Transforming Trauma: Yoga and Breathwork in Sophie Star's Healing Journey
In our latest episode, we dive into the transformative journey of Sophie, a seasoned yoga instructor and survivor of an abusive marriage. Sophie shares her insights on the importance of pranayama (breathing techniques) in yoga for physical and mental health. We discuss how breathwork, combined with yoga, meditation, and plant medicine retreats, aided her in healing and self-discovery after escaping a toxic relationship. Sophie also reflects on the role of hypnotherapy in uncovering and addressing personal traumas, ultimately leading to personal growth and independence. With honesty and courage, Sophie narrates her journey from fear and manipulation to empowerment and the joy of embracing life fully.

Homework for this week:
Create a Self-Love Mantra
- Write a self-love mantra or affirmation that supports your healing journey. Repeat it daily, especially during challenging times or moments of self-doubt.
- Examples of mantras include “I am worthy of love and respect,” or “I trust myself and my inner wisdom.” Write it on a sticky note and place it where you’ll see it regularly.
- Doing this will reinforce a positive self-image and build your inner confidence
If you’d like to, share your self love mantra with us and we will remind you of this each week to help you. If you’re happy to, be brave and post it on social media, tag us and use the hashtag #reignmaker
