Ashtanga Yoga is a style of yoga popularized by the late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois during the 20th century. This method is very traditional, strong and heating with a set sequence, each posture preparing the body for the next. This class is taught gently and specific to the students in the room. Modifications are given to adapt each posture to the student and postures explored patiently in a relaxed manner. It is challenging but accessible to all levels. Give it a go! “It’s a yoga practice, not a yoga perfect”- S.K. Pattabhi Jois

A dynamic yoga class with both standing & seated traditional yoga poses. We build heat in the body and synchronize breath with movement to create space, build strength and flexibility. Feel energized, refreshed and connected to self. Most private sessions with Sarah are Hatha or Hatha/Yin mix.

Designed to target the connective tissue, ligaments and joints, Yin yoga is relaxing and grounding. We use a lot of yoga props to support the postures and each posture is generally held for about 1 to 5 minutes to allow the muscles to fully relax and the stimulation to be felt in the deeper tissues of the body. As it is very meditative and peaceful, Yin is the perfect end of day wind-down to prepare you for deep sleep. Perfect for beginners, or those requiring a slower practice.

Kundalini is known to be the energy potential inside all living beings, held at the base of the Spine. With Kundalini yoga the set of exercises aim to open and uplift this energy and distribute it throughout the body to be utilised for healing of the organs, the physiology, the mind, emotions and spirit. The class consists of Pranayama (breathing exercises), Yoga asana (postures), movements, chanting, relaxation and meditation. It is profoundly transformative, fun and the music is awesome! Warning: Kundalini yoga is so good it can be addictive! Bookings are essential. Please book by emailing Sarah hello@wellnesssanctuary.co.nz
