosophy and anatomy is evident in the way that guides us through each pose, making the practice not only physically rewarding but also mentally enriching. Sossi’s classes are more than just a workout; they are a journey of self-discovery and well-being. Her positive energy and genuine commitment to her students make every class a joy to attend. I leave each session feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and more connected to my body and mind. If you’re looking for a yoga class who not only knows their craft exceptionally well but also cares deeply about your personal growth, Sossi is the one. Thank you, Sossi, for being a guiding light on my yoga journey.” Renee (Bath, 2023)
“I have been attending Sossi’s yoga classes twice a week in Bath for about 8 months and I can truly say that they have changed my life! her classes are the best part of my week. and I feel amazing afterwards. Not only do I feel healthier in both body and mind, but I feel and dare I say, look younger. I look forward to many years of Sossi’s yoga. Thank you Sossi!” Sian (Bath, 2023)
“I’ve been attending Sossi’s yoga classes every weekend and they are the highlight of my week! The Vinyasa classes leave me feeling energized, while the Yin sessions help me enter a deep state of relaxation. It’s a great practice to ease my shoulder pain. Would highly recommend!” Mayya (Bath, 2023)
“I’ve been going to classes with Sossi at bath for quite some time on Wednesdays and Sundays your depth of knowledge how you teach and the lovely atmosphere in your yoga classes are wonderful. I’ve practiced yoga for a long time in many places to have found and practice yoga with you Sossi is wonderful. Thank you so much.” Andy (Bath, 2023)
“Blissfully relaxing and engaging yoga session on the beach to the sound of lapping waves. I really immersed myself in the practice and and was able to really let go while directed by Sossi’s instruction during the class. Just lovely!” Clare (Weston-super-mare, 2023)
“A whole hour of stilling myself with a group of curious individuals is to be treasured in these busy distracting times.” Review from a participant at our weekly group meditation class (Bath, 2023)
“I attend Sossi’s yin yoga class and out of various classes I go to in the course of a week along with drugs for my inflammatory arthritis, I can honestly say nothing calms my inflammation down (visibly on hands and feet) like that 1 hour class on Sunday mornings. It amazes me every time.” Tracey (Bath, 2023)
“This was the second afternoon workshop that I did with Sossi, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. The venue is ideal, and the room was set up in a way that created a welcoming and tranquil atmosphere. I appreciate the way in which Sossi is able to share her knowledge about the more philosophical aspects of yoga in a very clear and encouraging way. The workshop had an excellent balance of listening, doing and thinking, and Sossi made it feel personal to participants with different levels of yoga practice. Afterwards I left feeling energised and refreshed. The event was extremely well organised, and the follow-up websites are also useful and interesting.” Judy (Bath, 2023)
“I recently booked with Sossi for a family class, five members with very different yoga practice, from complete beginners to somehow regular practitioners. As we entered the amazing venue she had reserved, a beautiful warm room in wood and stone, we found all setup: mats, blocks, candles, music… The class was adapted to the feelings and disposition of everyone, challenging, fun and constructive with precise personal instructions when required. In the end, after what seemed a winkle of an eye, expectations were greatly surpassed and all of us are just willing for the next one.” Jesus Maria (Bath, 2023)
“Sossi is just the best. I spent the last year or so attending her vinyasa/yin classes at my local gym and I’d never stuck to yoga until being taught by her. Her teaching style is laid back but thorough and I feel I made so much progress with my flexibility, strength and confidence as a result. Sadly I’ve moved and will no longer be able to attend Sossi’s classes. Thank you again!” Kate (Bath, 2023)
“I have attended 2 classes with Sossi. Both classes were very enjoyable with lovely stretches that have helped with my back pain. I would recommend Sossi’s classes.” Jane (Bath, 2023)
“I just wanted to tell you that your way to teach is what I expect for a yoga class, and that’s a rare and happy coincidence 🙂 Thank you!” Jesus Maria (Bath 2023)
“A really lovely and relaxing Sunday afternoon workshop, which I highly recommend. The session was extremely well organised with all equipment and refreshments provided in a beautiful venue. It gave an insight into both Yin and Vinyasa Yoga, as well as the philosophy behind it, which has inspired me to want to learn more. Sossi is very professional and knowledgeable and I love her classes.” Lynne (Bath, 2023)
“I really enjoyed and learnt a lot from Sossi’s 2.5hr workshop. The session had an excellent balance of yoga philosophy and practice. It was very well organized and covered a lot of ground in the time, which seemed to go very quickly. Venue was great and equipment provided. The herbal refreshments and little welcome pouch were nice touches, too. I would certainly recommend the experience to anyone interested in getting a more holistic understanding of yoga practice.” Judy (Bath, 2023)
“Sossi is an excellent yoga teacher. I attended her class on the beach and I really enjoyed it. Sossi communicates so well and makes you feel very comfortable and an active part of the class. Afterwards, I felt stronger, more in-tuned with my mind and body and more centered. I highly recommend Sossi’s yoga classes.” Katerina (Weston-super-mare, 2022)
“Sossi gives very clear instructions, is very tuned in and incorporates a range of great postures into her classes. I’m generally quite picky about whose classes I attend, and have been to many in the 25 years that I have been doing yoga, but I was very impressed.” Sarah (Bath, 2022)
“I was lucky enough to attend an outdoor yoga practice, and it was beautiful! We started nice and gently and instruction throughout was clear and unhurried, taking into account different levels of experience with the yogis. Highly recommend.” Hannah (Bath, 2022)
“Thank you for this morning’s yoga class I really enjoyed it, I like the way your classes flow. I always feel amazing afterwards. Thanks again.” Chris (Zoom, 2021)
“I really enjoyed the class last Sunday. It really helped my hip! It was also good to do it from home.” Lou (Zoom, 2021)
“Thank you very much for the free Yin yoga taster session, I have done mostly hatha yoga before, on and off for about 20 years, and it was great to use yoga positions that I was already familiar with in a very different way. I came away from the session feeling taller and moving more freely, and no aches and pains the next day! Hope to join you again soon.” Laura (Zoom, 2021)
“I really enjoyed your zoom Vinyasa Flow yoga class on Saturday, thank you! It had all the great attributes of your regular studio classes – clear instruction, careful safe guidance, well thought out structure and a lot of fun. I felt like I’d had some good exercise and stretch with the usual challenges on the way and can’t wait to sign up for the next class. Thanks.” Janine (Zoom, 2021)
“I had a breathing and meditation session with Sossi recently. She knows what she’s doing. Made me feel very comfortable and asked me questions to check how I was doing and how I found the procedures. Will see her again.” Paul (Zoom, 2020)
“An excellent teacher! Sossi’s yoga sessions are always varied and flowing, suiting different levels of ability. She creates a calm environment to practise yoga safely and confidently. Sossi wisely and rightly often remind us in class that yoga is more than just postures. For me, personally, it’s definitely ‘a tool for living’. I always look forward to our Saturday mornings yoga sessions with Sossi!” Mari (Bath, 2020)
“Today I went to a wonderful yoga class with Sossi, and can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the teaching was just brilliant, with the true experience of yoga.

”I arranged for Sossi to come to my villa to do a yoga session for myself and four friends. Sossi brought mats for us all and the session was fantastic. Felt totally calm and relaxed all day. Definitely recommend.” Lisa (Spain, 2019)
”I started meditation classes with Sossi at the beginning of the year. I had never done meditation previously but I had researched a lot about it. I suffer a lot from anxiety and panic and had read that it would be helpful to me. It has changed my life around, I now feel calmer, happier in myself and am able to appreciate my day to day life more. Sossi is a fantastic teacher as well as a lovely person. I looked forward every week to my class and I really felt I have learnt so much from Sossi and am able to incorporate it into my meditation which I now do on a daily basis. Sossi has so much knowledge about meditation and mindfulness and genuinely cares about everyone in her groups. She often messaged me during the week to see how I was doing and how I felt from my experience in the class that week. Her communication is excellent and I cannot recommend her enough. Meditation is something which takes practice and when done regularly will have a big impact on your life. I highly recommend Sossi.” Catherine (Spain, 2019)
”Best Yoga classes ever! A great mix of stretching, breathing, balance, encouragement, meditation, a perfect workout for body, soul and mind. All in a beautiful setting on the beach of Altea. You are a wonderful teacher! Namaste” Claudia (Spain, 2019)
”My yoga teacher Sossi showed me a more spiritual level to yoga which I’d never experienced before in my life, and I would recommend her classes to anyone who wants to connect to the universe.” Elsi (Spain, 2019)
”I have been attending Sossi’s Yoga classes and have found the benefits to be amazing. I love Sossi’s gentle manner and dedication to all aspects of the practice. She encourages you to develop physical, spiritual and emotional well being through meditation, focus on breathing and physical exercises to develop flexibility and strength. Her classes are varied, and I always feel so much better for going. Sossi has a beautiful heart and soul who puts everything she is into her teaching. She is a compassionate and knowledgeable yoga teacher who understands not all bodies are built the same and provides safe modifications to enjoy the wonderful benefits of the postures. I always feel inspired and balanced after taking her yoga classes.” Zoe (Spain, 2018)
”Another great morning session of life giving wonderful yoga hosted by Sossi. Thank you for being so giving of your time and knowledge to everyone at your class. I always feel so much more alive afterwards. It’s a great way to start the day.” Gen (Spain, 2018)
”I got classes from Sossi in the mornings on the Altea beach. She really knows a lot about many kinds of yoga. I learned and enjoyed very much!! She puts focus on body and mind and adapts to the different levels in the class. A real professional that makes you HAPPY!” Mona (Spain, 2018)
”Sossi offered lessons on the beach at sunset during the summer which was an amazing way to start the day filled with positive vibes. Her lessons were adapted to our level therefore we felt very relaxed during the session and were able to learn new postures as well as connecting spiritually with ourselves. She is very friendly and I would recommend anyone to take up lessons with Sossi as she is of great inspiration and genuinely cares about teaching.” Alicia (Spain, 2018)

“Enjoyed Yoga with Sossi! Very enthusiastic and caring teacher.” Moj (Sri Lanka, 2017)
”The yoga class gave me a lot of energy! It was the perfect way to get started for the rest of the day. Because I’m not a yoga-experienced person a lot of poses were new to me but Sossi first showed and explained the postures very clear. She also walked through the room to adjust some body postures, in that way you had a perfect view on some poses in one hour. Because of her positive approach Sossi got the maximum out of the group. It was clear to me that she teaches with heart, soul and knowledge. I would recommend everybody her yoga class because after you have a great feeling!” Tine (Sri Lanka, 2017)
Reviews on yoga and walking holidays
“I just got back from We Love Yoga & Travel retreat hosted by Sosena, our Yogi instructor. I was a little apprehensive before joining this event, however, it’s turned out to be the best thing I’ve done this month! The itinerary was packed with great events such as great walks with amazing views, yoga on the beach or Eucalyptus park, connecting with nature, meeting new people and sharing some insightful experiences with each other. Sossi provided full Information for the retreat well in advance and during the event. She arrived promptly for each day’s itinerary, very engaging, attentive, and shared great and insightful teaching throughout the retreat. She was also helpful with providing tips on good places to eat in the Albir area (Costa Blanca) and its surroundings, transport connections and amazing cake and coffee shops! I would recommend this retreat to anyone. This was truly an amazing experience. Thank you Sossi for the amazing experience at your yoga retreat. See you next year!” Adenike (Spain, 2019)
“Just back from yoga and walking long weekend in Albir and I highly recommend it. Sossi is delightful, accomodating and helpful, the classes and tours are most enjoyable. The hotel comfortable and food delicious. Dont even have to say the weather was wonderful with a breeze to keep us cool! Go….you wont regret it!” Karen (Spain, 2019)
“Sossi was very organised and more than helpful with setting everything up. Everything ran smoothly and the location was scenic. I enjoyed the Yoga although the hotel I would advise to change as it was noisy at the weekend. Sossi is a very friendly person and easy to talk to.” Michael (Spain, 2019)
“Great trip. Sosena appreciate the effort and thought you put into organising the trip, and staying open to changes too. Was great to explore with the group and get a feel of what the surroundings have to offer. Yoga on the beach is hard to beat.” Ruby (Spain, 2019)
