12pm – 1.30pm
Studio Only
£15
We create with every word we speak and thought we think in our mind.

Are you clearing and cleansing your mind daily and casting your words consciously with intention?

Join Jo Stephenson for a deep dive into the magical world of Kundalini meditation and mantra – Suitable for beginners

Explore practical Kundalini meditation & mantra in an easy, fun, relaxed way that you can use in your day to day life.

Kundalini meditation is an intentional way to awaken and unleash your inner unrealised potential, by moving energy through the chakras and body, to improve mind-body-soul balance, lower stress levels, build resilience and enable you to live and act consciously, with focus and intention.

Kundalini mantra has the ability to alter patterns of the mind on a physical and metaphysical level. Invoking positive sound vibrations that can elevate or modify our beliefs, self confidence and ability to receive clarity, prosperity in all areas of our lives.
The science of mantra works through their meaning and rhythmical repetition, the movement of the tongue, the mouth, and the changes of the chemicals of the brain.

“As you vibrate, the universe vibrates with you.”

Floating Gong Sound Bath with Craig Eddington & Jean Habron

Friday 17th May 2024
8-9pm
Studio Only
£15

A Gong Relaxation Sound Bath is a fantastic way to leave behind the stresses of modern life. It is also a great introduction to Sound Healing and Sound Therapy.

The Gong is played gently along with Himalayan & Crystal Singing Bowls. The captivating tones will lull you into a deep, restorative, relaxation.

There are a number of health benefits associated with achieving this state of deep relaxation: lower blood pressure, increased blood circulation, balancing of the nervous system, reduced mind chatter, better sleep patterns.

Some people gain mental clarity or feel very energised by the sessions. The session may even enhance your creativity. Some people also experience a reduced sense of pain, plus relief from symptoms of ongoing medical conditions and illnesses.

The sound helps to induce our natural relaxation response, taking us out of ‘fight or flight’ mode and into our restorative, parasympathetic state.

People with auto-immune conditions and conditions involving the nervous system seem to feel considerable benefits.

Participants generally leave with a feeling of inner peace and tranquillity and a reduced sense of stress, anxiety or worry.

A Gong Relaxation works on all levels of your being – mind, body, soul & spirit. The sound vibrations will provide a ‘sonic massage’ to your physical self and subtle energy fields, leaving you feeling relaxed, refreshed and restored.

Participants are encouraged to bring a blanket, a pillow or anything else you might need to make yourself cosy. Also, if you are unsure of the hammock feel free to grab a mat and get comfortable on the ground instead.

The hips are considered to be a storehouse of unresolved emotional tension.

Aerial Tricks with Julia Shulga

Sunday 9th June 2024
11.45am – 1.15pm
Studio Only
£15
Aerial Hammocks are large pieces of fabric which hang from the ceiling allowing you to make shapes, wraps, and perform tricks in the air. The hammock offers the support to use gravity to stretch out in each position, it can be far more comfortable than other aerial equipment. However it also challenges flexibility when moving through the equipment, and requires strong grip and forearm strength!
This workshop will teach you the various tricks for mounting and inverting on the hammock, and create beautiful wraps and shapes in the fabric. We will teach you to climb, wrap and drop in the fabric, to create beautiful rolls in the air and to increase your trust in your equipment. For those experienced in Aerial Yoga this workshop will build upon some of your traditional postures to perform them in a more dynamic way, utilising your strength to make movements smooth and strong.

Reasons I love the Sanctuary;
They have a huge variety of classes available at all times of day, 7 days a week making it so easy to fit a class into the day.
Natalie and Carol are amazing teachers.
All the staff are so friendly and helpful and always make you feel welcome.
They offer classes you cant get anywhere else in Wakefield.
Everyone should try Ariel Yoga, I highly recommend it. Barre Pilates is a great workout and has become my favourite class. Trigger Point Pilates really helps to relieve muscle tension. All classes are great and challenging in the right ways.
