Yoga Sanctuary

Welcome to Yoga Sanctuary Yoga Sanctuary studio is unique to New Zealand. As a brand new architecturally designed studio, Yoga Sanctuary provides the ultimate – a beautiful warm and inviting space for you to start or develop your Yoga practice. Complete with underfloor heating and a heat pump to cater for Christchurch’s wonderful weather patterns, your comfort is guaranteed year round. A first and one of its kind in New Zealand, Yoga Sanctuary includes the Great Yoga Wall system (from the USA) specifically for traction work. The wall accessories are fully adjustable to suit any height, size or shape. My studio props include wool blankets, NZ pine blocks, organic cotton straps, and hand crafted bolsters. These props are provided to help open and support your body in a variety of postures. Yoga mats are also supplied, but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Justine Simply put – family, marriage and the lifestyle that follows – were for me, and still are, physically, emotionally and mentally both challenging and rewarding! A tight body from years of weight training and tension in the neck and shoulders from stress were my initial motivators for practicing yoga. However, along with the release of the physical body, Yoga provided me with the perfect sanctuary for time out to reconnect with myself. I came away from a class feeling grounded and balanced. I felt happy to go back out into the world and face life’s challenges. I was back in touch with the feeling process and I could respond rather than react to a given situation. My whole body appreciated my efforts! I wanted more of that so I kept going back to class.
