Yoga Sanctuary in the Heart of Encinitas

Soul of Yoga is more than a place to attend a class. Our Encinitas yoga studio is designed as a sanctuary where students step away from the pace of daily life and reconnect with breath, body, and community. Inside the studio you’ll find warm practice spaces, thoughtful teachers, and a community that welcomes both new and longtime practitioners. For students who travel or live outside the area, many classes are also available online so you can stay connected to the practice wherever you are.

Many students first arrive looking for a yoga class near them in Encinitas. What they discover is often much more than a class. Over time, practice becomes a meaningful part of daily life, a place to reconnect, grow, and build lasting friendships within the Soul of Yoga community.

“The teacher training program at the Soul of Yoga has been formulated by a body of incredible human beings, each of whom has dedicated their lives to serving others and providing Yoga for the world. The program is thoughtful, effective, and gives the participants a fantastic education in the history, philosophy and practices of Yoga. The course does a great job covering each of the major modern lineages along with a look into the historical texts of the Bhagavad Gita and the Vedic traditions.
