I’m Kaila Thornton, founder of Sol & Root Wellness, a space where movement meets presence, helping high-performing leaders and teams stay grounded while shining their brightest.

My journey with yoga began in high school, sparked by YouTube videos and an early curiosity about meditation, even though sitting still was a challenge for me back then. Over time, my practice deepened, especially through hot yoga, which gifted me clarity, calm, and a rooted sense of self amid life’s constant change. That blend of lightness and grounding after each session is the heart of Sol & Root Wellness, and it’s the feeling I bring to every retreat I create.

Before curating wellness experiences, I worked in high-pressure environments from serving as a Senate education committee intern to working as a family mediation legal assistant. Those experiences gave me a unique perspective on the toll constant decision-making, conflict resolution, and leadership responsibilities take on even the most resilient executives. They also taught me the value of creating intentional pauses, spaces where leaders can reconnect, refocus, and return with renewed clarity.

I blend my skills in mediation, communication, and yoga to curate immersive retreats and private yoga events for executives, teams, and private gatherings. My experiences combine mindfulness, movement, and reflective workshops to prevent burnout and build lasting connection.
