Who we are
Partners in crime on and off the mat, Josh and Soph have been adventuring through life together for the past nine (or maybe ten) years - the jury’s still out!
They each came into the wellness world from different directions: Soph as a high-flying Executive and Personal Assistant for high-net-worth individuals, and Josh from the world of sustainability consulting. Whilst caring for the planet will always be a part of what he does, the time had come to swap hands in the soil for toes in the sand.
For more details on their individual teaching styles and experience, check out the dropdowns below.
Now splitting their time between London and Central America, they’ve spent the past two years managing a boutique eco-hotel on the Nicaraguan coastline, honing their hospitality and retreat management skills. Alongside this, they’ve been teaching on retreats around the world, from Bali to the Caribbean, and island hopping through Europe in places like Menorca, Ibiza, and Zakynthos, sharing their love for movement, mindfulness, and connection with diverse global communities.
Upbeat and caring souls, they share a deep knowledge of yoga and a love for the outdoors and nature. Their energy is infectious, and smiles, laughter, and good times are never far away.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to fire over a message - they’ll get back to you ASAP!
