Your Teacher

This course will be led by experienced Breathworks teacher Sophie Matthew.

Sophie has been teaching mindfulness and meditation for over a decade and has had a personal practice for much longer. She has found this to be transformative in her own life, particularly in relation to  living with chronic pain, as well as stress, and is passionate about sharing its many deep benefits with others.

Sophie is an Associate Teacher, trainer and supervisor for Breathworks and regularly teaches both Mindfulness for Stress and Mindfulness for Health courses as well as offering one to one sessions and mindfulness in the workplace. Sophie also occasionally teaches MBSR but particularly appreciates the compassion that lies at the heart of all that Breathworks offers.

Sophie very much enjoys working collaboratively and doing what she can to support others on their own unique and individual journeys with mindfulness.
