About Salt & Soul

Founded in 2016, Salt & Soul is all about authentic yoga and mindful movement in a beautiful welcoming space in Strandhill, Sligo.

Our Location — Strandhill, Sligo, along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way

A little studio by the sea, Salt & Soul is tucked away in the heart of Strandhill Village, just a short stroll from the Atlantic Ocean.

We’re lucky to call this place home - with the sea, mountains and Wild Atlantic Way right on our doorstep. Come for your practice, then stay for a coffee, a coastal walk or a bite to eat in one of the brilliant local cafés and restaurants.

There’s plenty of parking nearby, and everything you need is within walking distance.

Meet Rachel — Founder

Rachel is the founder of Salt & Soul, a certified yoga teacher and mum of four, whose personal journey toward balance became the foundation for this community. Her mission is simple:

to offer a welcoming, inclusive space where people feel supported in their wellbeing, with the sea at the doorstep and kindness at the centre.

Her teaching blends knowledge with warmth, and her belief that movement and breath can reconnect us to ourselves informs everything we do. When she’s not teaching or welcoming people through the studio doors, Rachel loves exploring the coast with her family and blending simple, nourishing life practices into everyday living.

Our Philosophy and Our Teachers

At Salt & Soul, our mission is to nurture a mindful, strong, and supportive community through movement, breath, and awareness. Our teachers are trained in traditional lineages, bringing depth, knowledge, and personality to every class.

We value authenticity. Each of our remarkable teachers brings their own voice, experience, and style, which means no two classes are ever the same. This creates a studio environment that feels personal, heart-led, and rooted in genuine connection.

We are committed to creating a space where you feel comfortable and truly at home here.

Our Studio

Our studio is thoughtfully designed to feel calm, warm, and welcoming, using low lighting to create a space that feels safe, cosy, and grounding. It is a chemical-free environment where you can truly slow down and arrive.

Whether you’re completely new to yoga or have practiced for years, you’ll find classes that meet you where you are, supporting your body, your energy, and your intentions.

If you’re ever unsure where to begin, we’re here to help. Reach out and we’ll gently guide you toward the class that feels right for you.

Salt & Soul Yoga Studio is a proud regional finalist in the Ireland's Best Young Entrepreneur Competition 2017 and 2018.
