Q: What does your facility offer?

We truly believe in mindfulness practices being accessible to all ages and stages of life.

On top of the beautiful classes/offerings we have in the Sol Shala and Luna Shala, we have 3 personal treatment rooms. These are dedicated to personal sessions with Salt “Halotherapy”, energy/body workers. Massage Therapy, Reiki, and Healing Sessions will be available for you to schedule individual appointments with our light workers.

As well as our Shalas and Treatment Rooms, we have a beautiful lobby for gathering before and after your sessions. We also have men’s and women’s restrooms with showers available for you to use at no extra charge.

We are truly looking forward to sharing this intentional space with you and connecting with you, in all stages of life. Please reach out to us if you have any questions: connect@solhealthyoga.com

 

Q: What is the difference between the Sol Shala and Luna Shala?

Our Sol (Sun) Shala is the Yang Energy of the Yin/Yang symbol. This room is heated up to 105 degrees for most classes, with “Heating Green” infrared heaters. This is a far-infrared heat that has optimal benefits for the human body. If you are interested in learning more about WHY infrared heat in your practice is beneficial please click here. Included in your membership, the Sol Shala will include Hatha, Vinyasa, and Sculpt classes.

Our Luna (Moon) Shala, which is the Yin Energy of the Yin/Yang symbol. This room has the same far-infrared heaters. However, we keep the Luna Shala around 80 degrees. Included in your membership, Luna offers Pranayama (breathwork), Moving Meditation, Yin, and Meditation classes. These classes are naturally a softer practice, with the temperature being lower and movements being slower. The offerings in Luna encourage more Pranayama and Meditation to assist with your growth mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

 

Q: What can I expect from each class?

-MEDITATION AND TEA

The practice begins with a tea ceremony that allows each participant to settle into their body and the space of the Luna Shala. This is a journey inward, through stillness, to make conscious connection to self and the experience of being within presence. Benefits to this practice: calming nervous system, lowering blood pressure, releasing stress, becoming aware, and discovering true self. Tea is provided to enhance the experience of calming body and mind. Please bring pillows, bolsters, and props as needed for a sustainable meditation practice.

-YIN

Yin can be a challenging practice for a student that may have a busy lifestyle and have a hard time slowing down. Within a 75-90 minute period, you may only do 10 postures total. All postures are held for 3-10 minutes. The intention with holding the poses longer is to allow you to move deep within the connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. We recommend you bring bolsters, throw pillows, blocks, and Mexican blankets to this practice to support your body in holding these poses for longer times. This class is available for beginners and advanced students.

-MOVING MEDITATION

The essence of this practice is similar to our Vinyasa in the Sol Shala. However, for your Moving Meditation in the Luna Shala, you will experience more opportunities for stillness and meditation. There are not any mirrors in the Luna Shala, so naturally this offering is more intuitive and introspective. Within the Luna Shala, you are building your own internal fire, rather than using the heat of the Sol Shala. This practice is great for all beginners and advanced practitioners. Intentionally move within your spine to create circulation and find mobility through your joints, while experiencing the life of your breath. Join us for this special offering.

-HATHA

Hatha is the same 26 poses every time you come to class. You will also familiarize yourself with 2 breathing exercises- one at the beginning of class, and one at the conclusion of class. This class is held around 105 degrees, with the intention to warm your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue to allow your practice to be more accessible. In between each of the 26 poses you will find a “resting posture” to digest the benefits from your last posture. This class is accessible to all levels of practitioners. We encourage “new students” to start with this practice, because there is time within each pose to gage whether you should modify or intensify, as appropriate to your body.

-VINYASA

Vinyasa is a movement based practice. We keep this class around 100-105 degrees. In Vinyasa, we synchronize your breath with the movement you experience in the practice. Each posture poetically merges into the next, utilizing your inhale and exhale with intention of the contrast of energy.... your inhale bringing you new energy, and your exhale offering a sense of release and letting go. In a sense, this class can be considered more advanced. This stems from the relationship with your breath. As long as you are able to maintain a controlled and intentional breath, this practice will come naturally to you.

-SCULPT

We keep this class between 95-100 degrees. In Vinyasa, we synchronize your breath with the movement you experience in the practice. This class is everything that a Vinyasa class offers, but utilizing dumbbell weights within the movement. Each posture poetically merges into the next, utilizing your inhale and exhale with intention of the contrast of energy.... your inhale bringing you new energy, and your elongated and powerful exhale offering a sense of release and letting go. 

We do not recommend this class for students beginning their movement practice.

-AERIAL

Aerial yoga combines asana (the physical postures of yoga) with the aerial silk hammock. The silk fabrics suspend from steel beams in our Luna shala. You can be supported fully, or suspend individual body parts that can create traction and open your body more gently and intuitively than when you’re practicing yoga on the floor. Our Aerial drop in class is for those students that have taken our aerial series or can demonstrate they are experienced in the silk hammocks.
