When my daughter was 4 (the wisest age a person could be), we were at a wedding and several friends of the groom were bouncing around singing, "shots, shots, shots." My wisened four year old looked at me and pondered, "I know they are important to be healthy, but Mama, why would you sing and dance a...

Two Sweet Pop-Ups are on the way!

I’m quite salty in my taste preferences. It's a survival tactic in steamy Florida. Yet, since early November I’ve required a daily dose of marshmallows in my afternoon cafecito. Being me, I decided I had to learn more about why those magical fluffs of sugar and tapioca have been such a panacea. ...

Ok Gainesville, you need to know that UF is planning on a full in person schedule for spring semester. I think that means around 30,000 undergrads descending on our town.

This semester has not shown any promise that they will respect local health and safety (just check my feed from last weekend). In fact, they are flat out lying about evidence of safety and not being transparent at all.

This is not happening at SF or other state schools. This is UF - not DeSantis, but DeSantis can stop this if we speak up.

Please sign and share. Our community numbers have gone way up since UF reopened, and campus is still a ghost town.

Again, I’m taking about tens of thousands of the highest carriers of Covid with the least to loose.

Ps, This is not like k-12 reopening. These “kids” do not live with their parents.

Growing up in Florida steeped my sister and I in risk mitigation. We avoided alligators walking the dogs, sacrificed toes to annoyed crabs in the tide pools, and checked under the dock to make sure our resident water moccasin was tucked away neatly before jumping in the lake. The first time I swam i...

primal movement + somatic exploration + yoga = full moon rewilding this week! 🐺 See you online in class!!! 🐺 https://www.yogagainesville.com/onlineyogaclasses 🐺 #primalmovement #somaticmovement #yoga #onlineclasses

When asking something of your body, it is best to ask nicely. 👣 This easy hip release is how I start most of my classes and my own practice. It helps me re align my pelvis and prepares my hip joints and spine for more fluid movement. I learned it from the amazing Susie Vought 👣 She is starting a new Awareness Through Movement series tonight at Sanctuary. Experience simple, effective, and safe tools to release tension and relearn healthy effective movement patterns. 👣

I love this Yoga Ball almost as much as I love my cats. I have been playing on it since the 1900’s - no joke it’s 20 years old so thank you @huggermuggeryoga ! 🏐 This is part one of my favorite things to do with it. It’s sped up 2.5x, and even at its regular pace these are things to work up too. 🏐 This week we are going to have a ball in class! This means there are only 8 spots available in the Tuesday /Thursday 5:45 class so register early! 🏐 #coreconnection #yoga #yogaball #everythingisconnected #theartoflivingwell

Chair yoga does not have to be cumbersome, it can be fluid and floating. 🌊 #chairyoga #bakasana #yogagainesville #yoga #theartoflivingwell

Tuesday morning moment of zen... 🐝 I spend an inordinate amount of time cultivating the clematis in my garden. I don’t have to help it grow, not even a bit. I have to keep it from devouring everything else and that is no small effort. A worthy effort for certain, because every year when summer is at its depth, it blooms as if to let me know, “this too shall pass.” 🐝 As you stroll in to the studio this week I encourage you to pause and enjoy the fragrance. It is not like a heady honeysuckle or jasmine. It is crisp and bright like fall. If you lean in a bit, you will also get to see the electric blue bees pause for a hot second. They are truly dazzling. 🐝 #yogagainesville #gnv #studiogarden #yoga #clematis #summer #garden #goldenrodiscomingsoon

There are only a couple spots left! Restore, Release, & Resonate a mini retreat with Melissa Montilla ​ Sunday, August 4th 10:00am – 12:00pm / $28 Renew, release, and practice kindness toward yourself with somatic release work, deep restorative yoga, and the integration of sound meditation. This class is appropriate for all levels and abilities. https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=14841513&appointmentType=5714231

Since I can not seem to figure out FB live, I am reposting the the full video... big announcements coming!!!!

Yoga for a Supple Spine starts today and I am excited for all the undulating we are going to do. 🐍 Here is a little spinal segmentation. Simple release work can change a lot in the body. Use a theraband or a soft thick elastic. No rigid yoga straps! 🐉 #yoga #yogatherapist #spinalhealth #undulate #theartoflivingwell

Yoga for every body.

Here is a Warrior 3 progression from the last movement clip I posted. Take something & change its relationship to gravity! #❤️ #yogateachertraining

I have a long standing pigeon pose rant. It was never meant to be a passive pose, and all to often it is taught in a way that it literally hangs off the joints of the pelvis. It’s not the movement that is the problem, but the emphasis that we give that movement. I love coming up with other options, and here is a particularly fun one we played with last week. . . #yoga #yogateacher #process #happyhips #coreconnection #pigeon #theartoflivingwell

Our Story

At Sanctuary we believe in the natural intelligence of the human body, mind, and heart. It is our work to create classes that support their innate capacity for healing; for wellness. Our teachers are experienced and educated in yoga, meditation, movement, human performance, therapeutics, and the beautiful art of living.

Wellness is a process, and crafting a wellness practice is individual and instinctive. We are dedicated to the practice of yoga as a tool for building and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through strength, flexibility, and body awareness, as well as satisfying the need for relaxation and stress reduction with compassion and joy.

At Sanctuary, we encourage the creation of wellness from within.
