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 youre in town and need a great yoga class.

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.
