I’ve been taking Beginner Aerial since January, amongst other classes, and have noticed marked improvement in my flexibility and strength. Natasha is an instructor that motivates me to push a little harder and describes poses and moves so well that you don’t have to even look at her to understand the next step. I highly recommend classes at the Sanctuary!

Coming here is the best part of my week. The yoga classes are uncommercialized, allowing me to truly focus on my practice and meditation from start to finish, while building strength and flexibility. I’ve recently started beginner silks classes, which seemed intimidating at first, but with a proper warm-up and clear instructions, I’ve been able to follow through with each movement. Natasha is always there, offering individual guidance and support, making the whole experience feel manageable and rewarding.

My daughter has had her birthday party twice at the Sanctuary Yoga studio with Natasha. The laughter these girls share while doing something active, fun, and unique is priceless. The Aerial silk yoga is amazing! The studio space is super cute with great energy. Thank you Natasha for being so patient and kind to the girls!

The Sanctuary Yoga Studio is a true gem! The ambiance is serene and radiates good energy and good vibes from the moment you walk in. The New Moon, Full Moon, and Sound Healing classes are transformative. Each visit leaves me feeling balanced and centered. I also love that there is a little shop sectioned off as you enter the studio where you can buy crystals, sage, candles, oils, and apparel. I am so grateful to have found this wonderful yoga studio. The Sanctuary Yoga Studio brings a sense of well-being into my crazy, busy life. Natasha has created such a tranquil space where I can truly unwind and find inner peace.

The Sanctuary Yoga Studio is a gem in Edison Park. From the moment you walk into the studio, you feel welcomed—as if you've been a client for years. What makes The Sanctuary stand out is that no matter how new or seasoned you are in yoga, Natasha provides modifications for all skill levels during her classes. You never feel out of place. I love how no two classes are the same, so you will never be bored. Natasha always provides new ways to stretch and strengthen your body, helping you build a stronger you. The Sanctuary enables you to build your mind, body, and soul. I'm so happy I found this studio. I am a client for life!

I really enjoy the classes at the Sanctuary - I've taken a few aerial yoga and restorative yoga classes here and the teachers are amazing. I tried aerial yoga for the first time at this studio and the teachers were very supportive and accommodating to my inexperience so I always felt safe to complete the movements and challenge myself. Everyone is very kind and welcoming at this studio and I always leave feeling more relaxed and connected. It's a really great place to grow your yoga practice!

I have been a member at Sanctuary Yoga Studio since the beginning! Natasha has a beautiful way of teaching a class that feels directed right to me, at any given moment in my yoga journey. Whether I haven't been on my mat in months, or I'm recovering from an injury or maybe I've been religiously attending classes - the time spent is always perfectly matched to what I need in the moment. The moment I walk in the door, the feeling of "ahhh, just what I needed" hits me, and I'm so happy to be in a place that feels like home!

The Sanctuary is the best yoga studio. I've been taking classes for almost a year and every class is different. I leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Natasha the owner is so kind and talented. She always provides modifications for challenging poses making classes accessible for beginners and more advanced yogis. Natasha is clearly passionate and a joy to be around. I highly recommend the Sanctuary Yoga Studio.

Coming here has been life changing. I have been searching for mindful & physical place to practice yoga in PR for quite some time. The Sanctuary I found last year and I am so thankful for it. Natasha is fab and has a great little shop inside the studio of self care little treats including clothing and skincare. The studio offers a variety of yoga practices, aerial classes, sound bathes, and meditations. So happy I found this place!

I highly recommend taking classes at The Sanctuary . I have taken a few classes here now and I love them . I truly enjoy the intention behind Natasha’s studio. As soon as you walk in you’re greeted with a zen vibe which is fitting with the name of the studio . Attending sound crystal moon classes , acu yin and low hammock classes at The Sanctuary is a highlight to my day and a beautiful way to unwind in the evening .

The Sanctuary is the best yoga studio I’ve ever visited. The space is calm and elegant. Natasha, the owner and primary instructor, offers creative and challenging yoga classes for all levels. I’ve been taking classes at this studio for more than a year, and no two classes have been the same. The environment is friendly and non-competitive. Highly recommended!

I did not have a good experience here. Did not feel welcomed (though I was admittedly late due to traffic that day and google vastly u derestimated the time) and instructor made no eye contact nor approach me. Studio smell of perfume. I been doing yoga for years and it's the first time such a highly rated yoga studio turned out to be a disappointment.

This studio is extremely well kept and is a super clean and relaxing place to get your yoga fix. The studio owner natasha is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and well versed in many methods of meditation as well as yoga and aerial yoga. This studio has an extremely zen atmosphere and offers classes for all levels of yoga as well as meditation classes. The studio also promotes vendors and high quality products from small businesses from time to time. The studio does an excellent job of both making you feel included in a group as well as giving you your space to relax and unwind. 10/10 I would highly recommend.

The Sanctuary truly lives up to its name. It’s a peaceful zen place to do yoga and escape life’s chaotic schedule. There’s nothing better than going to one of the sound healing classes after a stressful week. They have classes for all different levels and even as a beginner to aerial, I now feel like a pro. There are so many cute items for sale, I can’t help but buy something every time I go to class. You won’t regret checking this place out!

I attended the beginners aerial silk class. The class was taught by Natasha. She was so awesome at walking the class through step by step on how to safely perform each move and simply supported each student. I was so scared but so excited to try something new and this class gave me the confidence to move on to trying the regular aerial silk class. Absolutely love this place & totally recommend to everyone!!! Totally gotta try it out! ❤️

Lovely, friendly and beautiful studio. Loved the style of the studio immediately upon walking in. Gives a very calm and exotic vibe. The classes were great. The instructor was great at teaching me aerial basics as I was a beginner, as well as challenging the more advanced students in the class at the very same time. Felt relaxed and rejuvenated, as well as getting a very decent workout on top of it. Highly recommend this spot!

This place lives up to its Sanctuary name.

I recently started my Yoga journey. After an exhaustive search of Chicago’s Northwest side, I found this absolute gem! Class sizes are small, the studio has amazing energy and atmosphere that really helps you relax and feel comfortable. The instructor, Natasha is super awesome, and is very accommodating and very very helpful, is attentive and will help you adjust your postures. Website is awesome, very user friendly, registering for classes and memberships is a breeze! I can’t wait to continue my yoga journey, and I strongly encourage others to take a class or purchase a membership to not only support this wonderful neighborhood business, but to begin or continue their practice!

Wow! If you want to find a studio where the instructors know their craft, look no further. Natasha (the owner) has created a studio space and class schedule that is accessible to all types of individuals, no matter where they’re at in their yoga journey. Haley is also an amazing instructor! They provide modifications (tons of assistive props available as well) for poses so that everyone can truly get as much out of their practice as possible. Both vinyasa and aerial classes are relaxing yet invigorating. Not only is the studio absolutely gorgeous, clean and mesmerizing, but is also stocked full of great merchandise as well. The studio is also available for booking private events! (ladies nights/kids birthday’s, etc.) I truly could go on and on about the Sanctuary! I feel so lucky to have been able to take classes there for years now. ✨

The Sanctuary is truly that, a sanctuary! Natasha is a wonderful instructor and caters to all levels with a variety of classes. I was tired of the same old classes at the big box yoga studios, and I love that Natasha changes things up with each class. The sound bath classes in the hammocks are amazing, and next up on my list to try is Aerial! If you're on the fence about trying a class here, go for it! You will not be disappointed.

Sanctuary yoga is hands down one of the best yoga studios I have ever been to. Attending both Natasha's and Haleys aerial yoga has been a life changing experience for me. I have herniated disks in my neck and back, and the low impact of aerial has made me feel the best Ive felt in a long time. Not only that but I was able to regain flexibility and Ive been able to significantly reduce stress. Both instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and skilled and from the moment you walk in the door you feel energized and welcomed. I look forward to every class and coming here is always the highlight of my week. If I could give sanctuary more stars I would!

I began going to the studio twice a week since January after recovering from an injury and ankle surgery. I used to be more athletic and had wonderful balance which all went away during recovery and a pandemic. I can’t say enough about Natasha and Haley… their teaching, patience and imagination! I love the atmosphere and I feel like each time I’m there, they offer something new and interesting, while still letting their students increase their pace and strength! I look forward to going, and can’t wait to zen out. I even graduated from PT because of my quick improvement, flexibility and increased strength in such a short time! I love going to sanctuary and you will too!! - Jennifer

I’m so glad I discovered this place!!! A lot of studios I’ve been to in the past are overcrowded, repetitive and just don’t offer the variety I crave which is what sets this studio apart from the rest!! The instructors are very knowledgeable and cater to all levels finding poses and modifications inclusive to both beginners and more advanced yogis. I went in there curious about aerial yoga and although the first few classes were new and challenging I found myself getting better each time I went and became hooked. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to start practicing yoga, deepen their practice or to try something new such as aerial yoga!

I absolutely love this studio! I’ve been coming here for over a year and have tried all of the classes. My favorites are aerial yoga and Hustle & Flow. I had never done yoga prior to coming here, but now I’ve noticed I’m stronger and more flexible. I look forward to the new and challenging moves in aerial each week. Both Natasha and Haley are great instructors! They walk you through all the moves and help you feel comfortable with the silks. I also can’t get enough of the products Natasha has for sale. There’s something for everyone especially with the holidays coming up, skin care products, incense, candles, perfumes, journals, etc.

I was enticed by the "noir" but also capturing black and gold theme of the studio, so i purchased the $40 unlimited week. Figured I could use some yoga, since I haven't been moving all quarantine. I didn't expect to enjoy the variety of classes from the beginner "lunar vinyasa" to the adept "Solar Vinyasa". But since I had a week I took full advantage, I tried aerial yoga too which was new to me, but it was an amazing time. Once I figured out to relax in the aerial silk and be mindful and trust in myself everything was smooth sailing. The owner Natasha is an awesome person 10/10 I highly recommend this place and am signing up for a membership!

This yoga studio's ambiance puts you into a "yoga frame of mind" the moment you walk in. The place is beautiful and the classes are really good. I was intimidated to take my first aerial class but that by far was the best workout I've ever had; it's great for your upper body and core strength, it engages your arms, shoulders and abs.
