Style/Lineage

At Sanctuary, we offer a strong, flow that is accessible to everyone - our power classes are vigorous as we move through Sun Salutations & poses, linking movement & breath. Our Flow & Slow classes are based on the same framework, but move more slowly. Classes are truly open to students of all levels & options for variations are always encouraged. While it is a very physical practice, there is always a focus on whole-being wellness: body, mind, heart spirit.

This training is open to anyone who has completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training program or higher & is designed to broaden & deepen your knowledge, as well as expand your skills & confidence as a teacher, in the studio & in life.
