Magda was drawn to yoga at a young age with the influence of her family and as she got older, she needed to find ways to reduce stress and find acceptance. Little did she realize that her journey would lead her to teach and discover more capabilities that she thought she never had even as she got older. This is what Madga wishes to share with you through her practice. Using yoga as a tool to find balance in the body, mind, and spirit. If you are here to find strength or stretch for athletics or to find peace of the mind, or balance with stress or maybe all of the above, we can work towards this lifestyle together.

A proud Heights local, she's thrilled to call Sol her home studio. Anu completed her certification at Abhaya Yoga in Dumbo under the guidance of Tara Glazer, deepening a practice rooted in hatha and ashtanga yoga. Moving through recovery from a traumatic back injury, she discovered first hand how profoundly stress, emotion, and mental tension live in the body. This experience became an unexpected teacher, drawing her to yin and restorative yoga styles. The slow, intentional nature taught her how to listen: to the body, the breath, and the quiet signals of the mind. That spirit of deep listening is at the heart of her practice. Her sessions weave together breath-focused techniques, tapping, long-held poses, and dynamic movement to help students gently release tension and stress held in the body - meeting you wherever you are and guiding you toward a little more ease. https://www.solspiritstudios.com/abigail-bohn daily 0.75 2026-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60edc25571c47f36154a1a62/572af421-d122-4cbd-ba3b-492f67911692/IMG_2205.jpeg Abigail Bohn Abigail Bohn Teacher With nearly a decade of experience in the Alexander Technique and a 200-RYT certification, Abigail brings a mindful, movement-focused approach to the mat.

Her classes are a playfully cosmic charcuterie board of sound, breath, and movement recipes that reference ancient Yogic texts and soma. First introduced to mindfulness and Yoga philosophy during childhood illness & trauma, she began a search for ways that kept the inner child safe, in awe, alive, and liberated from the confines of the human mind. After studying Media Culture, Art History + Journalism at university she went on to Hospitality and Non-Profit work, bringing a multilayered approach to teaching, and creating a deeply connective, collaborative, and authentically cinematic experience. She has studied with many influential teachers from different lineages since 2017 and is committed to inclusivity and accessibility as mutually dependent pathways - in the classroom and beyond. Chelsey is a court jester and jack-of-all trades. She leads various trainings, retreats + 1:1 therapeutic practice online and around the world. I read the room. My classes are spirited and versatile, ranging from structured + functional to cathartic + challenging. I am inspired by nature, history, and the body’s natural intelligence + ability to heal itself… curated sound and vibration will be utilized to tell a story that shifts us out of the critically thinking headspace. We focus on self-study and nervous system regulation by blending fluid and dynamic sequencing, alignment, meditation, mantra, nourishing restorative poses, and breath. My goal as a teacher is to honor yoga as personal, political, magical, and medicinal. https://www.solspiritstudios.com/store daily 0.75 57926-09-30
