A steady, breath-led practice to awaken energy and focus.
Flow is Sanctuary’s most active class, designed for those who want to move, breathe, and build heat in a mindful, non-performative way. You’ll explore standing sequences, balance poses, and smooth transitions that develop strength, endurance, and inner stability — always with attention to form, breath, and safety.

The pace is steady but intentional, inviting you to experience strength as an extension of awareness rather than effort.

Please note: Students should have a basic familiarity with yoga postures, be comfortable bearing weight through the hands, and move safely between floor and standing positions.

Best suited for:

• Those familiar with foundational poses and comfortable in flow-style transitions
  
• Students seeking a mindful, strength-building practice that still honors rest and reflection
  
• Anyone wanting to explore heat and focus through conscious, embodied movement

Mindful movement that builds steadiness and strength.
Slow Flow bridges the space between gentle yoga and vinyasa-style movement. We move at an unhurried pace through standing and seated postures, linking breath with movement to cultivate balance, coordination, and confidence.

This class maintains Sanctuary’s restorative tone while introducing more active movement and gentle challenge to help you build strength and stability safely. It offers the benefits of flow-style yoga without the intensity or pace of a traditional vinyasa class, making it a perfect middle ground between Gentle + Meditation and our Flow class.

Please note: Students should be comfortable transitioning between the floor, all-fours, and standing positions.

Best suited for those seeking a mindful, moderately active practice that builds steadiness and strength while remaining slower and more accessible than a traditional flow class.

October 7-28| 1 evening per week at Sanctuary

Registration deadline: October 3.

This program is now full — the next Root + Rise series will be offered in Spring 2026.

This four-week program is for anyone who feels depleted, overwhelmed, or disconnected—and is ready to begin building true inner resilience from the inside out.

Rooted in the science of the nervous system, the timeless wisdom of yoga, and the healing perspective of Ayurveda, Root + Rise offers a gentle, guided path toward balance and clarity. Each week we’ll explore accessible practices and essential teachings to help you understand your nervous system, anchor your awareness in the body, and create space for healing and restoration.

You’ll learn how to recognize and shift your own stress patterns, deepen your connection to breath and body, and develop a toolkit of daily rituals and practices to support resilience—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

A grounding class for healing, rest, and nervous system support.

This class combines gentle movement, restorative postures, and guided meditation to help you reconnect with your body and breath. Most of our time is spent on the floor in a seated, reclined, or supported position and moving slowly through poses that release tension and encourage deep rest.

We’ll also explore transitions into all-fours positions and occasional standing postures, building strength and stability in a safe, supported way. You’ll be gently introduced to yoga foundations such as alignment, breath awareness, and mindful movement, helping you gain comfort and confidence in your practice at your own pace.

Best suited for:

Those new to yoga or returning after time away or anyone seeking a slower, nurturing class to support healing and calm.

Please note: For safety, students should be able to move to and from the floor, transition through all-fours positions, and navigate stairs independently.

Registration required. Registration closes 1 hour prior to start time.

In the midst of the holiday season, this candlelit class offers a quiet pause and a chance to rest, regulate, and reconnect with yourself.

Restorative yoga uses props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks to fully support the body in long, gentle postures that invite deep release and nervous system repair.

Each pose is held for several minutes, allowing the body to unwind and the mind to soften while surrounded by the warmth of candlelight and calming music. You’ll leave feeling grounded, centered, and replenished and a little more like yourself again.

No experience is needed. Just come as you are. Solo or with a friend. Bring a cozy layer, and let the space do the work.

You’re warmly invited to join us and to raise a teacup to spaces like Sanctuary becoming the norm rather than the exception. Spaces where healing isn’t rushed, where community is felt, and where safety is the foundation for transformation.

🎀 At 10:30 AM, we’ll officially cut the ribbon and celebrate this next chapter for Sanctuary Yoga & Wellness. There will be tea, light bites, and good company, a gentle toast to what it means to create spaces like this in a world that moves way too fast.

The world outside might be bustling, but inside Sanctuary, the candles are glowing, the tea is warm, and the vibe is cozy.

This holiday season, we’re opening the studio for a few spontaneous Pop-Up Peace Place moments. Times to step in from the cold, take a breath, and return to what matters most; gratitude, connection, and being truly present.

Come as you are. Stay for five minutes or linger awhile. Curl up with a blanket, rest on a bolster, sip tea, breathe, and let yourself settle. No rush, no rules, just warmth, quiet, and a touch of the kind of peace that feels like coming home.
