Hello fellow readers! This blog will capture my journey from start to finish with The Institute of Yoga Sport Science® as I train to be a Certified Yoga Sports Coach™

I thought I would begin by introducing myself and telling you a little bit about my background. My name is Zoe Sorrentino. I grew up and live in the British Virgin Islands, a small set of Islands in the Eastern Caribbean. To say I enjoy sports, competing and exercise is an understatement. Since I can remember I have been participating in sports in the BVI, throughout the Caribbean and in the UK. I love squash, field hockey, Crossfit, surfing, tennis and just about any sporting activity. I thrive on it! So, it is safe to say, my mindset is fairly competitive and I am wired as an athlete. I love pushing my body to its limits in competitions and training.

"Sports are where I find my mental and physical release"

Yoga? Yoga Sports Coach™? How did I get here?

To begin, I wasn’t the typical Yoga...

It’s fair to say that yoga has become a global phenomenon thanks to the Internet. From Yoga blogs to Superstar Instagrammers, popular teachers like Adrienne on Youtube, open classes on Yoga Glo, Doyouryoga, Movement For Modern Life, there are now more opportunities to practice and connect with yoga teachers all over the world than ever before. 

Online learning has also become hugely popular thanks to the expansion of digital technology and faster broadband. You can now take courses and classes in practically any subject without leaving your front room. With University tuition fees at all-time highs both in the USA and UK, this means that for many, chances to improve their employment prospects by gaining additional qualifications have increased.

Here at The Institute of Yoga Sports Science® (YSS), we’ve been leading the digital education revolution since 2009 delivering world-class training in our Yoga Sports Coaching™ method.
