SOUL DIVE YOGA MAKES PALM DESERT DEBUT
Boutique Yoga Studio Opens for Classes, Beautifully Situated on El Paseo
Palm Desert (February 1, 2023) – Soul Dive Yoga is a boutique yoga studio beautifully located in the heart of Palm Desert on El Paseo. Soul Dive recently opened with a full schedule, offering a variety of yoga classes, workshops, trainings and special events for desert dwellers and globetrotting seekers alike. Soul Dive invites students to dive into the deep out in the desert for inspired and nourishing movement, breath, community and soulful connection.
Soul Dive’s mission is to bring each student in more purposeful alignment with their own mind-body connection. Opening on the heels of the pandemic, Soul Dive’s primary purpose is to offer the individuals in our community a place to simply be. Inspired by founder Alex Sabbag’s own personal soul dive, and her journey of finding healing and respite at her local yoga studio in Chicago, Soul Dive exists as a place for people to take precisely what they need at any given time. From dynamic movement to soothing sound baths, restorative practices or just a beautiful space to connect with a loved one or make a new friend, the space is ready for you.
“Yoga has been a beautiful part of my life for upwards of 20 years,” said Alex, Founder of Soul Dive Yoga. “I had a fickle relationship with the practice due to long limbs and the inability to contort my lanky body into pretzel-like shapes, but over time the studio became a home away from home and I got curious about how yoga works.”
Born from a tragically beautiful love story, Alex’s vision to create a place for people to heal was realized upon opening Soul Dive in the fall of 2022. As a recovering runner, Alex’s journey to yoga started like most, exploring a way to access more flexibility, build strength and maintain a healthy physique amidst the brutal Chicago winters. In 2018, a life-altering diagnosis for her fiance facilitated the shift and it was then Yoga’s higher power struck.
“I became a full time caretaker to my fiance, Matt virtually overnight,” Alex reflects. “Matt was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer on my 33rd birthday and from the moment we learned, I flew into fight or flight, dropping everything to care for him - my life and livelihood revolving around treatments and therapies and my home was hijacked by his cancer… I remember walking into the studio for the first time after his diagnosis. What I received wasn’t sympathy or pity. It was an empowering invitation to feel, rest, simply be, take what I need and feel some sense of safety amidst the chaos.”
February 17th marks National Caregivers Day and as a way to honor and celebrate the practice of self love and the selfless act of caregiving, Soul Dive has an abundance of special offerings to share the space with new and existing members of our community.
“February is like Soul Dive’s Super Bowl,” Alex states. “We’ve curated a lineup of offerings that speaks to everyone. The invitation is this: come get to know us. Whether you actually take a yoga class or simply spin a record in our space, we are excited to meet you and share what Soul Dive is all about.”
