Only Authentic Yoga Studio in Vegas

by vegasgirl11

I'm serious about my yoga and the teachers who are training it and the Yoga Sanctuary teachers are far, far superior to any of the other yoga instructors around town. I took classes at the hot yoga studios and the instructors were more like gym instructors or personal trainers. They may throw in a few words about "mind, body and spirit" but you can tell they're not serious yogis. They come with this gym mentality and it shows through. There are also pilates, dance and fitness studios here that toss in some yoga classes I guess as filler --- but why would someone want to practice yoga in a space not sincerely devoted to yoga?? I don't get it. I want to study in a real yoga studio. I think Yoga Sanctuary all shows their dedication by their guest yoga teachers. They bring in some of the best instructors on earth like Seane Corn, Ashley Turner and Annie Carpenter to teach special events. I'm grateful that they care enough to bring their students something more.

• Pros: Their Yoga Teachers Are The Real Thing!

Believe the reviews! Yoga Sanctuary Rocks!

by geriOm

From the reviews I read online I thought this studio sounded too good to be true. Believe the reviews. The Yoga Sanctuary studios are absolute gems! Totally welcoming, great decor, and the best instructors in the area. I visited different yoga places in Las Vegas, but once I took classes here I have no interest in ever going to another studio. Plus they offer every style one could ever want to try - hot, flow, ashtanga, anusara and others. Yoga Sanctuary rocks!

• Pros: best instructors, great decor, make you feel welcome

Great Vibes ? Beautiful Spaces

by kgr3333

Every time I take a class at Yoga Sanctuary I find myself thinking "That is exactly what I needed," when I didn't even know that I was missing something or in need of something to begin with. Their classes are so liberating and leave you glowing inside and out. The studios are GORGEOUS and the teachers are top notch. They bring a lot of fun and lightness to the practice. If you are looking to get into yoga this is a great place to do it. They are ideal for a beginner or the super yoga master because their classes cover the gamut from easy/relaxing to sweaty/challenging. I've been to a number of places in Vegas that claim to be yoga studios and none compare to Yoga Sanctuary. I definitely recommend YS.

• Pros: cool atmosphere, friendly vibes from the moment you walk in. great, great instructors

The Best Yoga Teachers in Las Vegas

by Nict6543

I studied yoga at I believe every fitness club and yoga studio in this city and to me it?s quite simple. Yoga Sanctuary has the best yoga centers with the best instructors, bar none. Every teacher is inspiring and well-trained. Whatever type of yoga you want to practice, you?re sure to find classes here. They do exactly what they set out to do ? give you skillful instructors who teach every imaginable yoga style to all levels. Beginning yoga classes to advanced, gentle to vigorous, there?s something for everybody at their studios. With their package discounts they also make yoga affordable to all in the community no matter your income. Thank God their classrooms are big because their classes are very popular. It?s doesn?t hurt that the studios are also beautiful and serene spaces. They also offer some very cool workshops and guest speakers on the weekends. If you goal is fitness-related or stress reduction, roll out your yoga mat and you'll find the freedom to expand, evolve, and become your best.

• Pros: Best in every category you can think of.

Absolutely Adore Yoga Sanctuary

by agbox92

Oh my god I love this studio. Tried pretty much every yoga studio in this city before I landed here and this is by far my favorite. The teachers are amazing, there is a wide variety of challenging and easier classes, plus there is always a warm, friendly energy. You leave just feeling so much better than when you walked in the door. Great staff and vibe. I always feel connected when I?m at the studio and as a bonus I have made some very dear friends. Another nice bonus is all the class packages you can choose from. Whatever my needs or budget there is something that works for me. Besides the classes, check out their special events and workshops. (I just learned that Seane Corn -- THE FAMOUS YOGA TEACHER SEANE CORN -- is coming in December! Can?t wait!) Would totally recommend Yoga Sanctuary to everyone, in fact, I constantly do!

• Pros: great combination of yoga and people, good value

Amazing since Day 1

by yogawells

My first class at Yoga Sanctuary was almost a year ago. Not only was I new to the studio, but I was totally new to yoga. I had prepared myself to be a little intimidated and overwhelmed, but found the exact opposite even on my first day. The front desk person greeted me warmly which was a delightful start, and Kathryn who led the class was a knowledgeable and a giving teacher -- making me feel comfortable and capable. Every day since has been as great as that first one. I've taken yoga classes with almost all of the teachers -- each brings his/her own perspective to the class, but the common thread is a commitment to create a fun, inviting, and nurturing environment. I love that they have two studio locations so I can go to the center that's most convenient for me on any given day and follow teachers that are my favorites. The studios are also so beautiful. It's like I have a private oasis each time I visit. I feel lucky to have found such a wonderful home for my practice. Try a class -- you won't be disappointed!

• Pros: Beautiful studios, reasonably priced, friendly staff, great classes

FEELING STRESSED OUT? GO TO YOGA SANCTUARY

by giblv

All the recent economic news was getting me depressed. The whole situation was scaring the h*** out of me! So I called a close girlfriend to vent. She tried to calm me down but I was a mess. She then suggested that I come along with her to a yoga class that night because she thought it might help. I was not eager to go since I never did yoga before, but I felt so desperate that I went. It was a beginner class at the Yoga Sanctuary on Eastern Avenue and the teacher was named Heather. All I want to say is THANK YOU HEATHER AND THANK YOU YOGA SANCTUARY!!!! I could not believe how relaxed I felt by the end of class. The breathing exercises and the yoga stretches really brought me peace of mind. Heather made me feel so welcome and was very reassuring. The studio is also great, beautifully designed with awesome views of the mountains. I signed up for one of their introductory yoga packages (good deal!) and I try to take yoga classes twice a week. I sometimes also take classes at the Yoga Sanctuary studio on the west side. I am definitely coping better and I keep thanking my friend for introducing me to the studio.

• Pros: Big Thumbs Up! Studios, Instructors, Ambiance ... Highly Recommend!

New love for Ashtanga!

by Eutemia

I am an artist from New York, & when I am in town I go to Sherry Goldsteins. A few weeks ago I tried an ashtanga class with a teacher named Michelle. I was a little nervous, because I had never done Ashtanga before. However, I was surprisingly put to ease during the first 10 minutes! The instructor was so helpful,knowledgeable, & just so down to earth, that I really enjoyed the class! I have always had a wonderful experience there. I will be visiting soon, all the techers are great, & the schedule is very convenient.

In Praise of Yoga Sanctuary

by js91

When you?re on the road and away from your local studio, it?s always a treat to find a place where you can do some yoga and maybe even make a few friends. Yoga Sanctuary in Las Vegas is one such place. Truthfully my first visit to Yoga Sanctuary wasn?t to practice yoga, but simply to purchase a candle for my sister at their gift shop. But when I walked into the studio and had a look at their schedule and the space, I started to have a feeling that it might be a place worth trying out. The next day I came for an Ashtanga session and was pleasantly surprised to find a great class led by a very knowledgeable and helpful instructor. His name was Shawn. I noticed he was teaching again later in the week so I returned to take class with him once more. It was rewarding physically and for my soul. After class I chatted with some of the students and they were kind enough to invite me to join them at a nearby Starbucks. The company couldn't have been sweeter or warmer. If you are an out-of-town yogi I urge you to put Yoga Sanctuary on your "must visit" list. BTW, the students told me that Yoga Sanctuary just opened a second location in east Las Vegas if you happen to be staying in that part of town.

Kim Rocks!

by janiecemarshal

Last spring I found myself in dire need of some spiritual/emotional help, having just been dumped by my boyfriend and then my employer, blind-sided in a span of two weeks, I sought comfort in chocolate and hiding in my house. After a month of wallowing in pity and sorrow, I knew I had to do something.

The first couple of classes I attended, I would cry,silently during the meditation at the end of the class. The music touched the hurt in me even though I had no clue what the lyrics meant. I was out of shape, overweight and still feeling sorry for myself. And, even though I felt really discouraged because I could not do some of the positions, I kept at it. Kim's spiritual readings and the bliss that surrounds her when she teaches the class kept me going back. Not only did I get better at it, but by finding the peace that yoga gave me, I found my smile and my laughter again and trimmed down. I am certain that Kim has no idea how much she helped me through a really sad and challenging time in my life just by sharing her bliss and love of yoga. Thank you Kim.

• Cons: Sometimes some of the students are not welcoming. They never move their mats to give other space. I do not understand that as it seems to be contrary to what yoga teaches us.
