ORIGIN & STORY

PURPOSE
Sol Mind Moves is a fitness studio & virtual class library created by Zurishaddai Ruiz Neira. It is a subscription service offering movement classes focused on joint health & mindfulness.
Sol Mind Moves also offer livestream classes, workshops, and private classes.

VISION
While many folks start a yoga practice with a physical goal in mind, my desire to begin a yoga practice (and later create my own business) came from my challenges with trauma and mental illness. At Sol Mind Moves we use movement as a tool to support both mind and body, in a functional rather than a perfectionist or superficial manner.

“For many Indigenous peoples, including the Taíno people of Borikén (where I am from), the Sun represents life. The Sun has long been recognized as a mighty god who delivers strength and longevity to the people and Earth.

In Yogic context- otherwise known as ancient wisdom developed over thousands of years by the Indigenous people of the Indian subcontinent the Sun provides life, intelligence, and consciousness.
For this reason, I’ve named this space, Sol Mind Moves.”
