SOL SEEK 101

Welcome! Every single person who has done yoga has started as a beginner :).

Whether you're super bendy or can't touch your toes, spiritual or atheist, or if you believe you’re too much of one thing or too little of another thing - yoga is for everyone.

Most beginners start with a New Member Special (solseekyoga.com/new) and take “Slow Flow” and “Yin” classes. Flow classes are designed for all levels. The more classes you take, the more familiar with the poses you become!

YES! At Sol Seek, we offer a wide range of classes, many of which are suitable for everyone regardless of experience, fitness level, and yes, even flexibility. Our highly qualified instructors have been trained to offer modifications for most injuries.

As always, please seek medical clearance before beginning any new physical fitness activity. Always talk to the instructor before class and alert them to any concerns you have. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or if you need a recommendation on where to start.

We specialize in creative flow (vinyasa) style yoga classes, but we're dedicated to offering a diversity of classes that meet students right where they are.

We also offer fitness classes for those who want variety in their classes. If you're looking for a workout, check out a Burn or HIIT class.

Our studio in El Porto is primarily a hot yoga studio. Warm classes will range between 85-95 degrees and our sweatiest classes will be between 100-110 degrees.

All classes at our Downtown Manhattan Beach and Santa Barbara locations are unheated, but that doesn't mean you won't work up a sweat in the right class!

We’re happy to offer showers and lockers at our El Porto studio!

Our downtown Manhattan Beach and Santa Barbara locations don’t have showers, but we offer scented towels after every class so you can freshen up before you go about your day. :)

Yourself - as you are! Also, your favorite yoga mat (or rent one from us). We recommend a large towel under your mat for outdoor classes to keep it clean.

Check out our outdoor class locations at the following link: https://solseekyoga.com/outdoor

For virtual classes, you must sign up for class at least 10 minutes before the start time; otherwise, you won’t receive the Zoom link.

For in-studio and outdoor classes - we highly recommend that you sign up in advance! Our in-studio classes may fill up, so reserve your spot early.

The easiest way register for class is through our mobile app!

We offer mat rentals for $3 (or Free if you're on a New Member Special/ Membership) and we don’t offer towels. We have props (blocks, straps, blankets, and weights) for everyone to use.

Please bring your own everything! We don't offer mats, towels, or props at outdoor classes.

Life happens! We appreciate your efforts to always try to arrive at least 10-15 minutes before class. For the safety and security of our Sol Seekers, we lock the doors to the studio 5 minutes after class has started. 

If you arrive within the first 5 minutes of class, you may be asked to wait until opening meditation is complete.

If you are going to be more than 5 minutes late we recommend that you take another class on the schedule.

Our capacity for in-studio classes is very limited and sometimes sell out. If you need to a cancel class, please do so ASAP following the instructions here: solseekyoga.com/cancel-class

Late cancels within 2 hours at the Loft and Santa Barbara and 6 hours at El Porto and no-shows will result in a fee.

All autopay memberships have a 3-month minimum commitment!

After your 3-month commitment period, memberships must be canceled at least 7 days before your next billing date following the instructions here: solseekyoga.com/cancel

All purchases including classes, events, and trainings are non-refundable. 

We’re happy to extend class packs for medical reasons.

For all other reasons, we can roll over your expired classes to a new class pack! For example, if you have 2 classes left on a 10 class pack, you can purchase a new pack and we’ll tack on your old 2 classes; giving you now 12 classes to use in 4 months.

To roll over expired classes, send us a message!

Our minimum age is 12 years old. Kids 12 - 13 must attend with a parent or legal guardian. 14 - 17-year-olds may take class alone with explicit consent from their parent.

We do not offer childcare at any studio location.

We love meeting teachers! 

If you’re interested in teaching with us the best thing to do is come take class so you can get a feel for our community, meet our staff, and connect with our managers to let them know that you’re interested in teaching.

Genuine interest in our community is really the first step. We do not accept unsolicited resumes via email or calls.
