a place

We are so glad you’re here.

Located on the second floor of the Spotlight Theatre building, we are a somatic studio that offers movement and meditation, breath and body work, art therapy, and community sourced workshops.

At Sanctuary, we honor the complexity of what it means to be in a body, and when you walk through our doors, we are committed to helping you feel safe and settled in whatever body you bring.

We offer over 80 classes and workshops every month and are funded by collective contribution which means that every offering at Sanctuary is pay-what-you-can, ensuring that you’re always able to do what’s good for you, regardless of your ability to pay.

Something Somatic for Every BODY

Fat bodies, thin bodies, stiff and stretchy bodies, old and young ones, too… every body belongs with us.

And because every body belongs, we’ve made sure that our movement classes are accessible even if you aren’t used to moving much. From brand new beginners to people with a regular practice, there is a class for every body at Sanctuary.

But also, it’s about more than movement. As a somatic studio, we are less concerned with how much you move and more concerned that you have a practice - any practice at all - that invites you to the sacred experience of being human. This is why our schedule is filled with creative offerings, all intended to give you a path back to your body and home to yourself.

Breathwork & Meditation

a people

We are not made to be alone.

Somewhere deep inside, we know this. We know that we are made for connection to ourselves and to each other, but we rarely find ourselves surrounded by enough safety to create what we crave.

Which is why we order everything at Sanctuary this direction - toward the kind of connection that becomes possible when surrounded by safety.

Belonging without belief.

Community without a creed.

This is more than a movement studio. It’s a path to seek shelter with each other.

Come be a part of something sacred.
