About SoulStretch
Your sanctuary for feminine wellness, mindful movement, and inner peace through the transformative practice of yoga
Our Story & Mission
Empowering Women Through Mindful Movement
SoulStretch was born from a deep understanding that women's bodies and minds require specialized care and attention. Founded in 2019, our platform emerged from the vision of creating an accessible, nurturing space where women of all ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels could discover the profound benefits of yoga for women tailored specifically to their unique physiological and emotional needs.
We recognized that traditional yoga classes often overlooked the specific challenges women face—hormonal fluctuations, stress from balancing multiple roles, body image concerns, and the need for practices that honor the feminine cycle. SoulStretch bridges this gap by offering online yoga classes designed with women's wellness at the forefront.
Accessible Wellness for Every Woman
Our mission is simple yet profound: to make yoga accessible to every woman, regardless of where she is in her wellness journey. Whether you're a complete beginner taking your first steps into beginner yoga, or an experienced practitioner seeking to deepen your home yoga practice, SoulStretch provides the guidance, support, and community you need.
We believe that wellness shouldn't be complicated or intimidating. That's why we've created a platform that brings the studio experience directly to your home, allowing you to practice at your own pace, on your own schedule. From morning yoga sequences that energize your day to evening practices that help you unwind, we're here to support your journey every step of the way.
"Yoga is not about touching your toes. It's about what you learn on the way down—about listening to your body, honoring your limits, and discovering your inner strength."

Our Approach to Teaching
Beginner-Friendly Foundation
We believe that everyone should feel welcome and capable when starting their yoga journey. Our beginner yoga programs break down basic yoga poses into simple, achievable steps. We explain not just how to do each pose, but why it benefits your body and how to modify it for your unique needs.
New to yoga? Start with our "Yoga Foundations" series, where we introduce essential poses, breathing techniques, and mindfulness practices in short, manageable sessions. You'll build confidence and competence gradually, never feeling overwhelmed or intimidated.
Each class includes detailed verbal cues, multiple camera angles, and demonstrations of modifications. We emphasize that yoga is not about perfection—it's about progress, self-awareness, and honoring where you are today.
Home Yoga Practice Made Easy
Creating a sustainable home yoga practice can be challenging, but we make it simple. Our classes are designed specifically for home environments—no fancy equipment needed, just a mat and comfortable space. We show you how to use household items as props and adapt poses for small spaces.
Our home yoga practice library includes classes of varying lengths (10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes) so you can always find something that fits your schedule. Whether you have just 10 minutes before work or a full hour on the weekend, we have a practice for you.
We also provide guidance on creating your own sacred space at home—tips for setting up your practice area, choosing the right time of day, and building consistency without pressure or guilt.
