Episode 3: Meet Sophie Coggins

In this episode, Sophie Coggins shares her story—how she went from studying Psychology, to working as an Occupational Therapist in the NHS, to becoming a Yoga Therapist and founding Move & Heal CIC.

It's been a winding path for her, shaped by deep personal loss, a passion for people, and a drive to bring healing where it’s needed most. After the passing of her wonderful Dad, she set off travelling the world—and everywhere she went, she found Yoga. Or maybe Yoga found her. Either way, it became her lifeline.

Here, she talks about the teachers who shaped her, including her first Yoga teacher Marilyn, and how she blended her therapy background into Yoga and how this came together to form the foundation of the work she does today—making Yoga accessible, therapeutic, and real for people living with long-term health conditions such as chronic and persistent pain.

You’ll hear how this led Sophie to set up Move & Heal CIC and how its mission is to bring holistic, person-centred care to communities across Greater Manchester.

Whether you’re curious about Yoga, thinking you "can't do Yoga", or just love hearing people’s real-life journeys—this episode is for you.
