SolShine Mindful Yoga

Yoga & Wellness practices on St John USVI John. Our classes have a strong focus on increasing core strength, and flexibility.

{Who are we & what are we best at}

SolShine Stand Up Paddle Yoga classes are traditional Yoga classes taught on the water on floating boards. Your mat is a stand up paddleboard; the ocean is your studio and all the elements have been invited – sun, wind, water. SolShine SUP yoga + fitness is the first venture to combine stand up paddle boarding and fitness on the beautiful island of St. We take the concept of stand-up paddling and incorporate a wide range of fitness, including all levels of yoga, low-impact core strengthening, intervals, and race techniques. Our students will enjoy learning while adapting to the motion of the board, the continuous challenge to balance, and the focus required to ground while afloat. Standing up on a paddleboard gives you a unique perspective of both the water and the horizon. We will focus on using the prana breath for taking in the beauty of St John's natural surroundings. Our classes cater to all levels, from those with no prior yoga or SUP experience to serious practitioners of both.

What can I say?

What can I say that I have not said before?
So I’ll say it again.
The leaf has a song in it.
Stone is the face of patience.
Inside the river there is an unfinishable story
and you are somewhere in it
and it will never end until all ends.

Take your busy heart to the art museum and the
chamber of commerce
but take it also to the forest.
The song you heard singing in the leaf when you
were a child
is singing still.
I am of years lived, so far, seventy-four,
and the leaf is singing still.

Happy birthday to this one of a kind poet!! Thank you for inspiring us to be still, to be present and to cherish nature and all of its wonders.

St. John – That’s a wrap for the 2025 season!

Wow. What. A. Season. For the first time in 10 years, I spent the whole season here - and I’ve never felt more grounded or supported by this incredible community (and beyond!).

To everyone who came to class, shared a practice, sent referrals, or just cheered me on – THANK YOU. This small heart-led business keeps shining because of you. Your love, support, and dedication to the practice keep Solshines heart beating. You all keep me inspired to continue showing up, growing, and sharing everything I love with you.

This season was full of yoga, adventures, old friends, new faces, a kick-ass retreat, and an abundance of private and public classes. Now, I’m taking a little time to rest, travel, and deepen my own practice with some trainings.

Exciting things are ahead—2026 retreats are in the works, private classes are open for booking, and a full schedule of public classes will return for the next season.

I love you all. Thank you for being the heart of Solshine. Here’s to another season of connection, movement, adventures and sunshine together.

With so much gratitude,
Thais

✨Hey it’s me, Thais. You can also call me the prop queen if you’d like. 😽

If you have taken a class with me you know that I provide every prop available and insist that you know and understand that props are our best friend in our yoga practice.

Using props during yoga isn’t about making the pose “easier”—it’s about making the practice smarter. Props like straps, blocks, or bolsters help you find proper alignment, create space in the body, and allow you to safely deepen into each posture.

Do you have a favorite prop! Tell me how you like to use your props in your practice! ⬇️
