About

Encinitas yoga instruction has centered on Soul of Yoga since 2001, when the studio launched on Encinitas Boulevard from a home practice rooted in Self Realization Fellowship tradition. The daily schedule cycles through Hatha, Kundalini, Vinyasa, Yin, restorative, prenatal, and Yoga Nidra formats — a breadth of programming that complements the therapeutic bodywork modalities at Four Moons Spa along South Coast Highway 101. Soul of Yoga holds IAYT accreditation for its yoga therapy certification, placing it among approximately 25 programs globally authorized to train yoga therapists through the International Association of Yoga Therapists. QiGong, Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement, and sound-healing sessions share the weekly calendar with core asana classes, extending the studio's programming well beyond standard vinyasa-and-yin offerings. Online streaming mirrors the in-person schedule for remote practitioners, while the Encinitas Boulevard campus anchors a wellness corridor that includes plant-based dining at Lotus Cafe & Juice Bar. The 1,000-hour yoga therapy certification pathway requires supervised clinical practicum integrating Ayurvedic constitution assessment, pranayama protocols, and individualized therapeutic sequencing under IAYT-accredited faculty.
