Sol Viegas

Certified Iyengar® Yoga Teacher, Junior Intermediate Level 2
Certified by the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI), Pune, India

Sol Viegas is the founder of Sol Viegas Yoga & Massage Studio in the Algarve, Portugal, where she shares her passion for Iyengar® Yoga with a growing community.

​

Born in Argentina, Sol began her Yoga journey in 1999 and discovered Iyengar® Yoga in 2005, a pivotal moment that marked the beginning of her transformative journey in both yoga practice and life. Since then, she has been dedicated exclusively to this method, studying under the guidance of her mentor, Patxi Lizardi, since 2009.

​

In 2016, Sol completed a rigorous three-year Iyengar® Yoga certification program with Billy Konrad in Portugal. With over two decades of teaching experience (since 2003), Sol continues to deepen her personal and professional knowledge, integrating her study, practice, and teaching into a holistic approach to yoga and well-being.

​

Her commitment to learning has led her to India, where she studied at RIMYI in Pune, and trained with esteemed teachers Rudra Dev and Usha Devi in Rishikesh, and Rajiv Chanchani in Dehradun. Even during the pandemic, Sol remained connected to the Iyengar® community by attending regular online classes with renowned instructors such as Abhijata Iyengar, Raya Uma Datta, and Jayne Orton.

​

Sol’s dedication to continual growth extends beyond yoga. She regularly attends workshops with prominent teachers, including Patxi Lizardi, Abhijata Iyengar, Uday Bhosale, Edwin Bryant, Bobby Clennell, and others. This ongoing education fuels her teaching and personal practice.

​

In addition to her yoga expertise, Sol is a certified Ayurvedic Massage Therapist (trained in India, 2004), Thai-Yoga Massage Therapist (trained in Thailand, 2005), and has completed all three levels of Reiki. She is also a certified Life Coach through WeCreate, integrating her diverse wellness skills into a holistic approach to helping others.
