Sol is a Canadian yogi trained in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and functional anatomy and physiology, who has been supporting students through self-discovery for over 7 years. Her curiosity as a teacher is fueled by the body’s ability to shapeshift and support our daily requirements which translates on the mat as fun, dynamic movement! Inspired by her own healing experience, Sol’s guidance in class focuses on feeling and deeply tuning in to the experience by paying particular attention to the connective tissue in order to move with more ease on and off the mat.

Born to immigrant parents under a bright African sky Leila at the age of three was introduced to Classical Ballet which has always been a pinnacle and scaffolding of all other movement therapies and disciplines she has studied. At the age of 21 whilst living in Mexico Leila embraced the Siddha Yoga Path. A spiritual path of discipline and a path imbued with grace. Hatha Yoga was her first introduction to a physical yoga practice, focusing on postures and breathing to channel vital energy sources. All the while raising a family, travelling the world and finally settling in Auckland, New Zealand where by absolute chance ( or not) she found herself in a Kundalini Yoga class. This was a pivotal moment as in her own words” This was everything I ever wanted from a yoga practice! Music, breath, postures and meditation allowing a deep inward journey. A true dance of body, mind and soul” Leila trained at the Golden Yogi and dedicated herself to the transmission of this ancient and powerful form of Yoga.

I am passionate about pilates because it's a sport without competition and pressure, but about physical and mental health, which directly affects our immunity, which is most important for the time we now live in. I enjoy it when clients can relax and are happy while doing exercise. I was born in South Africa and raised in Germany. I moved back to SA in the late 90s and worked for a while as a nursing sister in ICU before I started another career in the fitness industry. Besides teaching aerobics and personal training, I was a part of a hip-hop dance group. I got introduced to pilates due to an injury in 2001, and decided to study the art of pilates at Renee Watson Pilates Studio, with a good friend and mentor. I completed my teacher training in 2003. My husband, Chad, a Chiropractor and former professional triathlete, and two children, ages 14 and 16, moved to New Zealand to join family in April 2021. I love the outdoors, animals, and especially horses, competing in long-distance riding.
