# Finding Solas

Finding Solas is a women-only wellness space in Newry dedicated to nervous system regulation and embodied transformation through yoga, breathwork and guided circles. Rather than positioning itself as a fitness studio, the business explicitly rejects that framing, instead offering what founder describes as a place for "real change, not crisis management."

The business serves women seeking preventative wellbeing support before reaching crisis point—those wanting to build resilience, release chronic tension and reconnect with their bodies through a trauma-informed, nervous-system-first approach. Classes and programmes emphasise safety, gentle movement and psychological tools rather than intensity or performance.

What distinguishes Finding Solas is its philosophical stance: the messaging challenges the wellness industry's tendency to treat wellbeing as reactive (for the burnt-out and broken) rather than foundational. The language throughout the website—emphasising softening, agency, inner light and self-knowledge—speaks to a somatic, emotionally literate approach.

Offerings range from accessible Gentle Chair Yoga for mobility and ease, to Candlelight Restore sessions focusing on deep relaxation, weekly classes, structured courses and women's circles. The curriculum works exclusively with the nervous system, incorporating yoga, stillness, breath and honest conversation as tools for embodied learning.

The business operates from a specific location (Sugarhouse Quay) and maintains intentional boundaries around its women-only space, suggesting a commitment to creating genuine safety and community rather than generic group fitness.
