Nature's Wisdom - Sophie Malahieude, Neighbor

Sophie is an Ayurveda counselor and Yoga teacher.

Her journey started in Germany in 1997 when she entered a Yoga class without speaking fluently German. She discovered Yoga guided by her heart. Her teacher introduced her also to the principle of Ayurveda. “Know your nature to adjust lifestyle and diet with the seasons”.

In 2004, shortly after moving to United States, She decided to become a Yoga teacher. She is registered with Yoga Alliance at E-RYT-200 and RYT-500 level.

Ayurveda emphasizes the connection with mother Earth, Yoga emphasizes connection with the Divine. Living daily with both of them as tools to optimize heath and wellbeing brought her joy and contentment.

The deeper her Yoga practice went the more she wanted to add Ayurveda in it. She turned toward Vedic healing to combine Ayurveda and Yoga. She learned how to adjust Yoga according to each person’s needs. She received her certification as Vedic healer from Bhava Ram and Laura Plumb at The Deep Yoga School, in San Diego.

In addition Sophie is a Laughter Yoga leader, because laughter has a healing power as much as time and love.

Her interest in women’s health took her to study Dinah Rodriguez program “Hormones Yoga therapy” she just completed HYT level 1.

She continues her education in Vedic healing through The Deep Yoga School (with Laura Plumb and Bhava Ram) and the American Institute of Vedic Studies under the guidance of Dr. David Frawley (Pandit Vamadeva Shastri).
