OUR STORY:
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 took over 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 a pivotal connection with Jill Agonias in 2020 led to the acquisition of 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.
As proud gay men who value acceptance, Justin and Greg 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 join their radiant journey towards self-discovery and communal support.
