Move differently. Meet life differently.
Modern life is asking more of the human nervous system than ever before.
More information.
More stimulation.
More urgency.
More decisions.
More pressure.
Yet most of us were never taught how to build the capacity to hold it all.
That's why we created the Sol Method.
A Somatic Yoga Method built for modern life.
It's as if yoga and neuroscience had a baby.
From yoga, we draw the practices that have helped humans reconnect with themselves for thousands of years—breath, mindful movement, presence and deep rest.
From neuroscience, we draw a practical understanding of the nervous system, stress physiology and neuroplasticity—giving us a language that helps us understand ourselves and apply these practices to everyday life.
Sol Method was created for the people who want both.
The timeless wisdom of yoga.
The practical understanding of neuroscience.
Because we believe it's the combination that creates lasting change in today's world.
Through presence, breath, movement, embodiment, community and lifestyle, we help people build nervous system capacity—so they can navigate modern life with greater presence, resilience, adaptability and ease.
Because the goal isn't to escape modern life.
It's to build the capacity to hold it.
Helping humans build the capacity to hold modern life.
Why We Exist.
We created Sol Method because information isn't transformation.
We live in a world overflowing with information and starving for embodiment.
Never before have we had greater access to knowledge.
Podcasts.
Books.
Courses.
Experts.
Advice.
Yet many people still feel overwhelmed, disconnected, exhausted, reactive, and stretched beyond their capacity.
Because knowing what to do and being able to do it are often two very different things.
You can know stress is impacting your health and still struggle to slow down.
You can know rest is important and still find it difficult to stop.
You can know what supports your wellbeing and still feel stuck in the same patterns.
Because information alone doesn't change how you feel.
The body must be included.
Transformation happens when knowledge becomes embodied.
When what you know becomes something you can actually live.
At Sol Method, we believe one of the most important skills of modern life is learning how to work with the body carrying modern life.
The body carrying the pressure.
The body carrying the stress.
The body carrying the pace.
The body carrying the accumulation of everything you've experienced.
That's why we created Sol Method.
To offer a practical approach to nervous system training that helps people move beyond simply understanding themselves and into building a relationship with themselves.
A method that helps people move from surviving life to participating in it.
From reacting to responding.
From coping to creating.
From knowing what supports them to living it.
Because information isn't transformation.
Embodiment is.
Why SOL?
Sol Method carries two meanings.
The first is Service of Love.
This is the heart of our philosophy.
A reminder that meaningful change rarely happens through force, punishment, self-criticism, or constantly trying to fix ourselves.
It happens through relationship.
Through learning to listen rather than override.
To respond rather than react.
To work with the body instead of against it.
Service of Love shapes how we teach, how we move, how we build community, and how we approach wellbeing.
Because we believe the most sustainable transformations happen when people learn to meet themselves with curiosity, compassion, and care.
The second meaning is Somatic Lifestyle.
At Sol Method, we don't see nervous system care as something you do for one hour and then leave behind.
We see it as a way of living.
A daily practice of listening to your body, understanding your capacity, responding to your needs, and creating a life that supports your nervous system rather than constantly works against it.
This is why Sol Method is more than a movement practice.
It's a Somatic Lifestyle Method for training nervous system capacity in modern life.
The 7 Pillars of Sol Method
Your nervous system is shaped by far more than stress alone.
It responds to where your attention goes.
How you breathe.
How you move.
How connected you feel to your body.
The habits you practice each day.
The people you surround yourself with.
And the life you're creating.
That's why the Sol Method is built on seven pillars.
-
Embodied Awareness
Modern life is constantly competing for your attention.
When your attention is always being pulled outward, it's easy to lose connection with what's happening within.
Embodied awareness is the practice of coming home to yourself.
Of slowing down enough to notice.
Your thoughts.
Your emotions.
Your body's signals.
Your patterns.
Your nervous system.
Because before you can change your nervous system, you first need to become aware of it.
Through embodied awareness, you develop greater self-awareness, healthier self-talk, conscious choice and a deeper relationship with your body.
In a world asking for more of your attention, embodied awareness is the practice of reclaiming it.
2. Breath
Because breath is the language of the nervous system.
Every nervous system state has a breathing pattern.
Stress changes your breath.
Anxiety changes your breath.
Urgency changes your breath.
Overwhelm changes your breath.
Breath is one of the fastest ways to influence your physiology and communicate safety to your body.
This is why every Sol Method practice begins with breath.
3. Somatic Movement
Because movement is one of the ways your nervous system communicates.
Every emotion has a movement pattern.
Every stress response has a movement pattern.
Every nervous system state has a movement pattern.
Somatic movement is the practice of moving with your body, rather than overriding it.
It's movement guided by sensation, awareness and curiosity—not performance.
It becomes a way to communicate with your nervous system.
To shift your state.
To process stress.
To complete what your body has been holding onto.
And to build a relationship with your body based on trust rather than control.
At Sol Method, movement isn't simply exercise.
It's a conversation between you and your nervous system.
4. Embodiment
Because knowing isn't the same as becoming.
Many people know exactly what would help them feel better.
Yet they still find themselves repeating the same patterns.
Embodiment is the bridge between awareness and action.
It's the practice of listening to your body, trusting what it communicates and responding with intention.
Because transformation doesn't happen through information.
It happens through lived experience.
5. Practice
Because transformation is built through repetition.
Your nervous system changes through what you repeatedly do, not simply what you understand.
Every breath.
Every boundary.
Every moment of presence.
Every conscious choice.
Every time you choose practice over perfection.
Practice is about taking ownership of your nervous system and putting in the daily reps. It's about taking small, aligned actions that, over time, reshape the way you respond to life.
Because lasting change isn't created in one breakthrough moment.
It's built through consistent action.
One breath.
One practice.
One rep at a time.
6. Lifestyle
Because what you practice every day shapes your nervous system.
Your sleep.
Your recovery.
Your nutrition.
Your environment.
Your technology use.
Your boundaries.
Your daily rhythms.
A weekly practice is powerful.
But your nervous system is being shaped every single day.
Lifestyle is where nervous system training becomes a way of living, not simply something you do.
7. Community
Because nervous systems regulate in relationship.
We are wired for connection.
Long before we had language, our nervous systems learned safety through proximity, belonging and relationship.
This process is known as co-regulation.
Community helps us borrow calm, experience belonging and remember that we were never designed to navigate life alone.
What We Teach
At Sol Method, we teach people how to build a healthier relationship with their nervous system.
We teach you how to:
• Understand what your body is communicating.
• Respond rather than react.
• Process stress instead of carrying it.
• Create more space in your body and mind.
• Build emotional and physical resilience.
• Develop practices that support modern life.
• Increase your capacity for challenge, change, uncertainty, connection, and growth.
These aren't quick fixes.
They're lifelong skills.
Skills that help you feel more present in your life, more connected to yourself, and more capable of meeting whatever life asks of you.
The Future We Are Building.
We're building more than a movement studio.
We're helping build a different culture.
One that values presence over performance.
Connection over comparison.
Capacity over constant productivity.
Embodiment over endless information.
A culture that understands wellbeing isn't about escaping life.
It's about building the capacity to fully participate in it.
To create from intention instead of survival.
A culture where nervous systems can exhale.
This is Exhale Culture.
Meet the Founders
Ruby Shine
Ruby is a somatic coach and nervous system educator. With a background in Yoga, Pilates, functional movement, menstrual cycle education, breath work, and neuroscience-informed nervous system training.
Ruby's passion for nervous system work began through her own journey navigating C-PTSD, burnout, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances. What started as a personal search for healing evolved into a deeper understanding of how profoundly the nervous system shapes every aspect of our lives—from our health and relationships to our capacity, confidence, and ability to fully participate in life.
Today, her work extends beyond individual wellbeing. As a mother, Ruby is deeply passionate about breaking cycles, building emotional capacity, and shaping healthier nervous systems for future generations. She believes that when we learn to regulate, relate, rest, and respond differently, we don't just change our own lives—we influence our families, our communities, and the generations that follow.
At the heart of Ruby's work is a belief that ambition and wellbeing don't need to exist in opposition. She is passionate about helping people pursue meaningful lives, big dreams, and personal growth without sacrificing their health, relationships, or nervous system in the process.
Tara Folton
Tara Folton is a somatic embodiment coach, nervous system educator, and movement practitioner with nearly three decades of experience guiding people back into relationship with themselves through the wisdom of the body.
Beginning as a yoga teacher, Tara has trained across multiple lineages before evolving her work into a nervous system-informed approach integrating Polyvagal Theory, somatic practices, breathwork, and trauma-sensitive facilitation.
Motherhood was the pivotal shift. It deepened her understanding of the nervous system in ways no training could — awakening a profound curiosity about wellbeing, relationships, and the environments we create for those we love. As she tended to her own growth, Tara became deeply aware that she was also helping shape the environment in which her son would learn resilience, emotional capacity, connection, and self-worth. It sparked a lifelong commitment to understanding stress, relational patterns, and how we consciously break cycles that no longer serve us.
Through both training and lived experience, Tara recognised that true wellbeing isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about cultivating a healthier relationship with the body. Her own experiences with over-functioning, burnout, and the pressures many women carry led her to explore what it means to build emotional capacity, self-awareness, and resilience from the inside out.
Her work now supports individuals to build emotional capacity, cultivate nervous system resilience, and deepen their relationship with themselves through an embodied way of living. Grounded in the belief that regulation is not something we achieve but a way of relating to ourselves, Tara’s approach meets people exactly where they are, inviting them to move at a pace that honours the body’s capacity and wisdom while creating the foundation for more meaningful relationships, personal growth, and a greater sense of aliveness.
