Yoga Sanctuary

Yoga Sanctuary is a holistic, nonprofit, neighborhood studio located on Dakhóta Oyáte land we call South Minneapolis. 

Our priorities and purpose are grounded in creating an inclusive space where ALL are welcome to practice yoga that is safe, fun and compassionate. Whether you are discovering yoga for the first time or exploring new ways for your practice to enrich your life, we hope you’ll get to know us and become part of our welcoming, empowered community.

Our diverse group of instructors brings their deep yoga knowledge to our inclusive and respectful community. We encourage students to be open to exploring their practice playfully, with curiosity and courage through: In-Studio, Livestream & Outdoor Classes, our On-Demand Video Library, holistic Workshops and Yoga Teacher Training (230 hours).

As a holistic, nonprofit, neighborhood studio in South Minneapolis, we are committed to increasing access to holistic yoga for ALL who desire it. We intentionally keep our class and workshop prices as low as possible, but this is still not affordable for some folks. There is an increased sense of division in our culture, including yoga. The heart and soul of yoga is to UNIFY — within ourselves, outwardly with others and expansively with the Divine/Creation/Universe. 

We have outreach yoga programs in which we subsidize yoga for individuals who desire healing in a safe community and are not not able to afford yoga. We also offer yoga in the broader community, focused on nonprofits working with folks who have been harmed by systemic racism, through scholarships, financial contributions and donations of yoga. Your participation on Our Yoga Sanctuary community and your donations help to bridge this gap.

If you share our values and want to help others find inner and outer healing through yoga, please consider a tax-deductible donation toward our COMPASSION FUND. 

Your donation will help support:

• Reparations Rates for BIPOC communities

• Subsidized rates for those with financial limitations 

• Outreach Projects- through service and action-oriented efforts/volunteering

• Community Compassion Projects- financial and yoga support of other local nonprofits in their service to the community

Thank you for your support and for joining us.
