The Flow Foundry
The Flow Foundry is a podcast dedicated to the art of teaching yoga. As yoga teachers, we often navigate our journey alone, relying on trial and error to refine our skills. This podcast creates a space for open, inspiring, and authentic conversations that foster collective mentorship.
By sharing real stories from yoga teachers around the world, I hope to help teachers—including myself—gain more confidence, expand our knowledge, and shift from simply "teaching a class" to sharing the experience of yoga in its broadest and most transformative form.

Episode 2: Teaching Yoga Through the Lens of Life - Sophie Pelsmaekers' Inward Journey from Overwhelm to Insight
In this episode of Flow Foundry, the podcast delves into the holistic world of yoga teaching with Sophie. We explore her journey from early exposure to yoga as a child, through her academic and professional career, leading up to a transformative pivot into yoga teaching. Sophie opens up about her experiences, including the highs and lows of combining multiple jobs, experiencing burnout, and the lessons learned from within. She shares candid insights on authenticity in teaching, balancing personal growth with professional responsibilities, and introduces her new concept: “The Inward Journey”—an immersive blend of Yoga Nidra and sound baths aimed at helping individuals explore their inner world. Join us for an inspiring conversation that touches on the power of self-reflection, the essence of creating mindful spaces, and the continuous journey of learning and evolving as a yoga teacher.
