Sanctuary´s moving to ¨hybrid¨ classes -
continuing online, but adding an in-person option!
We will surely miss our recent outdoor Yoga venue, but we are thrilled at the prospect of initiating an in-studio experience for at least the limited number of students (seven) that we can accommodate while complying with Michigan´s distancing and indoor meeting rules for gyms, etc.

Véronique’s classes
 are going to be taught as a hybrid of online and in-studio classes. This provide two advantages:
  1. All of the previously outdoor-only classes with be joining the existing online classes using Zoom.
  2. All of Véronique’s classes will now have a new in-studio attendance option with significant changes for COVID-19 safety that hopefully will continue to provide those who desire it, a valuable in-person practice experience!

If you would love to return to an in-person experience, but aren´t sure about the safety, here are a couple of suggestions that may help:
  • Attend an online class and see for yourself if the studio setup looks safe (taking into account the totality of safety measures described here).
  • Speak up! Let Véronique know your concerns and give her your input to improve student safety. Her contact info is at the bottom of every page on this site..
Community Yoga back outside for Sunday Nov. 8th!
OK - ready for this?  ... weather permitting we're gonna try an Outdoor Sunday Community Yoga - Indian Summer edition! The weather will be upper-60s and Véronique just can´t pass up the opportunity to get out one more time 😁

Since we’ll be outside, there won't be an ONLINE option tomorrow (Nov. 8th)!

* Outdoor Class Notes:
  1. ​The classes are held on the lawn within sight of the studio's dedicated off-street parking lot
  2. Outdoor classes are weather-dependent, so watch for cancellations on the Sanctuary Yoga Facebook page or text Véronique at (269) 598-2083​ if the weather seems suspect.
  3. Spacing will be six (6) feet minimum between students, masks & teacher adjustments are at student's discretion
  4. Access to studio facilities for bathroom and changing privacy is available before, during and after class (there is hand sanitizer aplenty, all surfaces will have been sanitized before class)
  5. Sorry, outdoor classes will NOT be available via Zoom
See the schedule page for which day(s) each class is offered.

Yin Yoga
​1 hour 15 mins
$55 per 4-class pack, $15 drop-in
​Yin Yoga focuses on longer holds of the postures in order to access and release the deeper layers of the body.  The holds last between 2 and 5 minutes which allows a steady and peaceful focus on the joints.  This class is slow and meditative, having a deeply calming effect.

Easy Going Yoga 
1 hour 15 mins
$56 per 4-class pack, $16 drop-in
An on-going gentle yoga class for students desiring plenty of warm up, easing into and out of the poses for those of us who are less "bendy".   Perfect for students recovering from injury or enduring chronic biomechanical issues (e.g., knees, lower back, etc.).

Vinyasa Flow (level 1 & 2)
1 hour
Online $12
​Flow classes weave and sequence all kind of postures in either a very slow pace to stay present with each move in and out of the Asanas (poses), or, at a very dynamic pace to keep you moving.   Regardless of pace, Vinyasa style links the breath to the movements.  Level 1 is slightly more introductory than level 2, but both are intermediate.
