September is National Yoga Month! During National Yoga Month, designated by the Department of Health & Human Services, festivities occur across the country. Hundreds of studios, teachers, and students join in. Come celebrate with The Yoga Sanctuary and discover the transformational power of a consistent yoga practice. Participate in our month-long game of Yoga Bingo and see the difference yourself! In addition to feeling stronger, more relaxed, and less stressed, you will also be supporting the Peace River Wildlife Center (PRWC). Our August 30th Community Class at PRWC kicks off the Bingo game, which culminates with a celebration for all participants and supporters on Sunday, October 1st. See you on the mat and in the world! Note: Please sign up at the studio’s front desk.

In honor of the UN International Day of Peace and Fall Equinox, The Yoga Sanctuary invites you to this annual event. Join us in chanting the sacred sound of OM 108 times. Chanting OM three times in a yoga class is beneficial, but chanting OM 108 times, in a community of people who believe peace is possible, is a powerful and memorable event. We’ll begin with a short discussion exploring the meaning of OM and the relevance of 108. The chant will then be followed by nine minutes of silence to absorb the vibrations of this powerful mantra.
