Our Journey

Founded in 2015, SoulVana Yoga was born from a deep passion for the transformative power of yoga and a desire to create an inclusive, welcoming space for practitioners of all levels. What started as a small studio with just two instructors has grown into a thriving community dedicated to holistic wellness.

Our name, SoulVana, combines "Soul" with "Nirvana" - representing our commitment to guiding you toward a state of perfect peace and happiness through the union of mind, body, and spirit.

Our Philosophy

At SoulVana Yoga, we embrace the ancient wisdom of yoga while making it accessible and relevant to modern life. Our philosophy centers around these core principles:

  • Unity of Body and Mind - We believe in nurturing the connection between physical movement and mental awareness.
  • Inclusive Practice - Yoga is for everyone, regardless of age, body type, or experience level.
  • Mindful Living - We encourage carrying the awareness cultivated on the mat into daily life.
  • Continuous Growth - Yoga is a lifelong journey of self-discovery and evolution.

We honor the traditional roots of yoga while adapting practices to suit contemporary needs, creating a balanced approach that respects both ancient wisdom and modern science.
