For care teams & professional communities

Create room for the people behind the work.

YogaSOL brings live movement, breathwork, meditation, and mindful awareness into shared professional settings—shaped around the people, setting, and intentions of the gathering. The aim is to develop familiarity before the moment asks for it.

Meeting people where the work happens.

YogaSOL brings the science of stress and awareness, together with the wisdom of yoga, into perioperative culture. During an urgent operating-room moment, there is rarely time to step away, meditate, or begin a full practice. The work starts before that moment, with physicians and the full perioperative team: surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, CRNAs, technicians, assistants, and support professionals.

Repeated breath, movement, mindfulness, and reflection can help participants become more familiar with their own signals. Within the work, that familiarity may be available as one intentional breath, noticing or releasing unnecessary tension, or returning attention to the body, task, or team.

It is not about eliminating urgency or asking anyone to stop doing their job. It is about creating brief points of awareness that can support a steadier, more responsive presence before, within, and around demanding moments.

Be Well Within the Work.

CRNA500 RYT

Summer is a CRNA and 500 RYT. Her work has placed her in high-responsibility healthcare environments, while her own practice has given her a lasting relationship with movement, breathwork, meditation, and reflection. She understands that a full practice is not always possible in the moment.

YogaSOL grows from the meeting of those experiences: a deep respect for demanding work and a belief that the people doing it deserve practical, familiar ways to reconnect with themselves and one another.

YogaSOL is grounded in the belief that the culture of care begins with the people who create it. The work makes room for awareness, connection, and wellbeing within demanding professional environments.
