Our Beginner Flow Series is a great introduction for someone who is new to yoga, or for someone who wants to review the foundations of the practice. We'll start at the beginning & build the flow each week - breaking down & flowing through poses, leaving space & time for questions & individual assistance.
Each class will be a little different, but always focused on basics. The room will NOT be hot for this class & class size will be limited to give everyone plenty of space. Sanctuary Power Yoga is built on accessibility & community. We believe this yoga is for every-body, regardless of your prior experience with yoga, sports or the gym.

Services
Where should I start? What should I expect? You just need to take that first step onto your mat. Whether you are a brand new beginner or seasoned yogi, truly you can participate in any of our classes. Pace yourself, practice at your level, rest when needed. You don't need to be "flexible" or have "done yoga" before.
Unlimited access to our online classes only & the recorded classes. No need to register for class - you'll receive an email at the beginning of the week with the links needed to access classes. And the recorded classes will automatically be sent to you at the end of each day. Unlimited access to all our classes - online, in studio & outside.
I've been teaching yoga for more than 15 years. I helped lead teacher trainings in the Boston area, before I opened Sanctuary. And since opening Sanctuary, I have led 6 200 hour teacher trainings in my studio. I bring years of experience to my yoga teacher trainings - years of teaching & learning. I teach from my experiences in & out of the studio.

After symptoms flared two years ago, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that ended my 21 year career as a PE teacher. Sanctuary Yoga had been a big part of coping with my illness. After returning to yoga, I feel so much better. I have more capacity each day, and have been able to get back to some other activities like climbing and snowboarding, which I honestly didn't think I would ever do again. I'm so grateful for Sanctuary Yoga for the support in healing!

What I love about Sanctuary Power Yoga is that Everyone is welcome here. The community of folks who practice here and the instructors are wonderful! The space is really beautiful and the heated room is really the perfect temperature to help me ease into poses and not so hot that it's hard to breathe. Classes are also offered on-line so that I can have the option to practice in studio or from the comfort of my home or while traveling.

I never had done a Yoga Class until I went to Sanctuary. The way the instructors taught made it very easy, and natural for me to learn. They also offered a variety of different flows to best suit my needs on any given day. Now yoga has become a working part of my life a few times a week. The staff is very kind and the studio itself is really nice and spacious. I highly recommend Sanctuary Power Yoga!

I have been going to Sanctuary Power Yoga in Canton for about five years. I really enjoy the classes and the teachers are always knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. The yoga itself challenges me to work hard and improve my balance and focus and breath. I like how the culture of the studio is extremely accepting of all yoga people and yoga bodies. I never feel judged or out of place. When I do yoga at other studios in other towns and states, even if I really enjoy it, I always come back to Sanctuary and feel like it is my home yoga studio.

Sanctuary is the place to practice yoga in Litchfield County! There are two studios to choose from, one in Canton and another in Torrington. Both are lovely spaces - clean, bright, and warm. The owner Heather is always around, teaching a number of classes herself, or sometimes taking a class with you! She is always doing more for the community through her studio - affordable passes, community events. Her choice of teachers is stellar - I love Andrew, Chris and Bettina. The community of practicioners is also friendly and welcoming. Try it!

I signed up for unlimited yoga classes in October at the studio in Torrington and have been going about 3 times per week. The power flow and open flow classes are heated (bring a towel and water!) which is a nice respite during these colder months. There is a good amount of variety in the flow from one class to the next so it’s never repetitive or boring. The instructors do a great job of explaining different modifications and encouraging students to work within their bodies’ limits and do what feels right for them in that particular moment. They create a welcoming, comfortable environment

I was excited to check the place and learn a little more about how a yoga class goes. Unfortunately the front desk person and also an instructor, was not helpful at all. Since I never done a class before, I was expecting him to tell me everything I needed to know (class hours, what to expect, what should I bring, the facility, etc). The 2 stars is for the looks of the place, which seems to be pretty nice, and because one of the members overheard me asking about family class, so she actually told me about it instead of the receptionist/instructor.

Sanctuary is a lovely place that allowed me to be the "Yogi" I want to be! Which is to say I am not really , but my point is everyone is helped to feel that this is their practice and whatever that looks like or feels like is legitimate and valued. I practice there next to professional dancers as well as average people like myself just trying to be healthy in today's world. You are encouraged to push yourself OR nurture yourself and encouraged to allow yourself to listen to and follow what you need today.
