The Yoga Sanctuary’s Mission is to share our passion of yoga with the community by providing a warm, safe environment to develop the tools needed to incorporate yoga into everyday life.

The Yoga Sanctuary is recognized for its highly qualified teaching staff. All instructors have completed a 200-hour Yoga Alliance certified teacher training program. Each brings years of experience along with passion, a unique style, and a deep commitment to their teaching and personal practice.

The Yoga Sanctuary Logo is a rendering of the Anahata Chakra, or Heart Center. Each element represents some aspect of this energentic center. Look closely at the circle in the center of the lotus flower and you will see two intersecting triangles. This is called a yantra and is used as a visual during meditation to help keep one focused and invoke the energy of the heart center. This yantra is called shatkona and represents the union of male/female, Purusha/Prakriti, Shiva/Shakti. The Sanskrit symbol in the center of the yantra is the bija mantra Yum. This is the sound one would repeat while in meditation to cultivate the energy of the heart center. The lotus flower of the Anahata Chakra has twelve petals, each petal representing twelve Sanskrit syllables, each syllable representing one of the twelve divine aspects of Anahata Chakra, such as love, compassion, kindness, and forgiveness. We use Anahata Chakra to represent the energy we hope to cultivate at The Yoga Sanctuary, a place of openness, unconditional love, kindness, and acceptance for all.

Finding The Yoga Sanctuary in Punta Gorda has been so beneficial to me. Kind and experienced instructors have made me more aware of my body, more at ease, and more self assured over these past two years. I find peace going through the asanas. I walk taller being more aware of my body alignment and that’s a challenge for someone barely five feet tall! My muscles and glands have been strengthened and rejuvenated. I feel much younger than my 59 years. Thank you The Yoga Sanctuary for being true to your name.

Yoga has taught me to focus more on life, health, and love for myself and for those around me. When I complete a Yoga practice I have an inner calmness; spiritually of the soul and mind.
~ Marilyn B.

Yoga has kept me flexible and active, it has helped the problems I have with my posture, neck and back pain. Yoga has also helped me to center my focus and calm my inner noise.
~ Tammy S.

Yoga has influenced my decision-making process through clearing the clutter of mind, enjoying better health through regular practice of Asanas, and in general adopting a life-style of a proactive approach to health and wellbeing. I am convinced that this integrated approach to life is “a lesson in knowing oneself and learning how to be.”

I have been recovering from back surgery for the past 9 months. I cannot say enough GOOD about the Gentle Yoga classes! I have improved 150% since beginning these classes 6 months ago. It has been my privilege to practice the yoga with the instructors at The Yoga Sanctuary.

I’m so glad that I found The Yoga Sanctuary. I appreciate all that I have learned. Yoga has become much more than the asanas to me now. Thank You!

I have had chronic problems with my back since my early twenties. Although I exercised on a regular basis, in my mid fifties I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis. I was stiff in the mornings and had a hard time moving. I would also wake up during the night and my hips were aching. It was then I decided to try Yoga. After a month of doing Yoga on a regular basis my hips no longer ached. I am now 60 years old and have increased my strength and flexibility. My Yoga practice has given me calmness in my life with less anxiety. I believe we are very lucky to have such outstanding and caring teachers at The Yoga Sanctuary.
