Press Pause

What is the act of pressing pause? It can be numerous things but at its essence it is using your greatest asset--Time--to acknowledge the needs of your being through nurturing yourself.

Nestled in the heart of the Riverside historic district in Jacksonville, Florida, we offer a thoughtfully curated space for movement, restoration, and connection. Our offerings include yoga classes, spa services, immersive workshops, yoga teacher trainings, and destination retreats that invite deeper connection and renewal.

A Message from
Our Founders

The idea of Soluna began long before we opened our doors.

We met at the University of North Florida in 2004, where our connection to yoga and meditation first began. After graduation, we moved to Portland, Oregon, and eventually found our way to Costa Rica in 2008. It was there, immersed in the Pura Vida lifestyle, that our practice truly deepened. Dori became a certified yoga teacher and began leading classes, retreats, and teacher trainings.

We married in New Orleans, Christian’s hometown, in 2011 and welcomed our daughter in 2013. Later that year, family brought us back to the States, but we carried with us a deep appreciation for the slower, more intentional way of living we had experienced in Costa Rica.

In 2014, we opened Soluna to bring a little of that spirit into everyday life. At the heart of what we do is a simple belief: there is power in pressing pause. Making space to move, restore, and reconnect allows us to show up more fully for ourselves and the people around us.

Soluna reflects two energies. Sol represents our more energetic, challenging classes, practices that build strength and focus. Luna represents our calming, nurturing classes, practices that invite you to slow down and restore. Each is thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are.

Today, Soluna is a small, family-owned studio and spa in the heart of Jacksonville’s historic Five Points. We’re proud to build community one class and spa experience at a time, creating a place where you can step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, and simply press pause.

That is the heart of Soluna.

Many Blessings,
Dori and Christian Thomsen
