Ideology + Ethos
Sow Studio is a community. We believe mindful movement has profound effects. In a world that prioritises productivity above all else, creating space for self care is integral to finding a sense of balance.
Yoga offers an antidote to a busy life, an overwhelmed mind or a body in need of nurture.
Through movement, breath and meditation we can awaken the body and reconnect with our true intentions and beliefs to find a place of calm – mentally and physically.
By creating time to care for the self, we allow space for ourselves to be more grounded and present which in turn contributes positively to all around us.
Meet Scarlett
Sow Studio is founded by Scarlett Lily.
Scarlett grew up in Te Henga, Tāmaki. As a child she was always drawn to movement and exhibited a natural aptitude for athletics. Consistently seeking a physical outlet and connection with her environment on both land and in water, Scarlett has always had an inherent fascination with the strength and grace of the body’s many expressions.
After completing a design degree, traveling through South East Asia and then moving to London, Scarlett found herself at the hands of the pandemic and back in Aotearoa sooner than expected.
At a crossroad in her life and keen to refocus her energy, Scarlett drew on her years of Yoga practice and recognised the deep significance it had on her everyday.
Drawing on its teachings and appreciating Yoga’s ability to truly ground the self, Scarlett knew her next venture was to share this practice with as many people as she could.
Scarlett then went on to complete her 200hr Yoga teacher training (YTT) with RYS Yoga Koh in New Zealand and is a registered yoga teacher under Yoga Alliance®.
Since completing her YTT Scarlett has been teaching throughout Auckland studios alongside private one on ones and group classes in the workplace.
Scarlett's mission is to create a community of like minded practitioners and people, that support, share, give and teach each other about the many other and better ways we can exist, live and be in this world.
