Style/Lineage
At Sanctuary & in this training, 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.
