Frequently Asked Questions
What is class like at Sol?
Our classes are offered to yogis of every level, from beginner to advanced practitioner. We teach the Baptiste Journey Into Power sequence, which is a form of yoga called Vinyasa, which means body movements coordinated with breath. Regular group classes are held in a room heated to 90 degrees to encourage a deep change within the muscles.
Do you offer non-heated classes?
Yes, our Yin classes are non-heated.
Do you offer private lessons?
Yes, a number of our teachers are available for private lessons during a variety of times throughout the week. Learn More >

How often should I come to class?
Your yoga practice is just that—a practice. The more you are able to come to class, the greater it will serve you. Three times or more a week seems to be the tipping point that will make all the difference in your practice and your life.
Can I take class if I am injured?
Consult with your medical professional. Let the instructor know about your injury before taking class so he/she can address your specific issues and give you modifications to make.
Can I practice yoga if I'm pregnant?
Pregnancy yoga is parallel to the regular practice with the omission of twists and inversions as well as supine asanas after twenty weeks. Variations to all of the asanas are possible. While the room is heated, the pregnant mom will not experience a core body temperature increase so therefore it is safe.
Our recommendation is to take a few in-class private lessons to help you learn which poses to modify and how to do those poses safely.
How should I prepare for class?
It is best to come to class well hydrated and ready to sweat. Avoid eating a heavy meal 1-2 hours before class to keep your stomach comfortable.
