Happy Mother’s Day, Sol Seekers. 💐

Looking for plans with mom? Join us in-studio or online for class today!

BTW, May is Friends + Family Month. 💛 If any maternal figures in your life are new to the studio, treat them to a free week of yoga!

You asked and we listened! Prenatal yoga is back at Sol Seek. 💛 🙌

Join us this Wednesday, May 15th at 8:45 am for a Prenatal Yoga Community Class with Jamie Davin!

Jamie is a Certified Sattva Prenatal Yoga Teacher who began teaching after the birth of her first child. During her pregnancy, prenatal yoga served as a sacred space: respite from a busy life, community with other mothers-to-be, and an opportunity to connect deeply with her baby.

Now, passionate about guiding this offering for others, she honors the energy and needs of each unique pregnancy journey. This class is designed to guide mothers in all stages of pregnancy. In community, you will prepare the body, mind, and spirit for birth and beyond.

Community classes are donation based and offered at a discounted rate of $10. All proceeds go to our BIPOC yoga teacher training scholarship.

Sign up online or through the Sol Seek app! ✨

Whew, does it feel to anyone else like March flew by? 🏃‍♀️😵‍💫​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
A quote that especially resonated with us this month belongs to Irish author Jonathan Swift: “May you live all the days of your life.” His words ask us to find presence in each day, to be here for the joy, the adversity, the mundane, and everything else in between.

Being present on our mat is often easier said than done. Amidst the flurry of hectic work schedules and busy social lives, our thoughts become occupied with the past and future, rather than the now. For the special hour or so that we spend in our practice, how can we lovingly observe these thoughts without allowing them to define the present moment?

🌿 What is our breath telling us?

🌿 How does each sensation feel in our body?

🌿 What poses are gifts we can offer ourselves?

The to-do lists, the dinner plans, the texts we might be getting while our phone is tucked away in the other room — they'll all still be there when we close practice. 😌 Let's carry the spirit of Swift's words beyond March, and do our best to experience our lives (and yoga practice) as each moment arises.

Thanks for being with us in the now, Sol Seekers. ✨ Any guesses on what April's monthly theme will be?

Burn is a signature modality of Sol Seek! Burn incorporates strength training, cardiovascular exercises, and dynamic movements to create a super comprehensive workout. 💪❤️‍🔥

One of our favorite qualities of this unique class is the purpose behind it. Unlike other fitness activities, the goal isn’t to shred calories or achieve a certain look. Instead, the priority is placed on empowerment, stress relief, and feeling GREAT!

If you’re an existing fitness or yoga teacher, expand your expertise and teaching repertoire by enrolling in our 2024 Burn Teacher Training! This 50-hour program will provide you with new tools and techniques to diversify your offerings. 🙌

Training takes place in Santa Barbara from April 5 - 14 and in Manhattan Beach from April 29 - May 5! To learn more, explore the full curriculum, & sign up, visit our website.

“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.”​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
The start of February means the start of our next monthly theme: Where the Rubber Meets the Road. 🙌

ICYMI, in-studio monthly themes are a fun (and mindful) practice that we’ve picked up from our Manhattan Beach studios! These themes allow us to integrate a connecting thread across our community and move with intention throughout the month.

This month’s theme, Where the Rubber Meets the Road, comes to us as we close out the first month of the New Year. January can feel especially motivating, as we make changes and set resolutions. February challenges us to not lose sight of these intentions for our coming year. This is when we are called to embody resilience, hardwork, and perseverance. 🧘‍♂️

If February’s theme resonates with you, it’s not too late to sign up for our Self-Love Challenge! Recommit to yourself and your practice by taking 15 classes throughout the month and win $50 off your March membership.

For more info + registration, visit our website or stop by the front desk. 💛

Hey all, we have an important studio update for our Sol Seek ClassPass community. Starting February 6th, we will no longer be working with ClassPass.

When ClassPass was created, it was designed to be a marketing tool to help studios - a great way to meet new students, but not intended to be a substitution for membership.

ClassPass has quickly become a corporate giant, owned by a private equity firm that has continually pushed profit over the small businesses that they depend upon. This is the same firm that now owns MindBody, which we left in 2023 for the same reasons. Classpass has recently issued new terms to its partner businesses, which in our opinion, are completely one-sided and rather all-ecompassing. This model is simply not sustainable for us.

ClassPass’s structure actively pushes people away from supporting small businesses — businesses that are essential to the local economy, provide job opportunities for your fellow community members, and are run by real people who genuinely care about the clients that they serve.

At Sol Seek Yoga, we’re proud to be a small business. No boardrooms here — just grit, and real passion for what we do. Boutique yoga and fitness studios are about building community, and we are dedicated to preserving the culture and relationships that our members have come to expect from us. We work to embody “community mindfulness through shared practice.” And we depend on our Sol Seek community for support.

Despite us parting ways with ClassPass, it has been a joy to meet many of the ClassPass users who have become regular attendees! For this reason, we’re happy to be offering an exclusive membership discount for ClassPass users. DM us to learn more!

And even if Sol Seek isn’t ultimately the studio for you, we encourage you to ditch the ClassPass subscription and consider joining one of the many awesome, local fitness spots in SB and MB.

Thank you for your understanding and support. 💛
