Sydney Solis Live and in Person
If you’ve ever been captivated by Sydney Solis’ mesmerizing personality on video, in writing, or other media forms, wait till you see her in a live performance!
Sydney brings passion, energy, and creativity to all her live events. There’s nothing quite like seeing her in action, in person, living the philosophy behind Storytime Yoga™. When performing stories, Sydney goes deep into character to play fictional roles – changing voices, using props, and moving playfully before her audience.
While teaching yoga, she uses her soothing voice to calm students, helping them pay attention to their breathing, and guiding them into a state of greater awareness and enhanced mind/body connection.
Whether it’s a specially tailored yoga class for your school, a rejuvenating yoga retreat designed to connect body and soul, or a thought-provoking lecture on yoga philosophy, you and your kids/teens will enjoy Sydney’s spellbinding, engaging presentations.
