Soulful Yoga with a Focus on Healing in Exeter, NH
Our Classes
Gentle + Meditation (Level 1)
A grounding class for healing, rest, and nervous system support. This class combines gentle movement, restorative postures, and guided meditation to help you reconnect with your body and breath. Most of our time is spent on the floor—seated, reclined, or supported—moving slowly through poses that release tension and encourage deep rest. We also explore transitions into all-fours positions and occasional standing postures, building strength and stability in a safe, supported way. You’ll be gently introduced to yoga foundations such as alignment, breath awareness, and mindful movement to help you gain comfort and confidence in your practice at your own pace.
For safety, students should be able to move to and from the floor, transition through all-fours positions, and navigate stairs independently. Best suited for those new to yoga, returning after time away, managing injury or balance concerns, or seeking a slower, nurturing practice that supports healing and calm.
Slow Flow (Level 2)
Mindful movement that builds steadiness and strength. Slow Flow bridges the space between gentle yoga and vinyasa-style movement, moving at an unhurried pace through standing and seated postures that link breath with movement to cultivate balance, coordination, and confidence. This class maintains Sanctuary’s restorative tone while introducing more active movement and gentle challenge to help you build strength and stability safely. It offers the benefits of flow-style yoga without the intensity or pace of a traditional vinyasa class, making it a perfect middle ground between Gentle + Meditation and Flow.
Students should be comfortable transitioning between the floor, all-fours, and standing positions. Best suited for those seeking a mindful, moderately active practice that builds steadiness and strength while remaining slower and more accessible than a traditional flow class.
Flow (Level 3)
A steady, breath-led practice to build strength and awaken energy and focus. Flow is Sanctuary’s most active class, designed for those who want to move, breathe, and build heat in a mindful, non-performative way. You’ll explore standing sequences, balance poses, and smooth transitions that develop strength, endurance, and inner stability—all guided by attention to form, breath, and safety. The pace is steady but intentional, inviting you to experience strength as an extension of awareness rather than effort.
Students should have a familiarity with yoga postures, be comfortable bearing weight through the hands, and move safely between floor and standing positions. Best suited for those seeking a mindful, strength-building practice that invites focus, heat, and grounded energy while honoring rest and reflection.
