Sol Studios Fairfax

This studio is more than meets the eye. Teya and all the teacher’s provide a therapeutic and healing touch to anyone who is willing. As a post-​partum nurse who cries for help after four 12 hour shifts in a row, I crave these women and what they have to offer in class. It’s a beautiful space as well. Thank you for creating a place where I begin a class feeling vulnerable, weak and physically depleted and then slowly by listening to your wise words, powerful music, my physical strength becomes motivated to do my best. By the end of one class I am completely back in my body ready to take on another day and if time allows it, another class!

After my first week of daily yoga and dance classes at Sol Studios Fairfax, I am happy to report that the wonderful variety of classes, excellent instructors and the lovely space was perfect for me! Thank you, Teya Valentina Chavez for creating this place!

Such fun classes, best Friday night class ever at 6:15 — great teacher, AWESOME music and the best way ever to get over the work week. Actually all the M-​W-​F night classes rock. And… I’d never done yoga before I went here and I’m totally hooked and now that I’ve tried other places, this is really the best in Marin.

Beautiful, nurturing environment! Being new to the U. S, let alone California and Marin County, the looming thought of finding a place to call my yoga sanctuary was daunting. I had visited a few in the San Rafael area, but upon stepping foot into Sol Studios, I knew that this was it.
The owner, Teya, has a wonderful energy about her, and each of the teachers I’ve been blessed to share a practice with (namely Heather & Marc) have been nothing but professional and a deep joy to be in class with.
Unpretentious, calming and — if wanted — a good workout, I truly look forward to my special moments on the mat here at Sol Studios.

Heather’s class is the best yoga class I’ve ever taken. She is experienced, knowledgeable, and so calming practice with. I get a great workout – but never feel that competitive edge that some yoga classes have. It’s easy to pull back in her class if I’m not feeling well, or to move into more advanced poses if I feel ready. It’s great for all levels! Most of all she is gentle, calm and radiates positive energy to everyone.

Love, love, love Sol Studios! I am new to the area and to yoga and have been made to feel so welcome and comfortable. Great instructors, with great instruction and feedback during class. I always leave feeling that I have done something great for myself by showing up. No pressure to attempt things that I’m not ready for. Very happy to have found this great community within my new home town.

Amazing place. Not only are there amazing teachers, teaching a variety of styles of yoga (Marc in particular is an amazing instructor), but Teya teaches her Valentina Method dance class 2 days a week, with a great «Core» class two days a week. It’s a clean, airy, friendly and intimate space. I never feel too crowded out, even when the class is full. The attitude here is one of support and introspection. Lots of humor and not taking oneself too seriously. I’ve felt no competition or pressure to do things I wasn’t ready to do physically in class — in fact, the opposite, nothing but support to modify poses and rest if need be. It’s a healing, supportive and energizing place. Would give 10 stars if I could.

I love this studio! The teachers are all very experienced, knowledgeable and
provide alternate instructions during class so that if you are a seasoned yogi you will be challenged and if you are a newbie, you can follow and keep it simple if you need to. The atmosphere is totally chill and welcoming. There is a super-​friendly vibe and I always leave feeling uplifted! Just some background – I’ve been practicing yoga for nearly twenty years, mostly in NYC and did my teacher training at OM Yoga in NYC. I’ve been to nearly all of the major studios in Marin and this one is my fave!

I am so happy to have found Sol Studio. Such a beautiful sunny space, wonderful caring and knowledgeable teachers and generally a wonderful vibe. Teya’s dance class is always one of the high points of my week. I am so grateful to have Sol so close to home. Thank you Teya and Chris.

For years I had a great dance ‘home’ with an amazing teacher and fellow students who became friends.
After our teacher moved away, we’ve all drifted off in different directions trying to find that elusive something special we had experienced together. After having 3 friends from the old World Dance Fitness studio recommend Teya’s ‘Valentina Dance Method’ for several months, I finally made it to Sol Studios this week. What a revelation!
After 2 classes, combining latin and ballet techniques, I’m already in love with Teya and her joyful, energetic, sensual and passionate dance style. Her way of sharing dance with her students is upbeat, inclusive, encouraging and she holds the space for everyone to celebrate their inner dancer spirit whatever their physical capabilities.
The studio is intimate, serene and clean with a sprung floor which is great for barefoot dancing. Outside there’s the sound of a waterfall, inside there’s reach-into-your-hips-&-grab-you music that makes it impossible not to move.

Thanks Linda, Lisa and Phyllis for getting me to the ‘Sol’ and thank you Teya, for opening your wonderful studio. I’m so grateful to have this treasure in my back yard.

After spending the past two years conforming to the regiment of Bikram yoga, I chanced upon Sol Studios. A nice find indeed. Perfect temp for some hot power yoga without making me want to run from the room. Wendy’s class and Teya’s classes are each unique, fun, challenging with unexpected poses along the way. The place and the people have AWESOME energy. And there’s a shower to boot!

Sol Studio has the soothing energy, fabulous teachers, and variety of classes that keep me coming back for more! Everyone I have told about this rare «find» have either started yoga after their «first class» or switched to this studio. Sol Studios truly has something for everyone.
In the tradition of yoga, there are even concerts with great music and dancing! We are so blessed to have this lovely space in our neck of the woods.
