The Project
Ultimately inspired by the beautiful island of Mallorca. The goal is to find the balance of give & take between celebrating special occasions as visitors and protecting the magnificent nature & culture of the island.
Drawing on two areas of our founder`s expertise, the yoga project and the wedding project are evolving works focused on bringing visiting clients the most authentic and high quality experiences.
Curated from years of experience and Kms of travelling around the world to gain knowledge & ideas from many cultures & great minds.
Giving back to the local culture and preservation of the natural biosphere is right at the heart of it. Educating our clients on the best the island has to offer and raising our client`s vibration through wellness services to maintain the serene atmosphere Mallorca is famous for.
We hope by donating a portion of our profits we can support preservation efforts and enjoy the natural beauty of our island for many years to come.
Hi, I`m Sophie
an international yoga instructor, wedding planner and wedding celebrant.
You may wonder how such a combination came to be. Well, it`s quite the story!
I travelled the world at a young age moving from my hometown of Manchester, UK to Atlanta, USA at 14. I trained in classical ballet and performed in theatre and TV. After completing my degree in Theatre Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London in 2007 I moved into the world of events with a post graduate diploma in event management.
My events career started at the exclusive west London venue, Sunbeam Studios where I worked with brands such as Gucci, Bacardi, Vodafone, Stella McCartney and planned weddings & celebrations for international private clients in the beautiful blank canvas spaces of the historical building.
In 2012 I escaped the crazy city life in London and put my skills to use in Balearic islands, Spain. 14 years of event management later and I still absolutely love using my specialist knowledge to create destination weddings for clients from all cultures, backgrounds and beliefs.
Becoming a yogi
After a busy wedding season in 2018 I was looking for something to bring a little peace to my life and hopped on a plane to Costa Rica to complete a 200hr RYT Yoga Alliance Training at Innersea Yoga Academy. For the past 6 years I have continued my studies and accumulated over 800 hrs of YA accreditation from India (Indea Yoga, Mysore) to Bali and across Europe.
In between busy summer seasons I travel the world sharing my yoga knowledge in schools and retreat centres teaching yin, ashtanga, vinyasa, and hatha asana styles as well as going beyond asana to share practices in sound healing, pranayama, meditation and anatomy as well as philosophy.
The Mallorca Yoga Project held its inaugural summer retreats in 2021 in the natural beauty of the Cevennes National Park, South of France and in 2023 added my soul home of Mallorca to the portfolio of retreat destinations.
Sophie the Celebrant
After 12 years creating weddings between the beautiful Balearic Islands and Barcelona, I trained with the Academy of Modern Celebrancy in 2023 to become a Wedding Celebrant.
Along with my background in performing arts and hospitality, everything I have learnt and experienced in my life thus far has led me here. Even after all these years I am still obsessed with weddings and have to fight back tears during every couple`s vows.
It is a great privilege to be of service to people and host clients on our breathtaking island every year. Everyday my goal is to make the world a little more joyful and watching people`s dreams come true in front of my eyes is the greatest job in the world.
