Absolutely love this yoga studio! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and peaceful. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely care about each student’s journey—whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. The classes are well-structured, thoughtfully paced, and always leave me feeling refreshed and centered. I’ve noticed such a positive difference in both my physical and mental well-being since joining. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nurturing and empowering yoga community!

Went in to drop off something. Never was meaning to do yoga. Felt a welcoming, safe, non-judgemental environment/vibe. Tried it out. My co-worker and I now go after working a 12-13 hour night shift...it really helps to let it all out...the stress, the anxiety, the pent-up frustrations of the night work.
After yoga, I go home, to bed, with less on my mind, not coming in the door with the "weight" I used to carry home. I just feel lighter. They helped me give back my anxieties, pain, negative thoughts, to the Universe, to the Earth...not to carry so much on my shoulders.
Lol, I am probably the worst when it comes to Yoga. Heck, you could probably use me as an example of how not to look when posing. But, and there is always a "but", they allow you to put in what you want, , do "you". They have super, super caring instructors. Better than I deserve. We are lucky to have Ms. Lindsey, Ms. Jodi, and their super- talented, kind, caring staff. Yet, they allow me to go at my pace. There is no competition or judgement. Heck, I wear my scrubs after work. This isn't a beauty show studio.
Come here only if you want kindness and understanding (and some great yoga)...acceptance and serenity. I found it and I hope you do as well. I'll be the guy in scrubs trying his best, but being accepted nonetheless!!!
Peace my friends.

This studio is a great place if you are looking for a place you can belong. I took my first class here and it has been home ever since. The instructors here are friendly, knowledgeable, and help you with your individual needs through each class. I've been to many other studios but none have been so welcoming. This place isn't just a place to practice yoga, it's a community where you can be yourself.

I LOVE this studio. It has been home to my practice for the last two years. The trauma bases approach to yoga is so inviting it does not matter if you have never practiced or have practiced your whole life.
This place is more than a studio it is a community growing and healing together! I try and take new people when ever I get the chance. The owners and staff are amazing and I cannot see myself practicing regularly anywhere else.

Home. Without a doubt, this is most inspirational space I have ever entered... Including the outdoor places in the community when fun classes go off-site :)
The energy of Sanford Yoga as fed by the Knapps & their chosen family of both leaders and students feeds my soul like no yoga class I've ever visited before. Classes and services combine technically safe, sound, and therapeutic practices with a contagious passion for total wellness... Body, mind, spirit; individual & community.
There's no place like this yoga home. 💜

Best place for all your yoga needs and wants! Every instructor is a lovely mix of patience and light. We're always walked through every movement with detailed explanation, for those of us who are fairly new to the yogi lifestyle. No one is ever rushed through a class, or out the door. It's Yoga with Friends, every time you go!

I recently wrapped up the five week “Yoga for Beginners” series and I LOVED it! Although I have been doing yoga on and off for years, I want to incorporate yoga more in my routine. I’m so glad I found this studio right down the road. My instructor, Sally, was very encouraging and challenged us every week. I have been able to explore more of the classes that the Sanford Yoga Center offers these past five weeks. I highly suggest anyone interested in yoga to check out this studio in Jonesboro!

This place is a little piece of magic. I honestly love this yoga studio. The owners (Sally and Holly) are great about making this a judgement free zone. I haven’t taken one class that hasn’t been a fun and encouraging environment. This studio emphasizes accessibility so they teach you how to use the props (blocks, straps, bolsters, blankets, etc.) so that everyone can do everything. I’ve never been to a yoga studio like this. There are no egos, even the harder classes are taught in a way that you feel encouraged to do what you can. If I could, I’d be there everyday. They offer everything from ashtanga and power flows, to gentle/restorative. Highly recommend no matter your level!

Wooooow ya'll! I LOVE this place! The owners/teachers are AMAZING! Sally and Holly are so supportive, encouraging, and talented; but, they are still so very humble and honest. You can't help but notice how they make each and every person who walks through that door feel welcomed and proud of themselves. I started yoga with one main intention: Strength. I am now so very proud of my self, and so much stronger than I thought I could be.... Are you struggling with being un-motivated but "wish you could workout or run to lose weight"? I promise, learning to use, manuever, and build strength in each and every inch of your body would help you gain all the motivation and confidence needed. I only attend one class a week, and drive all the way from Angier. It is the main thing I look forward to every week. Bottom line: If you decide to take the journey to gain self awareness through yoga, begin it at Sanford Yoga Center; You will never leave disappointed!
Ps- it is super clean, super chill, the cool rags at the end are amazing, and the bathroom sink is the coolest thing ever. 😍

I loved the service! Sanford Yoga Center Studio is worth experiencing. The warm and welcoming space of the studio itself. You can feel the peace as soon as you enter the studio. The teachers are amazing! Taking the time to assist each individual who needed assistance during sessions. I love their ability to teach to all levels during sessions. Sally ( owner/teacher) is such an amazing soul and I am so thankful to have crossed paths with her. If you ever need to take a break for yourself, time to revive your body and soul, time to refill your cup, then I highly recommend this studio. I will forever be an out of town regular!

Sally & Holly are both awesome. I love that they both perform all the yoga exercises and movements with the class. They both explain very well the next steps. This has been great for beginners like me. We are fortunate that they take the time and come to our workplace after hours to give us yoga lessons. The best yoga place in Sanford!

Private sessions with Sally post having a baby were awesome! Personalized to meet me where I was but also challenging. Eased back into group classes and felt much more prepared. Group classes are welcoming and instruction given based on all levels within the same class. Don’t be afraid to try the studio you will be welcomed and leave feeling refreshed!

Sally and Holly have created an amazing yoga community right here in Sanford. Classes are led by knowledgeable and friendly folks. My comfort zone includes gentle and restorative yoga, but when I step outside into a flow class or yoga mala, I am encouraged and supported. Sanford Yoga Center gets bonus points for the way in which they give back to our community with their periodic donation based classes to help area non profits.

It is quite an intimidating thought to walk into a strange place to learn to do something you have never tried before...I have never regretted it!
Here, I am always ...no exception...greeted and made comfortable by the instructor and also by many of the other participants. There is no pressure here...the environment, relaxing and welcoming. We laugh quite a bit too.
It is really a special place where you can get stronger, both physically and mentally.

Sanford Yoga Center is a gem. The owners Sally and Holly have created a sanctuary for all levels of yogis. The teachers are so welcoming and really enjoy helping each of us grow in our practice. And oh that feeling of relaxation when they place the aromatherapy cloth on your forehead during shavasana, the best!

It's hard to find a yoga studio that is as wonderful as Sanford Yoga Center. I've taken classes with most of their teachers and I've always been impressed with the level of knowledge that they bring to each class. I feel like I'm learning something and not just stretching. More importantly, they are super friendly and welcoming, which is great for someone like me, who is not a gifted yogi and who wants to do yoga to supplement and balance Crossfit. They immediately make you feel like you're a part of a community, and encourage you along your yoga journey. I could not recommend this studio highly enough. You won't regret it and your body will thank you!
