The Experience
All classes at studio sanctuary are trauma-informed and authentically reflect the experiences of our teachers. Our class styles vary, offering inclusivity to all. You may expect that all classes provide the following elements
Pranayama: Breathing practices and breath awareness; how are you breathing and how does it feel?
Asana: The physical element of a Yoga practice; a sequence of postures to move, open, strengthen and rest your body.
Somatic Practices: Intentional movement focused on the internal experience rather then the external appearance or result of the movement.
Meditation: The invitation to explore inner awareness with your body and thoughts during stillness; this looks and feels different for everyone.

We encourage you to discuss any concerns, physical or otherwise with instructor before class. This information will help us keep you safe during practice. ALWAYS check with your doctor if you have questions regarding practice and health issues.
We strongly encourage you to bring your own mat for hygienic purposes. If you decide to a studio yoga mat, please wipe it down with spray provided at end of class.
Please wear comfortable clothing thats easy to move in. Traditionally yoga is practiced in bare feet, but you can always keep your socks on if you want.

PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! IF SOMETHING HURTS, DON’T DO IT!! A little discomfort is normal when we move in new ways, but yoga should not cause pain. Listen to your body and if you feel pain, or want to stop for any other reason, please honor your body wherever it may be in that moment.
