Our Yoga Classes

Full Moon Restorative is a class that will be offered on or about the date of the full moon. Restorative poses and relaxation techniques are used to counter the energetic drain that often accompanies full moons. Suitable for any level practitioner, this class will leave you feeling rested, rejuvenated and restored.

Gentle Yoga is ideal for students who wish to move at a slower pace or are recovering from injuries. Experience a gentle approach to yoga postures that stretch the muscles and deeply relax the nervous system.

Gentle Yoga Plus is a variation on our gentle yoga that introduces standing postures and often uses a chair to provide support and stability for students with injuries, balance issues, or other limitations. This class is ideal for students who wish to move at a slower pace, but would also like to focus on finding balance while standing on two feet!

Level l provides a supportive environment in which beginning students can learn the foundation of a yoga practice while the more experienced practitioner will be able to fine tune the fundamentals of their practice.

Level ll is for the student with a consistent yoga practice. This 75-minute energetic and creative class explores the more advanced practices while moving at a vigorous tempo. Six months of experience or more and a full understanding of the standing poses is highly recommended.

Mixed Level introduces more challenging and dynamic postures. It’s recommended to have a solid foundation in level l classes before beginning this class. It is your bridge between level l and the challenge of level ll. Mixed 75 is the same approach but 75 minutes long.

New Moon Meditation is a class that will be offered on or about the date of the new moon. Through guided meditation, you will be invited to draw on the energies of rebirth and renewal that accompany a new moon, enabling you to reconnect to your hopes and dreams, ask for help and guidance and open space for abundance to flow into your life.

Restorative Yoga is a quiet practice in which props are used to place students in comfortable, supported poses that promote deep relaxation. Suitable for any level yoga practitioner, this class will leave you feeling relaxed and restored.

Restorative Plus Yoga is a variation on our classic restorative yoga and introduces a few other simple modalities to relax and restore. Suitable for any level of yoga practitioner, this class will help you strengthen your daily habits and learn how to rest with ease.

The Yoga Sanctuary offers on site yoga classes for businesses, local organizations, and even special events. Classes can be held at your location or at our studio. The opening of the studio in 2007 has brought the benefits of Yoga to hundreds of people, regardless of age or fitness level. Yoga calms the mind and reduces stress, with students often reaping the benefits after only a single class. The community wide impact of these benefits became apparent with The Yoga Sanctuary being named 2008 Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year. Now your program can become an extension of an established studio in your own facility.

Here are a few options that we offer:

Yoga is a wonderful way to prepare your body for birth as well as deepen your relationship with your baby. In prenatal yoga, we learn gentle postures, breath work, and meditation. This cultivates flexibility, confidence, and relaxation in preparation for labor and childbirth. The postures are designed to open the hips, release lower back pain, and connect to your baby both physically and spiritually.

Prenatal Yoga is appropriate for all pregnant women, including those with no previous yoga experience.
