About Us:
Meet Bill & Elaine, the Heart of Sohot Yoga
Welcome to Sohot Yoga, the vibrant, life-changing world created by Bill and Elaine Thwaites, our cherished founders.



What makes Bill and Elaine’s approach particularly outstanding is their understanding of the neurological steps required to get the body & mind to master any activity in a rapidly short time without stress.
Imagine stepping into a place in the heart of London where a vibrant community vibe merges seamlessly with the allure of the high-profile world. This is Sohot Yoga, a unique sanctuary where celebrities rub shoulders with West-End dancers, entrepreneurs mingle with moms and dads, artists find common ground with office workers, and more. Not just any yoga studio; Sohot was the go-to place for stars like Lady Gaga, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Robert Downey Jr, to name a few. A melting pot of diverse lives and stories, all united by a passion for yoga.
Today Bill & Elaine have stepped away from the hustle and bustle of running a brick and mortar studio business setting up a global vibrant online yoga training experiance for students, teachers and studio owners.
But let's rewind a bit. Bill and Elaine, with their infectious passion and groundbreaking insights, penned the eye-opening book, “Yoga: The Sohot Way - The Secrets to a Healthy Body Your Yoga Teacher Isn't Telling You." It's not just a book; it's the gateway to our unique, life-altering approach to yoga - the Sohot Method.
Our story began with a simple desire: to regain our own mobility. Yet, as we delved deeper, we stumbled upon a question that sparked a revolution. Why do so many, especially those over 40, struggle with mobility, joint, and back issues despite practicing yoga?
This curiosity led us down an exhilarating path of discovery, blending the latest in longevity science and sports recovery to birth the Sohot Method of Hatha yoga.
The Sohot Method isn’t just yoga; it’s a revelation. It’s about transforming your nervous system to maintain a body that’s open, fluid, powerful and free from stress and tension.
Imagine a practice that not only eases tension but also awakens your inner strength, banishing the harmful compression that limits your true potential and causes all those nagging yoga-related discomforts.
Our spin on the classic 26 & 2 Bikram yoga postures is about body engagement - power, control and zero body tension. It's about understanding the neurological journey to mastering any skill swiftly and seamlessly.
The results? They speak for themselves. Within just 4 weeks, our students, grappling with chronic tension and mobility woes, have seen remarkable improvements in motor control, coordination, balance, flexibility, and agility.
But it's more than just physical. It’s about attaining an elevated level of awareness, a harmony of mind and body.
The proof of our method's success isn’t just in the transformative experiences of our students, but in the numbers too. Our classes started filling up like never before as more people experienced significant healing from injuries, joint and back pain.
Join us at Sohot Yoga, where every session is a step towards a more vibrant, empowered, and pain-free you. It's not just yoga; it's a journey to your best self with Bill and Elaine as your guides.
Welcome to our family! 🧘♀️🌟
