THE YOGA SANCTUARY has been created to provide a moment of tranquility in our very busy lives. Tucked in the heart of Punta Gorda’s historic district is a small ‘sanctuary’ where you can nurture the body, mind and spirit. Our mission is to share our passion of yoga with the community by providing a warm, safe environment to develop the tools needed to incorporate yoga into everyday life. We offer the benefits of yoga to people of all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re interested in a yoga class, private instruction, meditation, or simply want to unwind with a fresh cup of organic tea, The Yoga Sanctuary is your destination to relax, refresh and rejuvenate. At our studio, you’ll find a full range of yoga classes, empowering year-round workshops, individualized programs and yoga supplies all designed to support a yogic lifestyle. In honoring nonviolence (“ahimsa”) – we are committed to making environmentally friendly decisions in the design of our studio and daily operations. Design features include cork flooring, non-VOC (volatile organic compounds) and odor-free paint, and IKEA furniture. Cork flooring is used to keep us connected to the earth – the source of our being. One of the greatest benefits of cork flooring is the environmental impact – because it’s made from bark, the cork trees are simply peeled instead of cut down. Warm and soft under the feet, cork provides a comfortable, safe environment for your yoga practice. Additionally, we supply the studio with non-toxic, bio-degradable yoga mats and cork blocks. We also use all natural cleaning products, recycled paper products, and supply our tea station with organic tea.

A simple reminder that age is just a number! 💪🧘🥰

Take a read - maybe your yoga practice is helping you age better and with more grace! We often teach and practice these simple concepts, but not very often are reminded of the long term benefits of a practice that supports us as our bodies change. What do you think? 💚🙏💚

From the pond at the Himalayan Institute… a snippet from our retreat. Cool weather, a sunny day, and the sound of water flowing in the pond. 🌊☀️🍂

Turn up the volume, and experience nature! 💚🙏🏼💚

It's been a few weeks since we finished up our Yoga Month celebration - but we have a few more things to share! 👏🎉🧘‍♀️

Meet Riannan Osborne! She was our Grand Prize winner for our Yoga Bingo, and has been a part of our community for many years. We are so happy to see her return back to her practice. Read on for a little insight on what brought her back to the mat, and what inspires her!

It sounded like a fun way to try some new things, new classes, work on myself and give back to the community.

I learned more about self care as well as giving to others selflessly. I also got so much stronger as well doing 3 classes weekly. I also challenged myself doing things I wouldn't normally do but were opportunities to check off more of the boxes. I got 3 Bingos total and I guess it helped!

My Yoga Practice has supported me in my other areas of life like teaching dancing, sitting at a desk for hours (help with stretching tight hips and muscles) and helped calm my nervous system with required stretching and relaxation with an in person class. It's inspired me to learn a little bit more about deep breathing, meditation and why we do the OM as well. All good nervous system regulation benefits. I'm also inspired to invite others to join in yoga here or elsewhere as well. I know there are online classes available if they can't physically be there in studio too.

Deep bow to Riannan for joining us, and being inspired to share her experience. If you see her in class, be sure to say hello! Keep you eyes peeled for more Yoga Month nuggets in the next few weeks! 💚🙏💚

Ahhh… it’s already been a week since our time at the Himalayan Institute.
What a week it was—filled with quiet, yet full of connection. We explored ways to dive deeper into our practice and discovered how, although we spend plenty of time with yoga postures, they are really just the tip of the iceberg.

We practiced together, sat in meditation together, laughed together, chanted together, walked the trails together, sat by the fire together, tasted chocolate together, and shared so many meaningful moments in between. Each day invited us to turn inward, to listen, and to open our hearts—to ourselves and to one another.

Our gratitude runs deep for this time away and for the beautiful community that gathered. Thank you to everyone who joined us for Step Into the Heart of Yoga. Until next time…
