About the Owner
Elizabeth Barrera brings over a decade of experience in the fashion industry, where she thrived as an Account Executive, consistently exceeding sales goals and even launching her own children’s clothing brand after the birth of her daughter in 2015. With a strong foundation in sales, marketing, and business strategy, Elizabeth’s professional journey was marked by success—but her most profound transformation came in 2019.
That year, Elizabeth experienced a spiritual awakening during one of the hardest times of her life. After going through a divorce, losing her home, and facing financial instability, she found herself in the worst mental state she had ever experienced. She often jokes that she had to lose it all to find herself. Through yoga, meditation, and energy healing, she began to reconnect with her higher self (true self) and rediscover her strength, purpose, and inner peace.
Fueled by a deep desire to help others find their own grounding and inner peace, Elizabeth opened Sol Spirit Yoga & Wellness in 2021. Her mission is to create a supportive space where people can explore self-discovery, healing, and transformation through the practices that changed her life.
Elizabeth’s approach is rooted in both the ancient spiritual wisdom of yoga—a path that reconnects us to our inner truth, intuition, and soul—and in modern neuroscience and psychological research that affirms the profound healing potential of mind-body practices. Studies continue to show that yoga, meditation, breathwork, and community connection regulate the nervous system, reduce cortisol levels, and improve emotional resilience, focus, and overall mental health.
In 2024, Elizabeth expanded her vision with a second location in Montclair, continuing to serve and uplift a growing community seeking balance, clarity, and connection.
Elizabeth believes we all have the power to heal ourselves from the inside out—starting with our mindset. As an intuitive channel, she loves to show others how to reconnect with their energy, shift their consciousness, and begin healing from within.
