Yoga Sanctuary

Yoga Sanctuary Yoga Sanctuary is a nonprofit studio seeking to increase access to holistic yoga for all who seek it

Yoga Sanctuary is a nonprofit, holistic studio, offering a place of respite and integration for your body, mind, and spirit. We seek to teach safe, fun relational yoga every day, to EVERY BODY, offering classes, workshops, and 230hr Yoga Teacher Training at sustainable prices fostering abundant access to holistic yoga. We recognize the disparity and inequity inherent in our country’s origin and intentionally offer reduced rates and scholarships to BIPOC folks who have been harmed by systemic racism. If you are experiencing financial hardship and want to join us for yoga, please connect with Shelley@YogaSanctuaryMpls.com - we want to share yoga, share life and share peace with you. The practice of yoga tells us that everything we need for peace and wholeness is already inside us but living and practicing yoga is best done in the context of a supportive community. Together, we will work to ignite the transformative and healing power of being fully present in our bodies and in our lives.

While bodies are being threatened, taken, and harmed here in our beloved communities, while ICE is terrorizing families, friends, and neighbors, how are you residing in your body right here and now? In light of the harm being done to other bodies, how do you land in your own body, to show up for and take care of one another?

There is so much trauma and burnout happening right now... Please remember to take care of your body, see your presence in it as power, so we can continue to show up.

If you are looking for a place to return to your body, to find a moment of respite, to move, breathe, grieve, and connect, know that we are here. If ever a cost is an issue, please reach out.

And please share that our monthly free Yoga Para La Communidad is offered not just in-studio, but over Zoom as well, so you can practice where you are most comfortable. A través de posturas suaves, respiración consciente y una meditación guiada, cultivaremos un espacio donde cada uno pueda sentirse seguro, apoyado y en plena expresión de su ser. No importa si es tu primera vez en el yoga o si tienes experiencia previa, esta clase está diseñada para que todos puedan participar y disfrutar: 1/11 1-2:30

Breathing with you with deep regard.

It was a busy week for many of us celebrating gratitude and family, and it has ended in a snowy landscape.

The ground is fresh and bright, like a fresh canvas on the eve of a new month. As we greet this new month, how are you moving on your path forward?

Some reflections inspired by snow:
-Are you in the midst of clearing the path for easier moving? What are you needing to move aside?
-Are you focusing your eyes to see hints of the road ahead of you? Can you be wary of when the path may require a detour?
-Are you navigating with footsteps playfully on a clean canvas of possibility? How can you trust your intuition?
-Are you moving your feet carefully and slowly so you don't stumble or slip? Can you remember to look up and see the bigger picture?

As we anticipate a new month of December we wish you peace, as you meet yourself on your path.
