YogaSole was founded in 2008 by Evalena Leedy E-RYT-200, YACEP, IAYT and Antonella Pannullo. Their mission was clear; to introduce beginners to the beautiful world of Yoga, as well as create an open-minded and compassionate support system for those who are already practitioners. Community was at the heart of everything they did in the studio.

In 2016, Sunee LaClaire took her first class at YogaSole and immediately knew that it was a special place. She has adventured all over the planet, taking yoga classes in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. Feeling lovingly embraced by the welcoming community from the moment she entered, she became a desk staff member after her first class at the studio. Her appreciation for the special atmosphere of healing and inclusiveness at the YogaSole lead her to seek a more active role in helping it grow and the community continue to thrive. In 2019, she purchased the studio and continues to work to keep the special spirit of YogaSole nurturing the two studio communities in Windsor Terrace and Sunset Park. Sunee brings with her a wealth of experience from her previous careers as a classroom teacher, personal stylist, and retail manager and trainer. 
​
Sunee received her 200 CYT from Yoga Works in 2018 under the tutelage of Heather Seagraves and Markela Los. In 2019, she completed the certification to become a certified Yoga Tune Up® instructor, studying with Ariel Kiley and Jonathan McKinna.

We are delighted to continue to hold our community dear while also expanding access to Yoga and Fitness in Brooklyn (and beyond!).
