Sofia Nguyen

Sofia Nguyen covers stress, sleep, and emotional wellbeing. She found the beat the way many readers find these articles - during a long stretch of bad sleep, searching at two in the morning and landing on pages that promised far too much. Her beat sits where yoga meets health claims, so the standard is strict: named studies, honest effect sizes, and a clear line about when something needs a clinician rather than a yoga mat. She writes slowly on purpose, because the topics are tender and the readers are often tired. What yoga and breath practices can reasonably offer for stress and sleep is real but modest, and her pieces try to be exactly that - real and modest. Off the page she keeps a short evening practice she has held onto for years, and she is the first to say it is not a cure for anything.
