Sanctuary Yoga & Mindfulness

We are closing our doors but not our hearts.💛

In the yoga tradition there are considered 5 main aspects or phases to the cycle of everything in this world: ✨
1) Creation, Birth or a Pouring Forth: "Shrishti"
2) Maintenance or Duration: "Stihti"
3) Reabsorption, Destruction, Ring of Fire: "Samhara"
4) Concealment, Illusion, Forgetfulness: "Tirobhava"
5) Grace or Revelation: "Anugraha"
✨At any given moment in any aspect of our life: work, relationships, and anything really, if we can gain clarity as to which of these above phases we are in, then we can align with life more skillfully. At this moment in time, we have realized much to our heart's ache, that we are at the "Samhara", reabsorption phase, of our business and will be closing our physical doors.
There are more details as to reasons we made this painstaking decision on our homepage (link in bio).

We will hold our online classes through ✨Friday, June 12th✨and invite you to join us to see and support your favorite teachers and practice with our beloved community members as we bask in these last few moments of this iteration together.

Kilkenny will continue to teach her Tuesday Edge class 12-1:30 for $10 through the summer. And check out her Yoga Lifestyle Podcast “Modern Mystic” *link in bio.✌🏽
Many of the other teachers are teaching on-line so please support them as well and find them on social too!
We are SO deeply grateful to each one of you who have been there through one, some or all of our "cycles" (as mentioned above). Your presence has made our community what it is, a true Sanctuary: a safe and sacred space for growth, self knowing, healing and transformation. The memories, growth and love that was shared in our walls will be forever etched in the momeroy of each of our hearts.
We are also SO grateful to our brilliant teachers who have shined the light of the practices and touched so many lives in doing so as well as our admin. jedi team, who has kept the container for all of this healing & transformation together.🙏🏽
Feel free to let us know creative ideas that you might have for our special community to stay connected. Practice and potlucks in the park?
Thank you for your support.💓

“An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.” - Gandhi☮️”Ahimsa” translated as “non-violence” is one of the main practices of Yoga.

THIS Tuesday, all monies collected for classes will go directly to the George FIyod Memorial Fund & Black Lives Matter organization. (Tuesday Schedule:
8am Everyone, 12pm Edge & 6pm Everyone.)

Though we aren’t physically together, our amazing community is staying very connected which is imperative for both our physical and mental health (and new friends are joining us, even for Kilkenny’s “Edge” class pictured here 😇).
We are still keeping our virtual class prices low ($10 for yoga, $5 for mindfulness meditation) AND still have our new students specials (unlimited yoga $44, and unlimited meditation $55) which run for an entire month!

@ Sanctuary Yoga & Mindfulness

Forget cleaning your house this holiday weekend, join us for yoga instead! 💓We’ve added a luxurious Restorative Yoga class on Sundays, yummm!
✨Sunday✨
9am Essentials
10:30 Everyone
12:00 Meditation
*4:00 Restorative (*new class!)

✨Monday Virtual Studio Closed✨

We are a “community activated” studio and we aren’t stopping from spreading the love in our beloved city whether it be continuing to offer yoga & meditation classes online AND also to sponsor this art through project by local artist extraordinaire
Even if we think we have it bad, there are always others who have it harder, and this practice of helping others called “karma yoga” is at the heart of yoga. It also is a way to pull oneself out of one’s own myopic view when one is down & out! Isn’t it beautiful here at Ruth & Clearfield in Kensington? ❤️
