Sofia teaches to inspire people with the wonders and mysteries of their moving bodies. Her lessons include anatomical awareness and imagery, in order to give students self knowledge to heal themselves. She is energized by constantly gaining new knowledge from workshops and professional developments about the moving body and integrates these discoveries into her teaching practice.
Sofia Klass received her Pilates Certification from Long Beach Dance Conditioning with Marie-Jose Blom, and her Hatha Vinyasa Yoga certification from Max Strom. Previously she attended UCLA obtaining a B.A. in Dance from the World Arts and Cultures Department. Sofia has been fortunate to study and teach dance and movement therapy all over the world; experiences which have helped her to apply a multidisciplinary approach to her teaching style. She integrates the Pilates technique with yoga, dance, anatomical awareness, and structural alignment.
