Yoga SanctuaryReviews 

The yoga sanctuary has been my salvation throughout some very frightening times ,Steve through he’s teaching has taught me focus ,clarity and strength . It’s a very special place

really great Yoga classes. The best I've found and most true to the philosophical aspects of the practice!

The Yoga Sanctuary has been in my heart ever since I started to practice Yoga as a student in Southampton. Now having moved back to Greece I am so happy I can continue practicing the Living Yoga method online. The classes are uplifting, full of life and power. Being now a new mum I find this very special way of practicing Yoga even more meaningful. I totally recommend the Yoga Sanctuary to new students and I congratulate Steve and Sarah for all their dedication. I look forward to visiting soon again!

I first discovered the Yoga Sanctuary after the birth of my first son. I was looking for a way to relax and help my mind and body adjust to the huge changes in my life and a form of exercise that would fit with family life. I soon found that a weekly class together with daily practice enhanced my life enormously, from the moment I walked into the haven of calm that is the Sanctuary itself.

When we moved away those weekly classes, which felt like both a true relaxation and a thorough workout, were deeply missed and it has been amazing to be able to join again since classes have been available online. I love the mix of a physical workout that put the emphasis on what your individual body needs/is capable of, and the way your mind gets a proper rest too. Add in Steve's pearls of wisdom and guidance along the way, all delivered with so much enthusiasm, compassion and understanding and you have an amazing recipe. I know my life is better for every class I join.

The Yoga Sanctuary is a beautiful community. The Living Yoga Method is a transformative and authentic approach to how we can live our lives happier and healthier. It’s simple, easy to do and adaptable for the modern yogi.

I love the Yoga Sanctuary. It has been a haven of peace and tranquility during lockdowns and beyond.

Just awesome. Diving deep everyday and loving every bit of the journey. Steve is one inspiring yogi 🙏🏻❤️✌🏼

I am truly grateful to the Yoga Sanctuary for setting up the online classes and resources. The opportunity to attend classes everyday has improved my life in ways that I wouldn’t have thought possible. Although we’re not together in the physical world, the feeling of being together, supported, and sharing the energy is real. How the Yoga Sanctuary has enabled and achieved all this is absolutely amazing.

The yoga sanctuary has changed my life in so many ways. I have done quite a bit of yoga but being middle-aged and not always the most flexible I felt like I wasn’t a ‘proper’ yogi. I lacked confidence. Steve is such an affirming teacher. He helped me understand that I have everything that I need inside me, and that I can allow yoga to really change me. I have learned I am more capable and stronger than I think - you are too! Steve will guide you with care, affection and love into being the best version of yourself possible. Importantly he doesn’t strip out yoga philosophy from yoga poses - it’s about our whole selves - physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological - not an exercise class or a flexibility competition. I love that the Zoom classes are full of all kinds of people of different body types, flexibility and a huge range of ages. It’s nice to see a good mix of men and women too. Sarah and Steve really care about what they do and they do it so well 💕

I’ve been going to Yoga Sanctury for almost 10 years and it’s transformed my life 😀

The Yoga Sanctuary is a very special place. Steve takes everyone back to the basics of yoga with the beginners programme so that we all have a good foundation on which to build a deeper, stronger and wider practice. The 'method' is a simple but very effective set of principles that guide and enhance growth. Unlike joining a class and fumbling about like a 'newby' at the back, you will be taught a comprehensive practice on where you can grow in a way that you will not have thought possible. It has been life changing for me and I know for others and it continues to grow and improve as Steve and Sarah develop and enhance the experience of members. It is magical.

I have been attending the Yoga Sanctuary for over 12 years with Steve, Sarah and their support team. It has truly changed my life. I started with a once a week yoga classes because it made me feel good and now I'm a full time yoga teacher, trained by Steve. They have taught me so much about myself and the world around me and I continue to learn form them everyday. Forever grateful x

What a wonderful journey, starting with the beginners course then going into level one living yoga practice!

Sarah and Steve are both amazing and inspiring teachers!

Once you start practicing, you will not want to stop ❤️

Owning to the fact that I’ve been moving a lot, I attended classes in different yoga schools and, with hand on my heart, the Yoga Sanctuary is the best . I regularly attended the Yoga Sanctuary from 2014 to 2017 and later was coming back for the teacher training course. Since my first session, I have enjoyed Steve’s approach to yoga and to practicing yoga. I value a lot the tradition and authenticity of teachings offered by YS, the infinite enthusiasm and energy of Steve, and equally infinite support of Sarah. All yoga sessions are a useful, inspiring and transformational. During my time with YS, I have grown in my practice and this practice helped me in overcoming many life challenges. Really great that the YS is online now! :)

This place is awesome, if you have lost yourself you can start the search here.

The zoom classes are amazing! Steve is a wonderful teacher, he explains everything so clearly and is really patient. Everyone is made to feel welcome and included and like they're making good progress no matter what level they're at. I'm new at yoga and the experience was much better than I was expecting, definitely want to continue with the practice

The Living Yoga method @ the Yoga Sanctuary is life changing, I have been fortunate to find a complete school of wisdom teaching's & tools to nurture inner peace & fulfillment, the various practices are guided with passion for life & pointers to a more conscious existence.

Authentic, effective yoga. If you have found the yoga sanctuary then look no further.

I started the 10 week beginners course about 1 year ago which was just right. I liked the commitment asked for by Steve as I was looking to do yoga as a lifestyle change, not just a hobby. I like all aspects of the practice. It helps with flexibility (I can now sit in easy pose for 1 hr compared to 5 min when I started.)
Today we did a 1hr Big Double Breathe which was pretty awesome. I love the afterpoise. You have to experience this yourself to get it.
Also we started a 30 day cold water challenge which is challenging but also fun. The upside to this strart to the day was I felt great all day. Being part of a friendly Sangha keeps the motivation up. Namaste.

The best yoga studio in Southampton- even more flexible with the on demand library as well as live classes.
