Sophie Parienti is an inspiring woman: as a successful entrepreneur with over twenty years of experience, she mastered running her business together with her loving husband. She started in the print press and took YOGI TIMES magazine through death and rebirth with her yoga practice’s constant support.

Finding Home and Self

In 1992 Sophie left her home in France and went to LA for a two-week stay with a friend. Within three days, she knew LA was her new home. She ended up quitting school and returned to California for a six-month visit. It would be four and a half years before she flew back to France; all in all, she’d live in California for the next sixteen years where she met her first husband.

Sophie speaks of the passion and eventual end of this relationship as being the first significant “teacher” which lead her to do a lot of work on herself and set her onto a lifelong journey of self-discovery. 

Discovering Yoga 

A girlfriend then took her to a yoga class. At the end of the class, the teacher guided them into Savasana, and she lay down on her mat. The teacher sounded a gong, asking the students to relax completely and to follow the gong. Sophie followed the gong deep into herself. She experienced a visualization so completely she felt it becoming real. She described it as connecting the inner essence to the mind that can visualize it and the body that can respond to it. It was a truly profound experience for Sophie and left her wondering, “What was that?” She decided to follow the adventure.
