About our Classes

All classes at the Yoga Sanctuary are life-affirming soul celebrations
that honour YOU as a unique individual. In all classes you are
encouraged to be yourself, whilst playfully and joyfully
rediscovering the fun in stretching your boundaries.

The signature style of practice at the Yoga Sanctuary is a
soulful style of Vinyasa that creatively and mindfully weaves the
physical postures onto the powerful thread of the breath, to create
a garland of devotion honouring the spirit within.
 

Fundamentals is a 4 week course designed to introduce Beginners to the Yoga Sanctuary method and philosophy. This is the ultimate way to begin your Yoga journey.

Open Classes are dynamic and transformative but encompass all levels of practitioner. Each class typically includes:-

  • An opening period of centring with Sanskrit Chanting
  • Satsang (Yoga philosophy)
  • Soulful Vinyasa (flowing sequences of postures guided by the breath)
  • Pranayama (breathing practices)
  • Deep relaxation and meditation.

Strong Flow is designed for students who are 'flowing easy' in open classes. Strong Flows allow you to sink even deeper into the meditative essence of the flow. These classes are challenging and incorporate some of the more advanced postures, variations and sequences. This class is NOT suitable for Beginners.

Free Flow - In the Yoga Sanctuary method, the ultimate expression of Asana arises when the mind no longer disturbs the natural intuition of the body. In this way the body moves freely without interference from thought and is empowered directly by the flow of grace emanating from the soul.

Free Flow classes are designed for students who understand the mechanics of each of the main postures, can flow effortlessly between them and have a familiarity with the Yoga Sanctuary method that allows them to flow unaided and unabashed during the free flow segments of the class.

Sunday Special Classes - These indulgent 2 hour classes encompass a longer period of Satsang (Yoga philosophy) and soulful Vinyasa that emphasises a particular aspect of the practice. The emphasis may be on 'Agni Rasa' (Core empowerment); 'Prana Rasa' (Yogic breathing); 'Surya Rasa' (Sun Salutations); 'Shanti Rasa' (Rejuvenative and deep relaxation); 'Dhyana Rasa' (Meditation); or any other aspect of the practice.

These classes are fun and enlightening and offer the students an opportunity to deepen their understanding of particular aspects of the practice, gaining access to their greater benefits. Sunday Specials are open to all students who are enjoying open classes at the Yoga Sanctuary. (These sessions are not covered by Class Packs).
