Sol Hot Yoga and Movement — Local services in San Francisco

Beautiful, beautiful light filled second-floor studio in North Beach that has multiple Bikram yoga classes weekly, pilates, Yin yoga (cannot wait to try hot pilates and yin). If you go in the morning the view is beautiful-classic San Francisco with a big sweep of Russian Hill in one direction and a view toward Washington Park in the other with picturesque cables climbing and descending Columbus Avenue. It just opened so I imagine more will be adde to the schedule but right now week days have either Bikram 90 minutes or the 60 minute series. Both are wonderful and the 60 minute series moves along at brisk pace so it really feels close to the intensity of the 90 minute. The studio is immaculate; it has two showers with lovely touches--like natural shampoos and soaps; the owner has put a lot of thought into the decor and created a lovely, almost spa-like atmosphere mingled with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Mats can be rented and one can buy electrolytes on-site. I am thrilled this studio has opened. It is my new home for hot yoga. The owner is very respectful, clearly highly organized, and kind in manners. The price for auto-monthly is competitive and fair and worth it, if you go at least twice a week. Jennifer is amazing as a teacher and one morning took the time to snap photos of my floor series with her I-phone so I would not be tempted to turn my head to see where my spine bends were at--she is a beautiful and inspiring teacher. Then she sent them all to me through airdrop after class and her feedback was wonderful and so...

A clean, beautiful and welcoming studio with outstanding hot yoga classes. The classes practiced steadily will change your life. It’s all intensely physical and has a serious following from a wide range of people—athletes, older people with chronic pain, people who work all day in chairs or on their feet and find they do not need meds with a steady practice of 2 to 3 times a week.

The owner is meticulous in maintaining the studio’s cleanliness, heat and class consistency. The classes are classic bikram in a gorgeous sunlit space with views of Russian hill from its second floor location. The fees are lower than other studios. It’s right across the street from the #30 bus and a short walk from the #45 that runs on Union. Hoping the studio can add a few more hot yoga classes to the schedule but there are enough to make an auto monthly worth it.

I cannot stress enough what a warm and kind atmosphere the studio cultivates. A blessing to the north beach...

SOL Hot Yoga is truly exceptional. The two primary qualities I look for in a hot yoga studio are quite simple: cleanliness and quality instruction — and this studio delivers both.

Every instructor has their own style, and I believe it’s up to us as students to adapt and learn from those differences. Contrary to a previous review that shared negative remarks about Beverly, I found her to be quite the opposite — exceptionally pleasant and highly skilled. Her teaching goes beyond simply reciting cues; she truly teaches you how to do each posture correctly and takes the time to help adjust them to your individual capacity.

A true teacher in every sense of the word — and that, to me, is one of the most important qualities in any yoga...
