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.

Uh oh! We’ve got an outage! 🤦🏻‍♀️💻❗️

A major server company has reported a nationwide outage- and were part of that group! You may find that Momence is not working, and you won’t be able to access your account. We are patiently waiting for everything to return back to normal- but until then, just know we are still here for your yoga! We are unsure when this will be resolved, but will update you as soon as we know. 💚🙏🏼💚

Today is National Take a Hike Day! 🥾🚶🏼⛰️

As many of you know, Gary French (co-owner of TYS, and Jennifer’s other half) has been on the Appalachian Trail as a South Bound through-hiker. While he’s home for the holidays now, we wanted to share some snaps of his adventure! 🌄

The Appalachian Trail is almost 2,200 miles long- a footpath that runs from Maine to Georgia (if you’re heading southbound) and crosses through 14 states! Gary has about 600 miles to go- having completed over half the trail from June to November. He will return in the spring to finish to avoid the deep wells of winter on the trail, but will finish the whole thing within 365 days.

This is quite the feat for someone who planned and executed this adventure in about a months time- most through-hikers plan this trip over months, sometimes years. This super fast decision got him the trail name of Shotgun- a name awarded to Gary on the trail. Most people get trail names once they start meeting and talking with other hikers and people along the way - and his trail name is well earned!

So happy Take a Hike Day! Where will you get out into nature today? 💚🙏🏼💚

It’s World Kindness Day! What could you do today to sprinkle some kindness? A random smile to a stranger, and hug to a friend, a quick text to someone you haven’t seen in a while. It’s all counts, as long as you lead from the heart! Share you moments of kindness below! 💚🙏🏼💚
