we are so glad you’re here

At Sanctuary Studios, we know it’s hard to be human but better when we do it together, and so we’ve created a space committed to community care. We offer over 70 classes every month, each designed to bring you back to your body and home to yourself. Every offering at Sanctuary Studios is pay-what-you-can, ensuring that when we say every body belongs, you know that we mean it.

You are most welcome with us, every day and in every way. Come see for yourself by scheduling a class, booking some bodywork, or spreading a blanket out in our community garden.

In many ways, the Sanctuary story is just like every other story.

It’s about an idea that wanted to be made, and so it found a person who might make it, and it settled there. In this case, that person is Sarah Stevens, our founder, and if you know anything about her story, you know that everything about it has been tending toward Sanctuary for as long as she can remember. From The Beautifull Project to Branded by Sarah Stevens, she has been hard at work for several years, trying to tell a different story about our bodies - a better story about our bodies.

But if you were to ask her, she’d tell you the Sanctuary story isn’t really about her at all. She’d say it’s about us. It’s about our collective need for community. It’s about the fact that no one ever really does anything alone and no one ever should. It’s about making the world a little bit better by doing it together.

And so Sarah would say that the Sanctuary story has yet to be written; she’d say we’re really just getting started; and she’d most certainly say that she wants you to fill in the pages with her.

So, come inside, and make your story a part of our story. We can’t wait to see what kind of ending we can write together.

What the Locals are saying!

"Sanctuary Studios is an amazing, hidden treasure. I signed up for a 9 am class during the week and happened to be the only person. Instead of cancelling, Abigail taught a class just for me, targeted at my needs. It was exactly what I needed that day to alleviate my back pain and tightness. It’s a beautiful space, with incredible instructors! I’d highly recommend anyone to check it out!" - Hannah H.

"This place 🙏🙏🙏 Class is welcoming of all bodies and skill levels. The owner is sweet and genuine. As a newbie, they made me feel comfortable by showing me around. This is what community feels like…I will definitely be back!" - Samantha G.

"I recently had the pleasure of experiencing two classes at Sanctuary Studios, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I stepped through the front door, I was greeted with warmth and kindness that will immediately make anyone feel at ease. The warmth is also evident in Sanctuary’s unwavering dedication to inclusivity and making every BODY feel valued. The instructors not only excel in guiding students through their practice with expertise and encouragement but also ensure that everyone feels comfortable and supported regardless of their skill level or physical ability." - Adam P.
