Yoga & Meditation

Yoga is a broad group of ancient practices originating in India which aims to integrate and unite the body, mind and spirit.  Though yoga includes both meditative practices and asanas (postures), it is the latter which is commonly described as ‘yoga’ in the West. 

At The Sanctuary, both aspects of yoga are taught, that is, postural practices and meditation.  Both are especially beneficial in addressing the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of recovery.

At The Sanctuary, our yoga practitioners are highly qualified and experienced with many years of teaching experience.  Yoga sequences are created individually for each client as each constitution requires a different programme. Our one-on-one teaching ensures that the practices are attuned to your own specific strengths and limitations.  Over the course of your programme, we will help you establish and develop a personal daily practice for the future.

The postures and breathing techniques we teach you will help to improve digestion, circulation and respiration, resulting in:

  • better awareness of your body;
  • deeper level of self awareness, that once experienced prevents a return to addictive behaviours;
  • relief from depression, anxiety, and irritability; and
  • a sense of calm within.
