Practice is how we get there. Stillness is where we are going.
Built on ancient wisdoms for modern life. The practice is body, breath and mind: grounded, holistic, ancient wisdom in a modern context. Come as you are. Over time the practice stops being an hour on the mat and becomes how you carry yourself throughout your week.

All Solsoma flows follow the same curve: Grounding, Breath, Sol (heating), Soma (cooling) and Stillness (integration). What changes is where the summit sits, and how focus is divided between the build and ease.
Every flow follows the same bell curve: grounding, breathing, heating (Sol), cooling (Soma) and stillness. What changes is where the summit sits, and how the time is divided between the build and ease.

We honour the traditions and the science. Most importantly, we honour the person in front of us.
“When you are caught between two opposing pulls, wanting to go and not going, knowing and not knowing at the same time, let go of both and jump into the interval between.”
MICHELLE & CHRIS
Michelle and Chris explore all traditions yet could never ‘pick’ a single way. This turned out to be the whole point: the deeper they went, the more the roots were shared between all of them, as if the paths kept arriving at similar places with similar values.
That is what Solsoma shares. The whole spread, without the dogma. What speaks to you is yours to keep, and you can leave the rest. The depth of learning and practice is always there, whenever you want it. But it is never the price of entry.

Testimonials
Michelle's classes have always felt perfectly aligned with me, the vibe, pace and intensity keeping me coming back. She teaches with confidence but without ego, and very few teachers create a space people genuinely want to return to week after week.
The full story
Michelle's classes have always felt perfectly aligned with me. The vibe, style, pace, intensity, consistency all come together in a way that keeps me coming back.
She has a real ability to read the room, never forcing intensity unless that's where the class naturally wants to go. By creating an environment where there is no pressure to perform, she encourages you to work with your own body rather than compare yourself to anyone else.
Calm, intuitive and authentic, Michelle teaches with confidence but without ego, allowing each person to take what they need from the practice. There are plenty of yoga classes available, but very few teachers create an environment that people genuinely want to return to week after week. Michelle has found that balance, and I think that's what makes her classes special.
Michelle immediately understood the unique needs of this stage of motherhood, helping me create a practice that feels gentle, nurturing and accessible. Thoughtful and personalised, she really listens and takes the time to understand what you need.
The full story
As a yoga teacher, I really value having Michelle as a mentor, particularly while developing my teaching for a Mums & Bubs class. Michelle immediately understood the unique needs of this stage of motherhood and helped me create a practice that feels gentle, nurturing, accessible, and enjoyable for both mums and babies. She is so motivating, caring, and encouraging I never felt judged.
She provided gentle flow ideas, video recordings, and music suggestions that I could use as inspiration and incorporate into my own teaching.
I would describe Michelle's approach as thoughtful, nurturing, practical, and personalised. She really listens and takes the time to understand what you need. Her gentle guidance and willingness to share have all helped me feel more confident and prepared.
The ambience is always perfect, but it's the journey you're taken on, movement to breath, from beginning to end. A rhythmic journey that fulfils all the senses, where every minute in the class is a joy.

The ambience of the room is always perfect, with specially curated playlists that just seem to align so perfectly with every movement. But it's the journey that you are taken on, movement to breath, the whole way from beginning to end. It's a rhythmic journey that fulfils all the senses.
Michelle has given me the confidence to be me, no pressure to be anything else, and I feel safe and confident to be myself in my practice.
Her teaching approach is beautiful, calming, professional, playful, challenging, fulfilling, caring, soulful. Every minute in the class is a joy. It really allows me to connect with myself and my needs. Sometimes I don't even know what those needs are until I'm there, but Michelle seems to know before I even get there.

Michelle's classes have always felt perfectly aligned with me, the vibe, pace and intensity keeping me coming back. She teaches with confidence but without ego, and very few teachers create a space people genuinely want to return to week after week.
The full story
Michelle's classes have always felt perfectly aligned with me. The vibe, style, pace, intensity, consistency all come together in a way that keeps me coming back.
She has a real ability to read the room, never forcing intensity unless that's where the class naturally wants to go. By creating an environment where there is no pressure to perform, she encourages you to work with your own body rather than compare yourself to anyone else.
Calm, intuitive and authentic, Michelle teaches with confidence but without ego, allowing each person to take what they need from the practice. There are plenty of yoga classes available, but very few teachers create an environment that people genuinely want to return to week after week. Michelle has found that balance, and I think that's what makes her classes special.
Michelle immediately understood the unique needs of this stage of motherhood, helping me create a practice that feels gentle, nurturing and accessible. Thoughtful and personalised, she really listens and takes the time to understand what you need.
The full story
As a yoga teacher, I really value having Michelle as a mentor, particularly while developing my teaching for a Mums & Bubs class. Michelle immediately understood the unique needs of this stage of motherhood and helped me create a practice that feels gentle, nurturing, accessible, and enjoyable for both mums and babies. She is so motivating, caring, and encouraging I never felt judged.
She provided gentle flow ideas, video recordings, and music suggestions that I could use as inspiration and incorporate into my own teaching.
I would describe Michelle's approach as thoughtful, nurturing, practical, and personalised. She really listens and takes the time to understand what you need. Her gentle guidance and willingness to share have all helped me feel more confident and prepared.
The ambience is always perfect, but it's the journey you're taken on, movement to breath, from beginning to end. A rhythmic journey that fulfils all the senses, where every minute in the class is a joy.

The ambience of the room is always perfect, with specially curated playlists that just seem to align so perfectly with every movement. But it's the journey that you are taken on, movement to breath, the whole way from beginning to end. It's a rhythmic journey that fulfils all the senses.
Michelle has given me the confidence to be me, no pressure to be anything else, and I feel safe and confident to be myself in my practice.

Questions? We’re here to help.
Questions?
First time / never practiced before?
Most people feel awkward walking into their first class. That’s OK, we did too. Just tell your teacher when you arrive. Nothing in the class requires you to know what you are doing. You can find your way away around the studio and get set up without rushing.
What do I wear to class?
Wear what feels comfortable and that you can move in. When you arrive at the studio, remove your shoes before entering.
Coming back after a break?
Welcome back. You’re welcome to join any class as modifications are always offered. If you’re looking to ease back in, we recommend starting with a Soma Flow or Foundations class.
What do I bring?
Yourself, a drink bottle and a towel. We have mats, blocks, bolsters, blankets and secure lockers. If you like to use your own mat, bring it along. Filtered water is available outside the studio and tea is offered before and after class.
When should I arrive for Class?
At least 10 minutes early. We encourage everyone to be settled 5 minutes before class starts to avoid disruptions and to respect everyone’s practice.
I have a health condition / an injury / I am pregnant. Can I practice?
In most cases, yes. However, we may require a certificate or clearance from a registered practitioner depending on your personal circumstances. We will need you to let us know at the time of booking, or if you are dropping in, please discuss with your teacher privately. We will do our best to accommodate you and your needs, but we may not be able to in all situations.
Is there parking or public transportation close by?
Solsoma is a short walk from Gymea train station and can be accessed by bus. There is parking along Gymea Bay Road, Warburton Street and the surrounding area. Sometimes the area can be busy, so we recommend arriving early to find somewhere closeby.
