Gigi teaches Vinyasa, Hatha & Restorative yoga styles; in her classes, she creates a nurturing and safe space where her students can flow creatively and explore a deeper sense of connection with their bodies. Also trained as a Holistic Health Coach and Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Therapist, Gigi is on a mission to empower those she works with to take charge and lead a more vibrant lifestyle. She has been practicing yoga for 10+ years. After completing her first training, she subsequently left her job in the art world and decided to share the gift of yoga and meditation with others as she had witnessed positive and profound changes in her own life.

Gigi is currently based in SW London, where she teaches regular public yoga classes, she welcomes all practitioners and is an advocate for teaching in inclusive community spaces, making yoga accessible and affordable to more people. Gigi also organises bespoke women's wellness retreats in the Kent countryside.

Sophie’s experience within the esoteric sphere spans over 14 years. She is an adept Tarot Reader, Evolutionary Astrologer and Ceremonialist. She hosts immersive events and women’s circles across Kent and London focusing on esoteric education, and sensory journeys of self-discovery. Her work has an emphasis around karma & evolution and is rooted in the belief that our soul has memories, experience and wisdom beyond this life. By leading people through their natal charts and utilising her seership she permeates the veil, unlocking the power, mysteries and gifts that lie within her client’s story.

After over a decade of embodying these practices, personal mentorships, study, courses and hands-on practice with trusted practitioners, Sophie continues to curate continually sold-out experiences and her coveted ‘Celestial Soul’ natal readings booked months in advance.

  • “I loved everything! The situation that Godmersham lends is truly magical. The retreat was set up in a beautiful walled garden with stunning herbaceous beds. Alongside the pool and gazebo for reading, lay out mats with our own personalised goody bags. There were flower arrangements scattered around the retreat, delicious home made snacks, drinks and lunch. It was lovely being given time to slow down, leave the world behind (that is how it felt) and simply walk, read or merely reflect. But it is Gigi's yoga that is truly wonderful. It is so transparent in her teachings that she lives a yogic life. Her authenticity shines through in her yoga….For me, the retreat just allowed me to be.”

  • “You made the whole day so beautiful, with thoughtful touches. You make everyone of us feel special and relaxed.”

  • “Sometimes you meet people who touch your soul through what they are here to be and express. I had a beautiful reading with Sophie, her wisdom and clarity is mind-blowing”

  • “ Absolutely magical - a healing and powerful experience… Sophie’s beautiful, bold energy held space and connected so many amazing women. She has created something inexplainable… a safe, nurturing & goddess-filled space… The energy of the evening has not faded!”

  • “Magic, as always! I love Gigi’s classes”
