When Soul Shine Yoga opened its doors in downtown Fairhope in the summer of 2014, owner Emily Sommerville gathered a team of 10 passionate yoga teachers to provide a welcoming, inspirational hot yoga experience. Today, even in the midst of COVID-19, Soul Shine is a thriving yoga community offering classes in its downtown Fairhope studio, outside on the bluff overlooking Mobile Bay and now online with Soul Shine On Demand.

“This year has been full of challenges and opportunities—the opportunity to realize what a strong yoga community we have, the opportunity to learn and grow and adapt together and the challenge inherent in discovering new ways to lead and share our yoga practice as teachers and students,” says Sommerville. “I’m excited about our growing virtual yoga community and learning to connect in a new way with students in Baldwin County and beyond.”

In addition to group classes, Sommerville and other Soul Shine teachers are available for individual yoga, reiki and wellness coaching sessions to foster self-care and promote overall health and wellness. The next Soul Shine 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training begins virtually this month (registration is open until October 1).
