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.
