Mon Jan 11 2010Since my first yoga experience here, I got hooked on this place. I noticed that there is quite a wide variety of people who visit ----- longtime yoga students, newbies (like me), hard bodies, not so hard bodies (like me) - it's great! Trust me when I say there is something for everyone -- different yoga styles, basics to advanced classes. The teachers have incredible energy and those who play music have great mixes. I like to challenge myself so I've started taking stronger classes. I sweat EVERYTIME I go! My body feels AMAZING!

Fri Oct 02 2009I'm serious about my yoga and the teachers who are training it and the Yoga Sanctuary teachers are far, far superior to any of the other yoga instructors around town. I took classes at the hot yoga studios and the instructors were more like gym instructors or personal trainers. They may throw in a few words about "mind, body and spirit" but you can tell they're not serious yogis. They come with this gym mentality and it shows through. There are also pilates, dance and fitness studios here that toss in some yoga classes I guess as filler --- but why would someone want to practice yoga in a space not sincerely devoted to yoga?? I don't get it. I want to study in a real yoga studio. I think Yoga Sanctuary all shows their dedication by their guest yoga teachers. They bring in some of the best instructors on earth like Seane Corn, Ashley Turner and Annie Carpenter to teach special events. I'm grateful that they care enough to bring their students something more.

Sat Aug 08 2009From the reviews I read online I thought this studio sounded too good to be true. Believe the reviews. The Yoga Sanctuary studios are absolute gems! Totally welcoming, great decor, and the best instructors in the area. I visited different yoga places in Las Vegas, but once I took classes here I have no interest in ever going to another studio. Plus they offer every style one could ever want to try - hot, flow, ashtanga, anusara and others. Yoga Sanctuary rocks!

Mon Feb 09 2009Every time I take a class at Yoga Sanctuary I find myself thinking "That is exactly what I needed," when I didn't even know that I was missing something or in need of something to begin with. Their classes are so liberating and leave you glowing inside and out. The studios are GORGEOUS and the teachers are top notch. They bring a lot of fun and lightness to the practice. If you are looking to get into yoga this is a great place to do it. They are ideal for a beginner or the super yoga master because their classes cover the gamut from easy/relaxing to sweaty/challenging. I've been to a number of places in Vegas that claim to be yoga studios and none compare to Yoga Sanctuary. I definitely recommend YS.

Sun Jan 11 2009I studied yoga at I believe every fitness club and yoga studio in this city and to me it?s quite simple. Yoga Sanctuary has the best yoga centers with the best instructors, bar none. Every teacher is inspiring and well-trained. Whatever type of yoga you want to practice, you?re sure to find classes here. They do exactly what they set out to do ? give you skillful instructors who teach every imaginable yoga style to all levels. Beginning yoga classes to advanced, gentle to vigorous, there?s something for everybody at their studios. With their package discounts they also make yoga affordable to all in the community no matter your income. Thank God their classrooms are big because their classes are very popular. It?s doesn?t hurt that the studios are also beautiful and serene spaces. They also offer some very cool workshops and guest speakers on the weekends. If you goal is fitness-related or stress reduction, roll out your yoga mat and you'll find the freedom to expand, evolve, and becom... Read more

Fri Oct 10 2008Oh my god I love this studio. Tried pretty much every yoga studio in this city before I landed here and this is by far my favorite. The teachers are amazing, there is a wide variety of challenging and easier classes, plus there is always a warm, friendly energy. You leave just feeling so much better than when you walked in the door. Great staff and vibe. I always feel connected when I?m at the studio and as a bonus I have made some very dear friends. Another nice bonus is all the class packages you can choose from. Whatever my needs or budget there is something that works for me. Besides the classes, check out their special events and workshops. (I just learned that Seane Corn -- THE FAMOUS YOGA TEACHER SEANE CORN -- is coming in December! Can?t wait!) Would totally recommend Yoga Sanctuary to everyone, in fact, I constantly do!

Thu Oct 09 2008My first class at Yoga Sanctuary was almost a year ago. Not only was I new to the studio, but I was totally new to yoga. I had prepared myself to be a little intimidated and overwhelmed, but found the exact opposite even on my first day. The front desk person greeted me warmly which was a delightful start, and Kathryn who led the class was a knowledgeable and a giving teacher -- making me feel comfortable and capable. Every day since has been as great as that first one. I've taken yoga classes with almost all of the teachers -- each brings his/her own perspective to the class, but the common thread is a commitment to create a fun, inviting, and nurturing environment. I love that they have two studio locations so I can go to the center that's most convenient for me on any given day and follow teachers that are my favorites. The studios are also so beautiful. It's like I have a private oasis each time I visit. I feel lucky to have found such a wonderful home for my practice. Try a class... Read more

Fri Sep 19 2008All the recent economic news was getting me depressed. The whole situation was scaring the h*** out of me! So I called a close girlfriend to vent. She tried to calm me down but I was a mess. She then suggested that I come along with her to a yoga class that night because she thought it might help. I was not eager to go since I never did yoga before, but I felt so desperate that I went. It was a beginner class at the Yoga Sanctuary on Eastern Avenue and the teacher was named Heather. All I want to say is THANK YOU HEATHER AND THANK YOU YOGA SANCTUARY!!!! I could not believe how relaxed I felt by the end of class. The breathing exercises and the yoga stretches really brought me peace of mind. Heather made me feel so welcome and was very reassuring. The studio is also great, beautifully designed with awesome views of the mountains. I signed up for one of their introductory yoga packages (good deal!) and I try to take yoga classes twice a week. I sometimes also take classes at the Yoga San... Read more

Fri Apr 04 2008I am an artist from New York, & when I am in town I go to Sherry Goldsteins. A few weeks ago I tried an ashtanga class with a teacher named Michelle. I was a little nervous, because I had never done Ashtanga before. However, I was surprisingly put to ease during the first 10 minutes! The instructor was so helpful,knowledgeable, & just so down to earth, that I really enjoyed the class! I have always had a wonderful experience there. I will be visiting soon, all the techers are great, & the schedule is very convenient.

Thu Feb 07 2008When you?re on the road and away from your local studio, it?s always a treat to find a place where you can do some yoga and maybe even make a few friends. Yoga Sanctuary in Las Vegas is one such place. Truthfully my first visit to Yoga Sanctuary wasn?t to practice yoga, but simply to purchase a candle for my sister at their gift shop. But when I walked into the studio and had a look at their schedule and the space, I started to have a feeling that it might be a place worth trying out. The next day I came for an Ashtanga session and was pleasantly surprised to find a great class led by a very knowledgeable and helpful instructor. His name was Shawn. I noticed he was teaching again later in the week so I returned to take class with him once more. It was rewarding physically and for my soul. After class I chatted with some of the students and they were kind enough to invite me to join them at a nearby Starbucks. The company couldn't have been sweeter or warmer. If you are an out-of-town y... Read more

Thu Dec 06 2007Last spring I found myself in dire need of some spiritual/emotional help, having just been dumped by my boyfriend and then my employer, blind-sided in a span of two weeks, I sought comfort in chocolate and hiding in my house. After a month of wallowing in pity and sorrow, I knew I had to do something. The first couple of classes I attended, I would cry,silently during the meditation at the end of the class. The music touched the hurt in me even though I had no clue what the lyrics meant. I was out of shape, overweight and still feeling sorry for myself. And, even though I felt really discouraged because I could not do some of the positions, I kept at it. Kim's spiritual readings and the bliss that surrounds her when she teaches the class kept me going back. Not only did I get better at it, but by finding the peace that yoga gave me, I found my smile and my laughter again and trimmed down. I am certain that Kim has no idea how much she helped me through a really sad and c... Read more

Wed Oct 10 2007I'm new to Vegas and I've tried 4 studios. This was by far the most expensive and least pleasant of the group. It's in a terrible location (far northwest) and the people were very unfriendly. I went to the 10:00 Saturday class. I do not recommend it.

Fri Aug 31 2007After having studied at several other local studios, I finally checked out Goldstein's Yoga Sanctuary. What took me so long! Yoga Sanctuary's classes are head and shoulders above the rest, and so is the studio space. Big, clean, beautiful. You won't want to leave because the atmosphere is so nice. They offer an eclectic mix of styles, including flow, ashtanga, hot, power, gentle, beginner. You DEFINITELY have choices. They also have a great lineup of teachers who were all very friendly. Their instruction was insightful, caring and accomodating to all fitness levels. I highly recommend checking out this space. (This is definitely Las Vegas' best kept yoga secret.)

Fri Jun 22 2007I'm sorry I didn't find Yoga Sanctuary sooner--it has made such a difference to me. I had been thinking about trying a yoga class for a while but I was a little nervous about my abilities and didn't want to look foolish. My sister and her boyfriend kept telling me to try a beginner class at Yoga Sanctuary. (They both take more advanced classes at the studio and are in unbelievable shape!) One day I finally got up the courage and went to a yoga basics class at Yoga Sanctuary. The teacher Lucrezia assured me that I would be fine and she was right. She's a great instructor and would show how every pose could be varied if the students didn't have the flexibility to do the full pose. I now love my yoga classes and I cannot believe the vast improvement in my physical body and overall well-being. I feel happier, focused, a deep serenity within. To all prospective and new students, I say jump in! Just start with beginner classes. You will be astonished to feel yourself grow exponentially. Like... Read more

Sun May 13 2007I love this studio and am very grateful to have found it. Everyone working here is wonderful and treats you like family. The teachers are superb and give you very personalized instruction. The interior is simply beautiful, both in form and substance. My first impression was warm and welcoming. None of that has changed. I can't imagine taking yoga at another place (and I hear the same thing from so many other students here). There's a connection you develop to the teachers here, that frankly, I've failed to find anywhere else. I feel like a different person after each class and I can tell you, I've gone from 0 yoga to yoga 3 times a week and I am hooked.

Sat Feb 24 2007I was visiting a cousin in Las Vegas last week and heard that Max Strom was teaching a workshop here on Friday night so I took it. (I was a regular at Max's class when he taught at Sacred Movement in Santa Monica.) Being a yoga snob from L.A. I was prepared to be underwhelmed by this studio, but it was awesome. The studio classroom was bigger than anything I'd seen in L.A. and the atmosphere was very zen. Cool space. There was also a genuine warmth to the place. If I didn't have to return to L.A. I would have come back and taken some classes here. They had flow classes scheduled every day which I love. I also met some of the studio's instructors at Max's workshop and they were extremely friendly.

Mon Jan 29 2007Completely and utterly fantastic experience. I?ve done the rounds of all the yoga studios in Las Vegas. This one is the ONLY one that gets all the components right. Good mix of yoga styles and levels, many class choices every day, very roomy (and immaculately clean) classrooms, courteous staff, top notch instructors, beautiful and peaceful space. I love coming here and am continually inspired. I have absolutely no hesitation about recommending this studio to any student at any stage in their practice. They live up to their great reviews!

Tue Jan 16 2007Hands down, my favorite yoga studio in Vegas. Lots of room and airy, unlike many other yoga places in this city that tend to be tiny, makeshift operations. The teachers here are knowledgeable, encouraging and approachable; and even the students here are helpful. My favorite teachers are Sherry, Sasha and Kim, but the other teachers are also great. Huge class schedule too. Overall, this studio provides a much needed outlet for me physically and mentally.

Sun Jan 14 2007I was attending a convention in Las Vegas last week and needed a yoga break, so one evening I took two classes at the Yoga Sanctuary studio on Sahara. This is a wonderful studio with amazing instructors. I felt a part of the "family" the minute I walked in the door and enjoyed the entire experience. The teachers were extremely knowledgeable, the space is beautiful, and the staff made me feel so welcome. I wish I could have stayed for their weekend workshops with Ana Forrest (I was quite impressed that she was holding events there.). I plan on visiting this studio again the next time I am in Las Vegas. I really loved it.

Mon Aug 21 2006I am a serious yogi. I have practiced for over 12 years and have studied with the finest yoga teachers in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston and New York City. I am beyond impressed by the caliber of teaching at the Yoga Sanctuary studios in Las Vegas. They definitely know their stuff. What's especially nice is the instructors are trained in different yoga styles so you can sample all sorts of yoga if you wish. All the teachers are loving spirits - I always feel welcome. The staff is also really warm and thoughtful. A friend of mine caught the flu and wasn't able to use all of the yoga classes she had purchased, but they were happy to extend her package when she brought in a doctor's note. Nice touch and very considerate. (FYI, you don't have to buy class packages although they are really economical. If you want you can drop in and take single classes.) -- One final recommendation: check out their special events. This studio brings in great yoga teachers from all over the world to tea...

Thu Jul 27 2006I have been doing yoga in Las Vegas for about six years now and have to admit that this facility is my least favorite. In my opinion, it's important to feel a sense of acceptance and comfort in a yoga studio, but here you're are simply a business transaction. My recommendation is to check out other studios in town, you will certainly find a more personal touch and better customer service.

Sat Oct 15 2005I have a crazy work schedule so I needed a studio which had many class options on different days and at different times. This studio fit my needs perfectly! They have a so many choices every day at their Las Vegas and Henderson locations. A big thumbs up to Yoga Sanctuary!

Sun Oct 09 2005Went to the yoga class where they play the live music. The class was crowded and you could really feel the energy in the room. The teacher Kim gave a great class and the musician played beautifully.
by yoginevada1963_11
Sat Oct 08 2005Very creative studio. Unique look and unique events. I went to one of their yoga classes with live music and I could have stayed there forever. The musician was a pro and seemed to be very in sync with the class and the teacher (who was also great).

Thu Sep 15 2005Go to this studio if you want to bliss out. With my workload and college courses, stress is a constant. I can't wait to get to class at this yoga school. Immediately after work I'm there! I'm always 100 times calmer after class. The breathing exercises, the stretches, etc. lift my spirits, and my whole body feels better.

Wed Sep 14 2005This place is a find. They offer every possible type of yoga class you could ever want. The Candlelight Yoga classes in the evening are my favorite. Total bliss. The classes and the teachers really breathe life into my day.

Wed Sep 14 2005I had never practiced yoga before Yoga Sanctuary and now I am hooked. The instructors, are very friendly, caring, and eager to assist you. The space is so inviting and relaxing you'll hate to leave. Self-conscious beginners ... this is a great place to start and grow.

Wed Sep 07 2005I recently relocated to Las Vegas and was desperately seeking a yoga studio. (Miss my yoga teacher in Chicago BIG TIME!) When I asked around, everybody told me to go to the Yoga Sanctuary. I took a class there but also checked out all the other yoga centers here. When I finished my litle yoga studio tour, I returned to the Yoga Sanctuary and signed up for a class series. After seeing what was around I couldn't imagine practicing anywhere else. The space is awesome and the class schedule is outstanding. Lots and lots of classes and convenient times.

Tue Sep 06 2005Im laughing like crazy reading some of the negative comments here. The Yoga Sanctuary studios are far and away the best yoga studios in Las Vegas. Their teachers are phenomenal, their studios are absolutely gorgeous, and they offer more styles of yoga and more classes than any other place in this city. In fact, the Yoga Sanctuary studios surpass many of the great yoga studios I've visited in Los Angeles. Ignore any negative reviews here and experience Yoga Sanctuary yourself. You wont be disappointed, in fact, youll be thrilled that you did. Keep up the good work, Yoga Sanctuary!

Sat Aug 06 2005A a Yogi for many I do not usually like to speak negative of anyone but in this case I find it necessary. The owner of these yoga studios is so focused on money that it ruins the experience for students. I completely recommened trying other studios who opperate from true Yoga Principles in the Las Vegas area. It is sad to see money become the focus instead of simply one of the many rewards gained by your seva to your students. Gary

Sun Jun 05 2005I can't give a high enough rating to the two Yoga Sanctuary studios. Every single class I have taken has been phenomenal. All the teachers are dynamic and are well-schooled in yoga. The instruction couldn't be better - I've learned so much. The "Sanctuary" name really fits. The studio ambiance is very appealing and pretty, yet very calming. The Yoga Sanctuary studios were recommended to me by many people. Now I understand why.

Fri Apr 15 2005The two Yoga Sanctuary studios in Las Vegas are unbelievable. Beautiful decor ... very spacious ... inspiring teachers ... wide variety of classes. I've been to the top yoga studios in California and New York, and the Yoga Sanctuary studios are on a par with them. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced student you'll find many classes to choose from.

Thu Feb 24 2005I came to Yoga with this facility with a broken foot and bruised spirit. They didn't turn me away but spoke to me with concern and with caring and never pushed me beyond my limits, but I did participate and totally enjoyed the experience. This made me stronger and more resolute in living with adversities. They have a nice clean facility and nice and informative instructors.
