Yoga Instructor I was first introduced to meditation and yoga through the Center of Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota. I had been struggling with some mental health issues and learning these mindfulness practices was invaluable in my journey to well-being. I became more centered, compassionate, inquisitive, and felt more connected to everything around me. I was also better able to manage difficult emotions and experiences. As someone who has experienced a great sense of healing and self-exploration from yoga, it is important to me to share this practice with others. I received my 230hr yoga teaching certification from Yoga Sanctuary and my 500hr/Yoga Therapy Level 1 in Somatic Yoga from Yoga North. My passion is to help my students along on their path to physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. I weave breathing techniques, meditation, and movement into my classes, finding a balance between exertion and rest. I enjoy teaching tantra, hatha, and restorative classes and am certified in Yoga Nidra. I welcome everyBODY to my classes and make modifications for injuries. I look forward to meeting you! https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/preethi-stolpman daily 0.75 2023-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/edef98aa-792e-4dbf-8fbc-fbcc588a6c31/Preethi_Stolpman_Yoga_Instructor.jpg Preethi Stolpman - Yoga Instructor I was introduced to yoga at a very young age by my mother. She originally learned yoga in India, and was committed to an asana, pranayama, and meditation practice. I myself began practicing yoga as an adult in 1998 in Portland, Oregon and fell head over heels in love with it! Since then, I have had a very consistent, dedicated personal practice. I feel energized, a sense of focus and purpose, relaxation and peace, all at once when practicing. My long-held dream of becoming a yoga teacher came true when I completed my 230 hour teacher training in June 2021 with the Yoga Center Retreat. I am an attorney and practiced law for many years in Oregon, which I stopped in order to raise my three boys. I am also an interior stylist, with an academic background in residential planning. So, besides the world of yoga, interior design is a huge passion of mine! My family, consisting of my husband, three boys and mini golden doodle, mean everything to me. I love playing competitive singles and doubles tennis, cooking and trying new recipes with my husband, and spending quality time with my family and dear friends. I value my friends and people who are authentic, who can go deep, yet also have a quality of lightheartedness, a sense of humor. Other true loves of mine are: reading meaningful fiction, a great cup of coffee, an amazing glass of wine, the adventures of traveling, food made with simple, natural ingredients, and last but not least, fashion and dressing, which I have adored since I was a little girl! I desire to genuinely connect with my students, help them to develop an authentic love of yoga, as well as achieve a higher quality of life. “Yoga is a dance between control and surrender – between pushing and letting go – and when to push and to let go becomes part of the creative process, part of the open-ended exploration of your well-being.” -Joel Kramer https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/courtney-dingman daily 0.75 2025-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/33aa5646-3556-4d62-b6a4-dc7e01a8e4d6/BBP_2022_YogaSanctuary_0581.jpg Courtney Dingman - Yoga Instructor Yoga is a soft, quiet place for me to land in a world of rough edges that is constantly in motion. My practice helps me to feel my body, become aware of my mind and connect the two. It offers me a supportive space where I can breathe and get curious about what's going on inside and outside. I’m endlessly fascinated with yoga and its teachings and I’m equally curious about functional movement and the connection between body, mind and spirit. In 2019 I completed my 230-hour Holistic Teacher Training certification at Yoga Sanctuary and in 2024 I completed a 500-hour (Advanced) SomaYoga and Level 1 yoga therapy training from YogaNorth International SomaYoga Institute. My classes are an extension of my practice, a blend of classical yoga poses, functional movement postures, and SomaYoga; the framework of Ayurveda aligning with the seasons, energies and doshas; the study and reflection of yoga philosophy and poetry; and making space to breathe, be still and regulate the nervous system. My intention is to offer a grounding and supportive presence for your practice whether in class or during a client session. Off the mat you can find me on walks through the forest with my dog, sitting near water, digging in the dirt, spending time with my family and friends, or lost in a book. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/kate-lucas daily 0.75 2023-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/5ab1b9b2-6888-47ab-8b7b-547a852aca74/BBP_2022_YogaSanctuary_0328.jpg Kate Lucas - Yoga Instructor I have practiced yoga in different shapes and forms for nearly two decades, but coming to Yoga Sanctuary about eight years ago felt like home. In particular, its way of building community, and its encouragement of a holistic, energetic experience of yoga. The Calming Yoga class taught by Shelley, which I took regularly for several years, helped me unwind a long cycle of anxiety and depression, which is a lifelong practice I continue. With yoga, I have found a powerful tool for settling the mind. If my mind were a lake, my thoughts can so often be kicked up sand clouding the water. With yoga, more than any other practice, I have found the sand can swiftly drift to the bottom, leaving behind a calmness and clarity. When I first learned about the 230 hour Yoga Sanctuary Holistic Yoga Teacher Training, my heart leapt. I wasn’t sure yet how I’d find the time but knew it was calling me. After completing the training in May 2019, I was so honored to begin teaching at the studio, and in the very class, that has been so transformative for me. My classes are typically slower flow, mindful practices, striving for a balance between steadiness and ease, strength and flexibility, challenge and relaxation. I also strive to help students make the class their own, listening to their body and what it needs that very day, and coming home to themselves more fully. I hope to share Calming Yoga with you on Tuesday evenings, 8-9pm. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/marjorie-grevious daily 0.75 2022-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/1648255415550-OJ35HHPB774TPUWTKPH3/BBP_2022_Yoga_Sanctuary_Instructors_Marjorie_Grevious_1.jpg Marjorie Grevious - Yoga Instructor Marjorie has been practicing yoga for well over 40 years and earned her first yoga teaching credentials in 2012, after living and working as a volunteer at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, the largest yoga center in North America. Since then she has earned certifications in Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga and various forms of trauma informed yoga including training from the Black Yoga Teachers Alliance. She recently completed her 500 hour yoga teacher training with world renowned yoga teacher, Dianne Bondy focusing on equity and accessibility in the wellness field. Marjorie is a former social worker, youth worker and crisis worker with expertise in program development and implementation. After graduating seminary in 2018 she integrated her yoga teaching, social service experience, and spiritual education to help clients access the power, peace and healing at the core of their own being. She is the founder of Temple Within where she offers spiritual wellness consultation, yoga, and coaching services. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/christine-tran daily 0.75 2022-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/e7c2015d-d0ac-4c23-8a12-7d3730232865/BBP_2022_Yoga_Sanctuary_Instructors_Christine_2.jpg Christine Tran - Yoga Instructor At age 13, I started learning about yoga on my own through a wonderful book called Yoga for Beginners by Mark Ansari and Liz Lark. As a nerdy, uncoordinated kid, I started noticing that yoga helped me feel more confident and at home in my body. To learn more, I started attending vinyasa classes at Samadhi Yoga (RIP) in Seattle in 2003. The next year, I decided to skip high school and attended the Transition School/Early Entrance Program at the University of Washington instead, matriculating as a freshman in 2005. Those years were full of growth and exciting opportunities, but they were also full of doubt, fear, and uncertainty -- my yoga practice was an anchor that helped me feel grounded through it all. In 2011, I moved to Minnesota to attend Mayo Medical School and recently completed my Internal Medicine residency through the University of Minnesota in 2018. Yoga was a safe place for me to reconnect my mind with my body and heart (the latter two of which can fall to the wayside during medical training). As a yoga teacher, I strive to help students tune in to awareness in class -- that calm, still, peaceful space within each of us that is always present but sometimes gets lost in the noise of our everyday lives. I completed Yoga Sanctuary's Holistic Yoga Teacher Training in May 2019 and am excited to share my love of yoga with the world. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/chelsea-schmitz-gillam daily 0.75 2025-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/7cf4e687-2fd3-4f1f-94e9-2acd99db2889/Chels.jpg Chelsea Schmitz-Gillam - Yoga Instructor Hi there! My name is Chelsea Schmitz-Gillam and I've been offering youth yoga to the community for the last 11 years. 5 years ago I started Youth Yoga Collective because I care deeply about offering both young people and women a space where they can feel genuinely seen, heard, valued and connected as part of a larger community. The spark that's created when a group of people are sharing breath, stories and creative movement reminds me that there is incredible beauty in this world and being with community is a powerful way to tap into the magical flow of the universe. I feel humbled and grateful to have partnered with Yoga Sanctuary for over ten years to offer these classes. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/laura-reese daily 0.75 2025-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/c78ad368-ed92-487d-afd7-ec8df7680448/BBP_2022_Yoga_Sanctuary_Instructors_Laura_2.jpg Laura Reese - Yoga Instructor E-RYT500 Hello, friends! I’m Laura (she/they) and have been teaching in the beautiful Yoga Sanctuary community since 2020 after completing my 230-hour Holistic Yoga Teacher Training before finishing my 500-hour Advanced Teacher Training and Level 1 Yoga Therapy at Yoga North International SomaYoga Institute in 2024. I create holistic, trauma-informed yoga classes for all bodies by drawing on my unique background which includes a former career as a fitness professional, a bachelor’s degree in psychology, practicing craniosacral therapy, living with and healing from lifelong chronic illnesses, and an innate, unending curiosity about all things human - body, mind, spirit, and the interconnectedness of all beings. I am passionate about functional movement, conscious breathing, and holding loving space for all to explore coming home to the body through the transformational practices of yoga and somatics. I am completely filled with joy every time I get to share these practices, and I do so intentionally with an open invitation, gratitude, and unconditional love with all who are willing wherever they are on their paths. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/garrett-kling daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/b67f7aa5-1329-4562-8896-d948a664833e/17_AmyAnderson_0I5A0037_websize.jpg Garrett Kling - Yoga Instructor Hello Yoga Sanctuary Community!

Yoga Instructor Julia Andrighetti (she/her) is a curious mover by nature- whether that is in the form of travel or treks around the world, in nature, in dance form, in the gym, or on a yoga mat. She is an experienced yoga instructor trained in a wide array of yoga formats, somatics, and mobility, and creatively fuses her depth of knowledge and life experiences into classes that are playful and curious. Drawing on her expertise in how body-mind-breath interactions influence movement, Julia provides a vibrant space for students to explore embodiment and mindfulness, deepen their self-understanding, and enhance their practice. “Growing up I enjoyed meditative and mindfulness practices while I found joy in movement through my ballet training, it wasn’t until 2019 that I embraced asana and a regular yoga practice. In my past, I often felt disconnected from my own body. Through yoga, I've found home in my body and I desire to help guide others to this sense of empowerment and self-belonging. The classroom/studio has always been a cathartic space for me, a haven of guidance and collective energy—a mutual exchange of giving and receiving. As an instructor, my aim is to skillfully walk alongside you in your practice, creating space for your inner wisdom to expand, as you arrive at a greater sense of Self—body, breath, mind, being. I also teach Kids yoga here at Yoga Sanctuary! I’m inspired by the inherent wisdom of youth and believe that with the right support and guidance through yoga, young yogis are empowered to blossom and shine. My hope is to empower youth to be able to connect to themselves and the world around them as they learn to tune into their bodies, breath, and minds, exploring freedom, flow, and FUN!”

in compassion, equity, and accessibility, motivate us as we bring holistic weekly classes and community offerings that are welcoming, fun, and relational. We steward our finances through the lens of Karma Yoga, the yoga of action, which is practiced when we serve our fellow humans without expecting anything in return. That’s why we intentionally keep our class and workshop prices below market-prices offering some of the lowest rates in the Twin Cities. We provide further access through sliding scales, subsidized rates, work trades, scholarships, and partnerships with organizations who share our vision for holistic community wellness. We believe yoga can serve the greater good when it cares for the WHOLE SELF- body, mind, heart, and spirit. You can expect something for every BODY, and every AGE here at Yoga Sanctuary. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/our-story daily 0.75 2025-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/f1afa269-a269-48b5-ac62-eecbac74ac3a/IMG_6589.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/05be1c7d-d405-43cc-9504-d6c3eb7866b9/IMG_6790.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/39f2087b-feba-4a4c-a28e-84b53a79a1a7/IMG_6602.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/8c8e6dcb-ecd0-459f-960a-82e2ef37b512/IMG_6595.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/b4007502-c106-49cd-a020-508643b40e48/BBP_2022_YogaSanctuary_0349.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/1622ace1-3ca3-425e-913b-871e60d26ff1/409011097_787024450127337_8749129930620364968_n+%281%29.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/aa1eee2d-09aa-4ea5-a6d5-b9a29942166b/639699F9-BFB1-4958-B1E3-0996C4AC59CF_1_105_c.jpeg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/8b89a79c-093f-42b0-8d50-8b8329ef56d1/IMG_4691.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/40514235-56be-445f-a3e9-fd9e249685d7/429654306_787024416794007_8017038415897425677_n+%281%29.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/26a10109-681c-4170-ae18-209da7c9c214/92AED599-D0C4-4FCB-81D5-74BAC7A1B80D_1_105_c.jpeg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/c601bed9-b809-4278-a215-c2cd88c6a47c/original_b6a546ab-81d1-4764-9b7a-0d7828ea9419_PXL_20231006_213932654.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/40efa304-3ca8-4396-9ed9-f1414098ccf7/IMG_7414.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/c40dc437-5d62-4800-99ad-df7489850f8b/IMG_5789.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/e5e09467-3574-480d-9128-e959a0566991/IMG_5783+%281%29.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/1648255621558-G1IZCZRY3JHXHOHRJA0Q/BBP_2022_Yoga_Sanctuary_Instructors_Shelley_Pagitt.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/5e75e75a-5b0b-4a0c-a073-d5a375ecc48a/BBP_2022_Yoga_Sanctuary_Instructors_Tracy_Vacura_1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/7791d69e-1a75-4377-92fa-144c2892558c/10_AmyAnderson_896A0216.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/d3f3a680-4009-40ec-b54d-5443b0297dc8/56_AmyAnderson_896A8026_websize.jpg https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/dina-lee-ramirez daily 0.75 2024-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/c831167f-f720-4583-93fc-f8401718cc24/IMG_0276.jpg Dina Lee-Ramirez - Yoga Instructor My journey with yoga began when I was sixteen, attending classes with my mom at a local yoga studio that offered a sliding scale option. This early experience ignited a passion for yoga that has only grown over the years. I intuitively felt there was more to yoga than just the physical practice, and I have since been dedicated to exploring its profound, life-changing capabilities. Yoga has been a cornerstone in my personal journey, especially in managing my generalized anxiety. Through consistent practice, I have found a path towards greater peace and well-being. This transformative experience inspired me to deepen my knowledge and share the benefits of yoga with others. I am a recent 2024 graduate of the HYTT program at Yoga Sanctuary. As a new instructor, my goal is to create a safe and inclusive space for all bodies, recognizing and honoring the diverse needs of each student. I am also bilingual in Spanish and am excited to offer classes in both English and Spanish, making yoga more accessible to the Spanish-speaking community. I am thrilled to be part of Yoga Sanctuary, a place that embodies the spirit of inclusivity and accessibility in yoga. Yoga is for everyone, and I look forward to sharing this beautiful practice with you in class. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/donate daily 0.75 2024-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225259531-0HK0SKZ3FR5VOEIG39FB/Rectangle+26.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225322403-8M32U1NK41JYCCJQCWP7/Rectangle+25.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225298850-6RK21Y7YG7VPMPS9NQT9/Rectangle+27.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225322403-8M32U1NK41JYCCJQCWP7/Rectangle+25.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225298850-6RK21Y7YG7VPMPS9NQT9/Rectangle+27.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225259531-0HK0SKZ3FR5VOEIG39FB/Rectangle+26.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/cf633f8c-013c-4829-ab13-2fb132efcc59/IMG_0926.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/12a6fa0f-0f4b-491d-ba5b-ee981975748e/57C8D3A3-9B7D-4687-83CD-68AFEA789A0E_1_105_c.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/95f4adde-0477-4bdc-8ad4-cb2cff8d9261/ys2022_34.JPG https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/jae-alderson daily 0.75 2024-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/e6984ca6-d0c4-429e-8b28-263610fa6ebc/jae+alderson Jae Alderson - Yoga Instructor Hello, I'm Jae - a yoga guide, a retired collegiate athlete looking for my place in the world, and your personal cheerleader. After parting ways with college sports and graduating in 2020, life was a blur for me and the world. However, as I slowly gained awareness of the path in front of me, I realized that life was not about continually fixating on figuring out who my "future self needed to be” but about making my present self the best she can be in this moment - for myself and the people around me. My refreshed outlook on life led me to Yoga Sanctuary, where I began a self-reflection journey, combining my true passions for coaching, holistic movement, community, and self-improvement all into one activity - yoga. Yoga transcends the physical. It is a catalyst for a community of individuals to unite, align their minds, bodies, and universal beliefs, and awaken their true, authentic selves. I believe this profound transformation is not just a lofty goal for a simple activity like yoga but a reality that I hope to share with others. Through my Holistic Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga Sanctuary, I have learned that yoga is more than just physical movements - it's a lifestyle. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/online-store daily 0.75 2024-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/2d6198ee-68d8-45ea-9e49-5214eaf75390/Jade+Yoga+Mats https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/048e87a8-c153-4638-97f6-4f9cab8b4a43/Yoga+Apparel+%22Choose+Love%22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/a8067d13-efbb-4831-abbf-2d67a8435604/Restorative+Yoga+Bolster https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/alexis-ray daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/cb8a37ea-c8cb-4ee8-9a35-4dc8f5ba39d0/31_AmyAnderson_0I5A0079_websize.jpg Alexis Ray - Yoga Instructor Hello! My name is Alexis Ray (she/her/hers) and it’s an honor to meet you! I completed Yoga Sanctuary’s 230 hour Holistic Yoga Teacher Training in May 2023 and am a registered yoga instructor through Yoga Alliance. I started my yoga journey over a decade ago, during a "Yoga Thought and Practice" course at my university. The scope of learning about the religious and historical background of yoga as well as incorporating a movement practice with personal reflection was my first glimpse at the deeper side of yoga beyond just a workout. I became enthralled with the literature which coincided with my interest in psychology of the mind and body. This was also around the same time that I had begun more deeply probing and grappling with the crossroads of my identity and finding a place to plug in and blossom. While I had many starts and stops over the years with my personal yoga asana practice, the deeper emotional journey was always present. I was living life with yoga principles off the mat even on the days I didn't practice. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/quint-lester daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/e7bae3d3-b54c-471b-bf41-5f73e3f133a6/88_AmyAnderson_0I5A0351_websize.jpg Quint Lester - Yoga Instructor Greetings! My name is Quintarias, but I am known by most as Q! My introduction to yoga came as a dental student. It served as a good weekly release from the difficult positions dentistry put me in. After a motorcycle accident left me unable to continue with the boxing and weightlifting that I loved, yoga became powerful tool for healing and strengthening. What cemented my interest with yoga was the personal challenge it presented—each sequence offered an opportunity to compete against myself and track my progress. This journey of growth became a passion. As a yoga instructor, my mission is to create a safe and supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable, yet empowered to push their own boundaries. I believe that yoga is not just about movement, but about storytelling and self-discovery. My classes are designed to be both challenging and fun, allowing each student to connect with their body and mind in a meaningful way. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/alex-modic daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/afe9e89c-60f1-445a-943a-31b9429b5e0d/47_AmyAnderson_0I5A0157_websize.jpg Alex Modic - Yoga Instructor I’m Alex Modic (he/him) I was introduced to yoga by my father when I was eight years old. I can clearly remember him doing bizarre stretches in the living room to a VHS tape with yogis in ’80s workout gear of bright neon green. Ten years later he gave me my first yoga book and encouraged me to practice as a supplement to my running. What started as an extension of my other workout routines became a fundamental base for my physical well-being, mental focus, and emotional stability. I have always felt slightly out of place in the yoga world as both a cis man and a person with no spirituality. This has often made yoga feel inaccessible and untranslatable. However, I have found a beautiful and accommodating community in Minneapolis over the past few years. I have also found a calling to bring both men and nonspiritual people into yoga. In the spring of 2024, I finished my 230-hour Holistic Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga Sanctuary and have started teaching classes in Minneapolis. My training has given me the tools to decipher, translate, and understand the metaphysical parts of yoga. This has allowed me to gain the benefits of yoga philosophy without being spiritual. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/shelley-pagitt daily 0.75 2024-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/d35321ae-e1be-4428-bb61-89386fbc9095/BBP_2022_YogaSanctuary_0592.jpg Shelley Pagitt - Yoga Instructor Founder & Curator, Instructor, Teacher Trainer I cautiously walked into my first yoga class in 1999. I walked out with a sense of curiosity about the awakening I felt in my body and in my mind and spirit. While struggling with endometriosis and infertility, yoga became a compatible partner on my road toward holistic health. I am grateful for my challenges and count them among my greatest teachers. Curiosity, and a deep desire for holistic wellness, inspire me to teach intentional yoga with space to explore deeper physical (asana), breath (pranayama) and mindfulness practices as we journey personally and collectively toward self-awareness and re-membering our wholeness. I have been teaching yoga since 2007, and received my training at White Lotus Foundation (Santa Barbara) in 2011 prior to opening Yoga Sanctuary in 2012. I completed an Intensive 9-month Tantra Yoga Studies program with Ben Vincent in May 2017 and recently completed 300hr Yoga Psychology with Ashley Turner. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/tracy-vacura daily 0.75 2024-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/bab45991-dd07-4e7f-b1ca-949681e099a2/BBP_2022_YogaSanctuary_0609.jpg Tracy Vacura - Yoga Instructor Instructor, Teacher Trainer, Studio Manager I believe yoga is a time for deep connectedness—body, mind, spirt, and universe all in one. I spent decades teaching dance, which means that I love fully-embodied movement and also feel passionate about understanding anatomy and alignment. I enjoy working with people to center, find what is truly important, and then magnify their own unique gifts in the world. Currently, I am a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner through Healing Beyond Borders, and awareness of the energetic body informs my teaching greatly. I earned my 500 RYT at Devanadi, so my teaching style is influenced by Tanya Bogenzhein’s unique blending of ancient yogic wisdom, energy healing and Ayurvedic therapy. In 2017, I completed a 9 month program of intensive Yoga Studies with Ben Vincent and continue to seek out his calm wisdom. I also undertook an amazing week-long anatomy intensive with Judith Lasater in 2019. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/nei-huynh daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/93baee16-9e39-4cf3-8956-9634f67a9705/93_AmyAnderson_0I5A0429_websize.jpg Nei Huynh - Yoga Instructor Driven by an insatiable curiosity and desire to explore, Nei set out to travel the world, including an extended stay in India in 2019 and 2024, where she obtained her 500 hours of teacher training in Hatha and Ashtanga yoga. She has navigated various yoga teaching opportunities in many corners of the world since. Nei's approach to teaching has always been about bringing practitioners with all physical levels and backgrounds to be in harmony with their own nature and grace. By placing equal importance on the physical and spiritual aspects of asanas, practitioners benefit from traditional yoga practice. As a yogi who practices raja yoga and follows the Dharma teaching, she structures her classes with a holistic and beginner mindset. Using asanas as a foundation allows practitioners to sync in with their breath and deepen the other limbs of yoga. The beginner mindset helps practitioners let go of their egos and stay present intimately in each practice. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/joi-latson daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/2da7b8c5-2bec-4eb6-8b15-ff95241170d8/68_AmyAnderson_0I5A0304_websize.jpg Joi Latson - Yoga Instructor Hello! My name is Joi Latson (she/her), and I am so excited to step into the role of leading youth yoga with Yoga Sanctuary this spring. My passion for yoga is deeply intertwined with my love for the natural world and the understanding that everything is connected—from the grass beneath our feet to the flowing waters of the Great Lakes, to the family of squirrels nestled in the tree at the local park. Yoga, for me, is more than movement; it’s a practice of presence, awareness, and connection—to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us. Through breath, movement, and mindfulness, I hope to help young people cultivate a sense of belonging and harmony within themselves and their environment. I’m grateful for the opportunity to guide and grow alongside them on this journey. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/200-hour-yoga-training daily 0.75 2026-04-01

is excited to join the Yoga Sanctuary team! Henry’s practice includes somatics through yoga and alexander technique, undoing patriarchy and white supremacy, roots of physical theatre and comedy, and community organizing. Wearing many hats - he is a community member of the Powderhorn neighborhood of Minneapolis, a Yoga Teacher at Carpe Diem in St. Anthony, an Alexander Technique student through Soma Studios Minnesota, a co-facilitator with White Men for Racial Justice, a collaborator with the Improv Movement Project, and works full time in Business Development for a company called Urban3. Originally from the Seattle Area, Henry spent 4 years running around in the Chicago physical theater and improv scene and previously worked at the Center for Economic Inclusion in St. Paul, where he supported the racial equity consulting team with clients all around the Twin Cities and beyond. As a student of yoga, alexander technique, anti-racist facilitation, and clown, Henry brings to his classes humility, softness, humor, and an offering to unravel what we have wound up within ourselves. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/eleni-sophocleus daily 0.75 2025-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/27ddf083-f645-4815-afa8-9ebc8ee4a651/DSC_8185+%281%29.jpg Eleni Sophlocleus - Yoga Instructor Hello, my name is Eleni (she/her) though I also go by Leni. My first experience doing yoga in community was back in 2013. I was 15 years old, had just gone through my first breakup, and was feeling devastated when my older sister asked if I wanted to join her for a class. By the time I was lying in savasana, I had experienced the qualities of yoga that, at the time, I could only describe as magic. It sparked a continuous practice that stayed with me through the remainder of high school, away to college, and on my studies abroad. In the years since, my relationship with my body has drastically changed, as I have become disabled due to the escalation of intersecting chronic illnesses. The process of surrendering to my health has required me to renegotiate every aspect of my life and re-introduce myself to movement, boundaries, pacing, and self-image through an unfamiliar lens. Yoga has been the medicine of accessible movement throughout this transition. Last spring, I decided I wanted to deepen my practice and knowledge through Yoga Sanctuary’s Holistic Yoga Teacher Training program. This program has instilled a deep desire to teach yoga that is kind, accessible, and inviting. I aim to teach from the wisdom of my own lived experience, creating a safer container for folks to come back home to their bodies. My approach to teaching includes invitational language, modifications, and pranayama with the intention of increasing interoception and proprioception. Beyond the mat, I am an artist and graphic designer based in Kingfield, Minneapolis. I deeply value community, curiosity, and creating all that I can while continuously striving to maintain balance. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/lindsey-turner daily 0.75 2025-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/fd772d4a-9e2c-47c4-877d-3ed8e9594b9b/PXL_20250507_225359376.PORTRAIT.jpg Lindsey Turner - Yoga Instructor Greetings, beautiful souls! I’m Lindsey - a curious, passionate, loving, creative, playful, compassionate, perfectly imperfect human. A forever student of life, of the world, and of the practice of yoga - with a beginner’s mindset as I work to be more present every day. I often feel like a cat who’s lived (more than) nine lives, filled with awe and gratitude for each of the lessons and blessings associated with them all. I'm a ride or die friend, daughter, auntie, sister & dog mama, who thrives in nature & warmer weather + being on or near any sparkling body of water, feeding my Pisces soul. After spending my entire adult life in the sunshine state of California, navigating a busy-busy marketing career in the complex land of Hollywood, I was recently called home to Mpls to become my mothers caregiver. A blessing and a challenge no doubt. I’m currently on a unique path of leaning into the unknown, of tapping back into roots, and of learning to let go… of attachments, of putting pressure on myself to “achieve” in order to be worthy. We are all worthy right now - JUST AS WE ARE. I'm a recovering perfectionist and overthinker, and an absolute believer in the power of yoga to get us out of our heads and into our hearts, breath & bodies. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/merissa-russie daily 0.75 2025-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/c82b687f-4339-4155-8737-cdb27773636e/PXL_20250507_225121627.PORTRAIT.jpg Merissa Russie - Yoga Instructor Hi! I'm Merissa—most people call me Em. Yoga didn’t always feel like home to me. Growing up, I felt disconnected from my body and believed I didn’t belong in active or spiritual spaces. That began to shift in 2014, when I discovered yoga. Its gentle, grounding nature helped me feel safe in my body for the first time. From there, yoga became a steady companion, helping me rebuild trust in myself and offering a calmer, more connected way of being. My practice is deeply influenced by the natural world. I see yoga as more than movement—it’s a living, breathing practice rooted in nature, beauty, and embodied wisdom. It shows up not just on the mat, but in everyday life: on the hiking trail, at work, and in quiet, mundane moments. Because of the unique body I live in, I believe deeply that yoga is for everyone. I completed my 230-hour teacher training in spring 2025 and am a certified Accessible Yoga Teacher. I strive to create inclusive, joyful spaces where all bodies can experience grounding and connection. I’m especially passionate about making yoga accessible, adaptive yoga, and practicing outdoors, where we can reconnect with nature and ourselves. https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/300-hour-yoga-training/faqs daily 0.75 2025-10-21 https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/300-hour-yoga-training/trainers daily 0.75 2025-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/1648255471974-XT0JEPK865I7RNDYUFN3/BBP_2022_Yoga_Sanctuary_Instructors_Tracy_Vacura_1.jpg HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/1648255213185-4563E4IIGZ3A6DMGR04U/BBP_2022_Yoga_Sanctuary_Instructors_Laura_Reese_1.jpg HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/1648158676142-BQWJ4UMG0CI0WKN9W4KL/BBP_2022_Yoga_Sanctuary_Instructor_Courtney_Dingman_1.jpg HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/1648255146684-66TAVNKOMG8WROHF2YJN/BBP_2022_Yoga_Sanctuary_Instructors_Krista_Lidgren_2.jpg HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/77a12fa2-d318-4f7c-b7d3-2bf0f1d2db2c/10_AmyAnderson_896A0216.jpg HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/1648255657858-EZWVV1T8NR28OCY8UCET/BBP_2022_Yoga_Sanctuary_Instructors_Shelley_Pagitt.jpg HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/1648255415550-OJ35HHPB774TPUWTKPH3/BBP_2022_Yoga_Sanctuary_Instructors_Marjorie_Grevious_1.jpg HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/ce0e96d2-1f0a-4a74-9500-4b37be454ccf/Dr.-Vanashree-1.png HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/0f90340b-eb45-42be-a577-db2aebc31b1f/IMG_1202.png HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/0e240516-02e5-404d-ab5b-e6e0f2fe026a/IMG_1179.png HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/fe7837a5-e9f1-4dd2-b632-83af7c65b4fc/BBP_2022_YogaSanctuary_0547.jpg HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/a22e6d54-7b6e-4c79-8681-815b4d275dee/IMG_1184+%281%29.png HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/b98100a3-04e6-431c-87ae-937cdd059b11/BBP_2022_YogaSanctuary_0459.jpg HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/56ec555a-49c6-4ff3-b0e4-988494470d97/IMG_1205+%281%29+%281%29.png HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/7717e71a-996f-4b56-b065-5faad77d1a04/BBP_2022_YogaSanctuary_0609.jpg HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/776a707a-1c0c-4265-ade3-3eb01d5d0154/BBP_2022_YogaSanctuary_0592.jpg HYTT300 Trainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/f59bdbae-7ee5-47c7-a51f-c53796e2a04d/BBP_2022_YogaSanctuary_0127.jpg HYTT300 Trainers https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/vanashree-belgamwar daily 0.75 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/ce0e96d2-1f0a-4a74-9500-4b37be454ccf/Dr.-Vanashree-1.png Vanashree Belgamwar - Yoga Trainer Vanashree Belgamwar is a distinguished graduate, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery from the prestigious Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik, India. Her expertise extends to Nadi Pariksha, the ancient art of Ayurvedic pulse assessment. Notably, she is also a certified meditation and hatha yoga teacher. Growing up in a lineage of Ayurvedic physicians and medical professionals, Vanashree was immersed in the world of herbs and spices from an early age. Her profound connection with Ayurveda blossomed during a challenging episode of Hepatitis A at the tender age of 7. Facing relentless discomfort, Ayurveda emerged as her savior, swiftly restoring her to balance when conventional treatments fell short. This transformative personal experience fueled her passion to become an Ayurvedic practitioner. Since 2013, Vanashree has been practicing Ayurveda in Minnesota with a mission to globalize this ancient holistic science. She envisions bringing the benefits of Ayurveda to people worldwide, emphasizing its potential as an integrative therapy for achieving and maintaining good health. Vanashree's commitment goes beyond consultation; she takes pride in deeply connecting with her clients, guiding them through the intricacies of their health journeys to attain their optimal well-being. In her pursuit to create awareness about Ayurveda, Vanashree conducts various workshops on different Ayurvedic topics. These workshops serve as a platform to enlighten people about the transformative power of Ayurveda, offering a path to regain balance in their lives. While Ayurveda remains her primary passion, Vanashree also boasts training in Bollywood dancing and finds joy in engaging in creative pursuits that involve colors and art. Her multifaceted interests reflect her vibrant approach to life and holistic well-being. https://vanashreeayurveda.com/ https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/instructors/elondria-byndom daily 0.75 2026-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6221293841ec3a06ecd3ee9c/ae7280b9-f015-445e-9d7a-a6c623d81419/unnamed+%2833%29.jpg Elondria Byndom - Yoga Instructor I discovered yoga over 20 years ago by chance. I was a member at a local gym and yoga classes were being offered after the twice weekly step aerobics class. One day I decided to stay after and check it out. I loved the contrast between the two classes and appreciated the introspection it encouraged. I continued taking classes two days a week until the gym closed. From that point, I began to develop my home practice by using books and videos. I also attended classes at local studios. I found balance and clarity that I was able to carry off the mat. I still continue to grow and learn in my yoga practice. I completed my 200 hour YTT at the Yoga Center Retreat in October 2023. My goal initially was to deepen my personal practice but then I felt the pull to teach and bring yoga to a much wider audience.
