Came here for my first yoga class in ages. The class was great, though it went a bit fast (IMO) for…read moretrue beginners (aka first timers). Thankfully I'd tried it a few times in the past, so I wasn't lost. I wasn't expecting 1-on-1 instruction though, so it was fine. The instructor made me feel very comfortable choosing to do modified moves when the arthritis in my knees forced me to do something else. I love that we were instructed to use blocks and pillows and blankets as needed to aid us with our balance or stretching or to cushion our knees or rear. The classes I'd taken in the past (elsewhere) never had those.

My daughter who lives in Cali came home for Christmas, and she got me an unlimited trial membership…read morefor this studio. I have never done an actual yoga class, so I was definitely intimidated at first. Well starting from the very first class, I felt so welcomed. I've taken about 6 classes so far from beginning yoga to hot yoga, cycle class, Pilates, and gentle yoga. I enjoyed every single class, and even though it's only been about two weeks I'm definitely feeling the difference in my body! I leave every class with a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction that I completed the class! I've been challenged for sure and I absolutely want to stick to this new way of life! I'm not sure I can afford a membership after my trial runs out, but I'm going to look into it. On the day's we didn't make it to the studio, I did classes on YouTube, but it's just not the same. I love being in the class setting and having the instructor's right there. I'm hoping so much that I'll be able to do it financially. Everyone here is so nice and makes you feel so welcome. The instructor's are also so good at giving you the individual instruction you need, I told them I'm new to this and they really work with you when your a beginner. This was by far the best Christmas gift my daughter has ever gotten me!!!

I have been a client here for nearly two years and feel the massage therapists working here are…read moreoverall very skilled and professional. You can't go wrong with any of them and they're the real reason to visit this massage studio. The massage rooms and tables are extremely comfortable, the bathrooms are sparkling clean, and the float tanks are a really cool experience as well. There is a beautiful sauna area that's very Instagram worthy. All of the areas where you receive a service feel very serene, spa-like, and upscale. Meredith is a lovely person and makes really good use of aromatherapy and long holds or pauses in her massage that make you feel super relaxed and zen. She is certified in pregnancy massage and does a great job. Marcus has super strong hands, is ideal to see if you're looking for deep tissue massage, and makes good use of hot stones and warm towels. Ben is great as well, did some passive stretching along with the massage for tight areas. Karen seems to intuitively know the perfect amount of pressure to use and does the best head and face massage ever. My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that the entrance and waiting area you sit in prior to your massage/float doesn't really match the atmosphere of the other rooms. I think it's a little too kitsch and cluttered and reminds me of walking into a small store that feels very casual and doesn't have the ambiance of the massage rooms. Unfortunately not very "Instagram worthy". There's a lot of stuff for sale that isn't directly related to massage or even wellness, such as bohemian style clothing, silver jewelry, wind chimes, etc. The Speakeasy room has relatively uncomfortable seating (there are two firm, backless benches and just two chairs with a low back), more displays of non-massage related things for sale (such as non alcoholic refrigerated drinks, candies, books, artwork, etc.), large displays of business cards and fliers for other local businesses, and dark furniture which just makes the room feel small and cluttered. You sort of feel like you are waiting in a shop rather than being a member at an upscale massage and wellness studio. The self serve tea display is really, really nice but just gets lost in the clutter/decor/fliers. And my only other gripe is that the infrared sauna is preset to a really, really high temperature (maybe higher than spa saunas I have used elsewhere) and I was told it doesn't allow for adjustments. I was excited to use the sauna but couldn't tolerate it more than a few minutes at a time. During my sauna session I simply had to exit the sauna every few minutes to cool off a bit. I realize this is maybe because I am a sauna newbie but I do wish there was an "intro to sauna" setting for those like me to use. In summary: great services, great massage therapists, kitschy entryway/waiting area design which is absolutely not a dealbreaker

I then received an email that I would not be charged for the cancelled massage.

I DIDN'T CANCEL. And there is no mention of a forgiveness policy in the paperwork I signed should I have needed it.

Sol is as good as it gets. To preface, I've been practicing (and just recently got RYT-200…read morecertified) for 10+ years. Having been to many studios over the years, I've become quite discerning. Yoga isn't cheap and I'm picky about where I practice yoga for that reason. Much of my practice takes place at home but that's about to change now that I moved to Frederick. Stopped in over the weekend to give Sol a try and purchased the 2-week new student special for $25. I've taken two classes already, gentle yoga and a vinyasa flow (all levels). Wonderful vibe, excellent instructors, tons of class offerings/workshops and reasonable prices. They offer all sorts of options; if you're not interested in packages you can drop in and they offer discounted rates for some of their classes, just check the schedule. You can pay online or in person. I love that they offer complementary hot tea, by local tea shop Voila which is only minutes down the road. I've reviewed them as well (5 stars.. amazing tea). Not only am I so happy to now be living in Frederick, but the icing on the cake is that I have a wonderful yoga studio I can come to all the time to help me sustain my personal practice. Helpful tip: there's a parking lot in the back, it's on the left side of Patrick St right before you get to Sol. It's free :)

I've been coming here for pre-natal yoga classes and so far, I really like the instructors and…read moreclasses. I'd never done yoga before but I figured pre-natal classes wouldn't be too hard since we fatsos can't move too quickly. Well, the instructors make sure you move and change poses carefully but that doesn't mean you don't get a workout! Particularly after Keri's class, I left with sore muscles and feeling like I'd had my first real workout in months! The front desk staff is very friendly and you can rent mats or buy water there. They also offer tea, which is a nice touch. If you're worried about your class filling up, making resevations via the online system is a breeze. I don't have other studios to compare Sol Yoga to but the rooms are large so that people aren't jammed in next to each other. The building also has its own parking lot in back which is almost unheard of in downtown Frederick. Namaste!

They have this circular studio they added on too their house, with yoga rooms, massage and energy work rooms, and other classes.

I am the only dude, I was looking for a little more in the way of a work out but the wife is pregnant so this is good for her breathing and centering of self. They give first lessons free, and are fairly reasonably prices, the prices seemed fair. Bottom line, if you live in Olney or Southern Howard Co, and looking for some meditative yoga, this is your place.
