Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome! We’re so excited to meet you soon. Most people start with the New Member Special: solseekyoga.com/new
This offer is built specifically for new Sol Seekers and gives you the opportunity to explore all of our classes and locations and get to know the community!
You can either sign up online or visit us in the studio 15 minutes before your first class to get set up. :)

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!

Just a few things :)
Please refrain from wearing anything with a strong scent in the studio.
Please leave your cell phone (on silent) in a cubby outside the studio. Our studio space is device-free to create the ultimate mindful experience.
Please put your shoes on when you go to the restroom. The restroom in the Sun Room (Santa Barbara) is not available to use during class.
Arrive 15 minutes early to get checked in and settled.
During class, refrain from speaking aloud to your neighbors. If you have a question during class, wave your teacher over or ask after class.
Stay for savasana! This is a special time in our practice and we don't want to interrupt the tranquility of others in the room. If you need to leave early, please let your teacher know and leave before savasana begins.

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.

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!

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

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.

We love dogs, but we don’t offer pet sitting! So while you’re welcome to bring your dog in on a leash to grab a treat or get a sip of water, we do not allow dogs to hang out in the lobby without their owner or take class with their owner (unless they’re an ADA service dog).

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.
