Community Spotlight: Angelica Castro
“Yoga has been foundational to my healing journey, releasing intergenerational trauma that lives in my body and mind, and in doing so, I have been able to reconnect and align with my authentic self.”- Angelica Castro
Bodyworker Spotlight: Naomi Ruth
I wanted to be a bodyworker since I was a teenager. Therapeutic bodywork was a regular maintenance for me while healing from minor dance injuries. Massage was a window into a pain-free existence for me as a performer, a tap dancer, and avid mover shaker.

Teacher Tuesday: Deep Breathing with Beth Donnelly Cabán
In every yoga class, we bring attention to the breath. The simple act of bringing attention to the breath, changes it, as Judith Lasater says. When we establish this as a habit in our life, breath becomes an eternal tool for calming and focusing the mind and bringing ease and relaxation to the body. Attention to breath grounds us in the present moment and brings us back to our center of being.
Introducing our new Studio Manager!
This has been a season of significant transition for Yoga Sanctuary. Amidst the change, what I am most grateful for is the love and care from our community. When Sara needed to find a new owner, I knew deep within that I needed to be that person. The hiring of our next studio manager is no different.
Member Mondays with Luahn Page
How long have you been a member of Yoga Sanctuary? My regular yoga practice and sporadic teaching has shadowed Sara’s career when I started at Northampton Yoga 26 years ago. I just followed Sara when she and Tara started Yoga Sanctuary decades ago and have continued since.
Member Mondays with Georgia Simon
How long have you been a member of Yoga Sanctuary? Since 2014, when I moved to the Valley to start grad school. I started with the intro offer and never looked back!
It's Time for Another Change
Dearest Yoga Sanctuary students, teachers, and staff, I’m writing to share exciting news. The time has come for me to transition into a different role in this community, and for us to welcome someone new to the joys and challenges of being the Studio Manager of Yoga Sanctuary.
