Our Story

Co-founders Nayla and Victoire’s journey to Sol Studio began with a shared vision: to create a haven and community where everyone can reconnect to themselves amidst life’s hustle. Hailing from diverse backgrounds, both young entrepreneurs understood the importance of fostering a space dedicated to well-being and connection. United by this purpose, they embarked on a mission to empower individuals to prioritize self-care and mindfulness. Drawing from their own experiences in corporate settings, they recognized the need for a sanctuary where people could escape their own daily grind. Sol Studio emerged as a safe space where you can take a moment, away from the chaos, to reset, restore and replenish both mind and body. Whether you visit us once a day or once a week, Sol Studio is your space to be selfish, to breathe, and to recharge.

Victoire Cambours

Victoire, Co-founder and Pilates instructor at Sol Studio, blends her international background with her passion for well-being and fitness. Raised in an athletic family and deeply influenced by both French and American cultures, Victoire developed a passion for movement from an early age. After graduating from l’Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne in 2018, she channeled her talent for hospitality and event planning, bringing warmth and positivity to every project she undertook. While building a corporate career at an international recruitment firm, Victoire remained committed to her own fitness journey, exploring various wellness concepts. In 2023, driven by her dedication to mind-body connection, she completed her Pilates teacher training and has been sharing her passion through regular classes since. Victoire’s goal is to create a welcoming and vibrant space where others can experience the transformative power of movement and find true inspiration at Sol Studio.

Nayla Sayegh

Nayla, Co-founder and Yoga teacher at Sol Studio, brings authenticity, compassion, and expertise in her pursuit to inspire positive change. Her journey commenced amidst the vibrant streets of Beirut, where she discovered yoga, which not only helped her recover from an injury but also transcended into various facets of her life. Drawing from her international background, Nayla pursued higher education in sustainability, hospitality, and entrepreneurship. Despite a promising career she felt compelled to the call of her passion for yoga and holistic wellness. Driven by dedication to her practice, Nayla completed a 200-hour Hatha yoga certification with Colife Geneva, followed by an immersive 200-hour Vinyasa and Ashtanga training with Sarvam Yoga Beirut, registered with Yoga Alliance.
