Solas
Venice · Encinitas · Santa Cruz · Online

Three studios.
One breath.

Solas means light. We are a family of neighborhood yoga studios on the California coast, plus a studio that fits in your pocket. Good teaching, warm rooms, no attitude.

It's first light at Solas. Venice flows at 6:30.

Find your studio

The Venice Main Room in late afternoon light, mats laid out under old beams

Venice

Steps from the boardwalk. Two rooms, one properly hot. Our first room and still the loudest heartbeat.

The single sunlit Encinitas studio with morning light through east windows

Encinitas

The quiet one. Morning light and ocean air down the road from Swami's. Home of the prenatal program.

The Santa Cruz Main Room with redwoods framed in the full-height window

Santa Cruz

Redwood country. A big main room, a movement room, and tea worth staying for.

First time? Take two weeks on us. Well, on $49.

№ 05 — Asked all the time

Before your first class

Do I need to be flexible?

Perfect, you're the target audience. Flexibility is a result of yoga, not an entry requirement. Half the room can't touch their toes either.

What do I bring?

Yourself, water, and clothes you can move in. Mats and props are free to borrow and we wash them like we mean it. For Hot 26, add a towel.

What's the cancellation window?

Free cancellation up to 8 hours before class so the spot can go to someone on the waitlist. Inside that, the visit is used.

№ 06 — The letter

A short letter, most Sundays

Class news, workshop dates, and one good idea for your week. No spam, ever.
