Beautiful is an understatement. Not only is the space breathtaking, but the instructors and therapists are all amazing! Not to mention the best massages I’ve had here. Their whole team is so welcoming and does anything in their hearts to make you feel at home.

Beautiful space with amazing teachers. I just moved up here and took a class with Taylor and was so thrilled with the practice. They have a beautiful balance to the studio and the practice. The $60 first month trial is well worth it! I highly recommend coming in if you’re in town and need a great yoga class.

We make reservations well in advance. This place is really Divine! Possibly the very Best Massages we have enjoyed in forever. Kris is one in a million and she only hires terrific bodyworkers. Tip: Oshana is so talented...truly a gifted masseuse. And, the whole enviornment is so comforting.

We are big fans of the Sanctuary - have enjoyed excellent massages there.
Recently, had the very best massages with Oshana and Cynthia. The Sanctuary is pure bliss.
Every aspect of the appointment was perfection. The oasis-feel combined with myriad thoughtful touches: soft sweet fountain, soothing music, lovely essences, lotions, potions, and superlative body workers.
Oshana is the consummate bodyworker with great credentials and a wonderful technique.
Cynthia is also so very talented and intuitive. Gold stars. A+.
Kris, the owner, is beautiful, gracious, kind and a delight.

She crushed it!
I recently had a total hip replacement. The other hip needs to be replaced too but, in the meantime, I am working to recover muscle mass and fitness. Julie and I discussed my recovery and muscle pain patterns. She was able to help alleviate the immediate pain so that I can exercise through old muscle habits and patterns. This really helps the recovery.
In addition, Julie takes time to treat the whole body and mind, leaving me in a much calmer overall state of being.
I high recommend Julie.

The Sanctuary is my yoga home in Kings Beach! Great teachers, a beautiful studio and warm inviting yoga community. I especially enjoy the variety of classes with gifted instructors each teaching their own style. Whether you're new to yoga or have been practicing for years the Sanctuary is a supportive yoga environment.

Staff was welcoming. Frustrating part- I couldnt hear commands over music- was in middle of room. Was a step behind everyone. Gave up 1/2 way through and tried to relax myself.

I first tried acupuncture for pain management, but soon found the whole body health benefits of acupuncture. When I moved to the North shore of Tahoe I tried a few acupuncturists and Julie is by far the best for holistic treatment of the whole body and health. Julie takes the time to ask and understand what is currently going on with you, so she can treat not just specific symptoms, but you as a whole. Julie and The Sanctuary are both warm and inviting. Treatments by Julie are part of my regular routine to keep me healthy, happy and balanced with my super busy schedule as a single mom and

This place is awesome! I am an experienced yogi who always try to find a yoga class when traveling. Our class this morning with Dawn was absolutely perfect - a vigorous flow with a teacher who knows her stuff. It couldn’t have been better!

I booked The Sanctuary for a private yoga class at my wedding venue for our wedding morning - and they were amazing! I emailed them to ask about a private class and they were very responsive via email and send me details on pricing and class options quickly. I had them booked shortly after. They were SO generous to agree to bring 10 yoga mats with them for my guests. We ended up having 13 people in the class and the instructor, Kelsey Welch, was amazing. She arrived a few minutes early before the scheduled time and helped us set up mats on a beautiful patio. Her class was amazing - setting the

I was in Incline Village on vacation for five days. I came down with a cold as we left Orange County and it only got worse on the way up. On Thursday morning, I started to call Acupuncturists in the area. One was less than helpful, his office said that they no appointments open for new patients until November. When I spoke to Julie, she found a way to make time for me that day. It was a great experience to receive needles from her. Her technique was amazing. And best of all, I was feeling much better almost immediately. The next day, I even played a round of golf and won!

Thanks Julie
