Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Lara, the founder of this studio. I have been practicing yoga for over five years, but my love for movement has only grown since then. 

I have always been drawn to the deeper meaning behind what the sun (sol) and the moon (luna) can represent. The sun and the moon – both very powerful and beautiful in their own way – have opposing meanings. The sun (a masculine energy), represents light, power and strength, while the moon (a feminine energy) represents darkness, calm and eternity. Together, they represent a unification of opposing forces. 

The beauty of the relationship between the sun and the moon, is that the true meaning is in the eye of the beholder. While some may view the two as complimentary, others may view them as complete opposites. These different interpretations and underlying meanings can hold value and purpose differently for everyone – much like the practice of yoga.  

While hardship and challenge will often push us to our limits, there is a need for opposition in life. In order to truly experience what is good, we must experience the bad. We must have moments of darkness, in order to see the light. For every action, there is a resulting reaction. The relationship between the sun and the moon is a powerful reminder that we all need to seek balance in life. Life will continue to challenge you and throw you in different directions, but how you react to each challenge is all based on perspective.  

At the root of this relationship, whatever your interpretation may be, we can take comfort in knowing the sun and moon will rise and set each day. This serves as a continuous reminder that every day is a fresh start, with new experiences and new opportunities.

​

Now that you know a little bit more about the meaning behind SOLUNA, we hope you can come experience everything we have to offer and connect to your inner self. See you on your mat with nothing but you, the sun and the moon. 

                     NAMASTE!
