Our Story

Soular Yoga began in 2017 when Emilee saw a need for a new kind of yoga in Salem, OR. Teaching in various settings and getting to know the community in a new way generated an approach that aims to access the deepest struggles in our local scene.

Soular Yoga’s mission is to open the door for the best self to come shining through, beginning with courageous awareness. When the best self rises up, our community will grow in leaps and bounds.
