STUDIO
Practice. Breathe. Live.
Soul Yoga is a safe space for every BODY! Located in downtown Salisbury, Maryland we provide more than just typical “yoga classes” to the diverse population on the Eastern Shore! Our yoga classes are facilitated by instructors who have completed at least 200 hours of training and work hard to make sure they are providing a body inclusive environment. Our community is diverse, welcoming, and encouraging! You’ll practice with people of all races, identities, and socioeconomic groups.
At Soul Yoga we weave all 8 limbs of yoga into daily classes, workshops and special offerings as a way of honoring the brown and black men & women from the subcontinent of India who developed and shared yoga with the western world. We acknowledge that yoga has been colonized by the West and are doing the following to do our part in decolonizing yoga and honoring yoga’s orgin:
Utilizing Sanskirt in class,
Eliminating the use of namaste at the end of class,
Providing a book study group to the teachers and students to reflect on cultural appropriation & racism and how we can eliminate that from our teaching and practices,
Donating a portion of the annual profits to a local group that supports marginalized groups.
Soul Yoga practices on land (currently called Salisbury, Maryland) taken from the Wighcocomoco or Wicomico, the Nause, the Kusk'arawack, and the Nantaquack/Nentego/Nanticoke peoples who were part of the Algonquin Nation. To learn more about the land you are living on, please visit Native Land.

We strive to weave each of the 8 limbs of yoga into our classes, workshops, and special events. Our ultimate goal is for our students to integrate the 8 limbs of yoga into their lives off the mat as well as on the mat.
