We are Sol Seek Yoga!

Welcome to Sol Seek Yoga, where movement meets mindfulness and community blossoms.  Nestled in the hearts of Manhattan Beach and Santa Barbara, Sol Seek is more than a yoga studio—it’s a sanctuary where individuals come together to explore, grow, and connect.

With a twenty-year legacy of inspiring practice, Sol Seek is built on the belief that yoga is a journey of transformation, both personal and collective. Our classes embrace the full spectrum of yoga, from invigorating flows to restorative yin, often paired with the healing vibrations of sound baths. At every step, we honor the roots of this practice while creating space for modern expressions of movement, mindfulness, and joy.

At Sol Seek, we cherish the humans, hearts, and energy that have built this community. Whether you’re stepping onto your mat for the first time or deepening a lifelong practice, you’ll find a warm, inclusive space that celebrates you just as you are. Let’s breathe, move, and grow together as we honor the past, embrace the present, and create a brighter future—one breath at a time.  We are Sol Seek Yoga, a community of bold, adventurous humans in pursuit of a joyful life!

Meet Justin + Greg

Sol Seek Owners

Meet Justin Randolph and Greg Cicchino, Sol Seek owners and proud LGBTQ+ community members, who bring their vibrant stories to Sol Seek Yoga.

Justin, a former professional actor, found solace in yoga during his early 20s, overcoming anxiety and body image challenges. Transitioning into a full-time yoga teacher in New York City, Justin’s journey intertwined with Greg's, a theater director from Rochester who also discovered yoga's introspective power in his 20s. Their shared passion led them to Los Angeles, embracing the West Coast’s natural beauty and slower pace of life.

In 2018, Justin and Greg became owners of Yoga Loft in Manhattan Beach, fostering a resilient community that thrived even through the pandemic. Their journey expanded with a second studio in El Porto in 2022, and acquired Sol Seek Yoga in Santa Barbara in 2023. Transforming all their studios into Sol Seek, they created a unified sanctuary for practice. "Sol Seek" symbolizes the inner journey towards self-discovery and enlightenment, celebrating diversity and honoring every body.

Studio Vision + Mantra

लोका: समस्ता: सुखिनो भवन्तु

At Sol Seek , our vision is to nurture a community where mindfulness, compassion, and connection thrive—on the mat and beyond. We believe that yoga is more than a practice; it’s a pathway to personal growth and collective harmony.

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
"May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all."

This ancient Sanskrit mantra is a guiding light for our studio. It reflects our commitment to creating a space where every practice contributes to peace, freedom, and happiness—not only for ourselves but for the world around us.  The mural was designed in 2019 by one of our teachers, Rian Basilio, who is also the artist who painted it in all three Sol Seek studios -- the Loft, El Porto, and Santa Barbara.

We are dedicated to making yoga accessible and creating a haven where all feel seen, heard, and valued. At Sol Seek Yoga, the mantra "May all beings be happy and free" is a heartfelt mission, inviting everyone to take action to join in a journey towards self-discovery and communal support.

Together, we breathe, move, and grow in service to something greater.
