Yoga Sol ("Sun Yoga") was a studio in the center of Cartago, the old colonial capital about 25 km east of San José. Its aim was simple: to help students bring more calm, presence and steadiness into everyday life through regular practice.

The studio

In 2012 the studio was on the upper floor of a building near the old train station in central Cartago. The practice room was large and quiet, with soft lighting and warm colors.

The courses it offered

Yoga Sol taught in courses rather than single drop-in classes:

  • Yoga I, for beginners: postures, movement and breathing, and getting to know your own body.
  • Yoga II, for students ready to go deeper into the same foundations.
  • Yoga for older adults, with a slower pace and poses adapted for seniors.
  • Prenatal yoga, focused on breathing and relaxation during pregnancy.
