Yoga FAQ´s
Healthy yoga practice helps us become more stronger, more flexible and more balanced. Because of this, our organs and body systems function better. When everything in our bodies function better, we feel better and have happier, more vibrant lives. Yoga is one of the oldest scientific methods for health and happiness on the planet.
Of course you can and you should. Even though it can be challenging to work through stiffness, it’s so very worth it. Our talented teachers will help you to find the right positions to open up your body in balanced and healthy ways. Always remember, the right posture is the right one for you. Beginners simply do simpler poses so that their bodies open up gradually, without stress or risk of injury.
In most cases, you certainly can still do yoga at The Sanctuary. We are able to help people move through minor injuries, niggles, and other imbalances. However, if you do have a serious condition that has been diagnosed by a doctor, we are not able to offer deeper level yoga therapy for serious conditions. It’s best if you seek advice from your doctor before you start any intensive yoga.
The Sanctuary has been built around creating healthy living practices. To support yogic lifestyles, we have a number of wonderful things you can do. We have a clean diet menu that offers tasty healthy dishes. We have a fasting and Wellness Centre that can provide you with dietary advice, as well as offer short or long fasts and cleanses. We have a steam room to help you loosen your muscles and purify yourself. There is also massage and numerous other special treatments provided by our team of expert practitioners. The Sanctuary provides a place for you to come and heal, grow and nurture yourself through yoga and so many other offerings.
We are very excited to offer advanced work for experienced yogis. Our 8.30 class provides the most challenge with opportunities to explore deeper backbends, arm balances and inversions such as headstand as well as the more advanced concepts of philosophy as well as pranayama breath cultivation, meditation and other classical Hatha Yoga practices.
