Landed at SOL in Fort Lauderdale during 2020 after practicing at several studios in Fort Lauderdale. I love so many things about this studio I can't pick one of the generic choices above. The studio, staff, smoothie bar, boutique and decor are all stand outs.
Where SOL is really hitting the ball out of the park is with instructors! Having practiced in Fort Lauderdale for over ten years, I have come to know and love so many fabulous instructors. I must plug SOL's super stars!
Emily Tambaschi has again reminded me the teacher shows up when the student does and vice versa. Emily is truly gifted at what she does and brings out the best in you and your practice. Be ready for a super strong, focused and engaging class. Emily's kind soul embraces you as you come in to the studio then she puts on her teacher hat and really challenges you with great and innovative transitions, engaging flows and an instinctive voice which takes all students in the room into account. She is aware of her student and their needs and makes a real connection as she teaches you from the sanskrit asana names to the exact placement of your body in order to fully take advantage of your time on the mat.
Molly Weintraub is an absolutely firecracker of a teacher. Taking her class feels like being surrounded by many of your favorite people, engaging in a practice you love and listening to her cues and inspiration. She is experienced, passionate and truly lives, breathes and loves yoga. And her music...Energy and fun!
Rosaleen O'Neill is another standout with her beautiful demeanor and grace. She embodies the teacher who is interested in the progress of her students and reaches out to make sure you are participating and progressing.
There are many more great teachers at SOL, my practice has simply been asking for these three lately. I am moving north and know I am leaving a treasure at...
Read moreI am extremely disappointed and embarrassed with my experience this past Memorial weekend at Sol Yoga Ft. Lauderdale. As someone who loves yoga and had an active membership at the Sol Yoga in Miami I figured I would try out the Fort Lauderdale studio, but sadly it was a HUGE let down. The unprofessionalism of this studio and instructor Danielle Petries was mind blowing. To think that I would pay $30 for a drop in class to be publicly humiliated by not only man in his late 50s but also the instructor for simply taking a breather/break and checking my phone. I had a man in his late 50s YELL AT ME from across the room “ARE YOU HERE TO WORK OUT OR BE ON YOUR PHONE” and then shortly after the instructor proceeds to walk over and scream from the front of the room “we have a no phone policy, if you want to use your phone step outside”. In the numerous amount of times I have been to Sol Yoga-Miami I have not once been told about this “phone policy” and there are no physical signs nor is it on their small print/booking information. Sol Yoga-Miami even allows you to record yourself while you work out! I have never felt so humiliated and disgusted with a work out studio before. Noted that me and my many friends who work out here will not be returning. Too many yoga studios in South Florida to accept this disrespectful act. What a shame that a studio that is owned and run by solely women would treat someone...
Read moreVisiting SFL and heard great things about this studio, so decided to try it out. Beautiful space - don’t let the industrial area around there fool you, it’s a great spot. Angela guided a perfect slow flow- all levels appropriate- and was she brilliant and lovely to boot! They have a smoothie bar where you can preorder before class and it’ll be waiting for you - didn’t try one, but next time… Maybe best part was the beautiful locker room - lockers , full private showers with towels and amenities. One of the nicest studios I’ve visited and topped off with staff that was just as friendly and helpful! PS- it’s also very very clean and I saw them taking great care to keep it clean after class- kudos to the owner and staff ! Try it out - you won’t be...
