I've been going to this studio (& its sister on Eastern) on and off for 4 years. I love them both. Pro: plenty of class options (from beginner to advanced) and styles (such as ashtanga, hatha flow, kundalini, and restorative). Con: it has an LA studio feel - but (pro) most of the instructors balance that by reinserting some of the more more ethereal bits of yoga (like beginning with a meditation and ending with a group "om"). My favorite for that is Willow. I've been proud to take several friends and my sister with me. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I went to help relax and alleviate the chronic tension and pain in my neck, shoulders and back. But it ended up causing me more pain. I brought an extra-thick mat, but the floors were really hard and hurt my back for days afterwards. I don't want to list all the negatives, but the one thing I really didn't like was that one of the instructors in a stress relief class massaged my face (she did this to everyone) and then pushed down on my back during child's pose without asking me. I have back problems, so this really hurt. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think instructors should be touching or exerting pressure on students without first asking them, especially if they have injuries or chronic conditions. read more

I enjoy this yoga studio as everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. My favorite class is Candlelight on Monday nights with Christine. (She is definitely my favorite instructor!) I have a monthly membership that costs $99 for unlimited classes at both studios, which I find extremely reasonable. read more

I've been to most every yoga studio in Las Vegas, and this is BY FAR the overall best experience. Pros: -NOT hot yoga -Clean, zen-like studios -Highly professional teachers, all with lovely vibes and unique personal styles -Variety of yoga practices (vinyasa/flow, power, yin/restorative, basics, Ashtanga, workshops, etc) -Friendly, non-competitive atmosphere -Great pricing values, especially in packages -Central location (Sahara/Buffalo) -Made in USA yoga clothing for sale Opportunities for Improvement: -Space is clean and zen, but would be nice to have more natural light in the studios and better bathroom facilities (such as more sinks, more toilets, add showers) -Would like to see more class options within 1pm-5:30pm timeframe on weekdays -Would like to see more Saturday afternoon classes -Would like to see addition of mat Pilates and/or PiYo classes -Booking and sign-in process is very analog. Add a self-service electronic sign-in (like beeping in with a fob) rather than standing in line just to tell the person at the desk that you have arrived -Allow for booking classes online through MindBody -It can get very congested in the waiting area before evening classes read more

Yoga Sanctuary is as good as it gets! Before becoming a member of YS I had tried about 12 different studios looking for some place where I could learn and then practice without feeling self conscious as well as a list of other expectations. Since I was entirely new to the practice I just knew I'd know what I wanted when it happened. It wasn't happening elsewhere but it did my first class. This is not an exercise studio, this is a yoga studio and the instructors teach a mind/body/spirit connection not just a pose. This connection is what I felt at my first class and at every class since then. I've been a member since 2012 and wouldn't go anywhere else read more

I happened to be in town for the weekend and was searching for a yoga class near where I was staying. Dropped in for a Sunday Stress Relief with Meditation with Lucrezia. The studio is in a great area with plenty of parking in a lot. The girl who checked me in was friendly and took the time to explain where the restrooms were, where the props and blankets were etc. They offer specials and discounts for local residents which I think is the right thing to do. Drop in is $20 which is definitely on the high end even for someone coming from the SF Bay area and mat rental is $2. I don't mind renting a mat if they are clean and in good condition. They had several styles and thicknesses some in better condition than others. Plenty of blankets, bolsters, straps and blocks in the large room with high-ceilings, great adjustable lighting and a nice sound system. Now on to the class-this class was a great combination of a gentle flow with meditation. It was nice to gradually build up some nice heat with plenty of encouragement. There was a mix of experienced students, drop-ins and first-timers. Newer students were offered the option of modifications or skipping poses with absolutely no judgement from the instructor which is a welcome change from those who seem inpatient with people who are learning. The guided meditation was low key using imagery and served as a cool down and an extended savasana. I will be back next time I am in the area. Really surprised by all the negative reviews on cost, business practices even having a gift shop?? Everything is clearly explained on the website so I am not sure what people are expecting? read more

I love Sherry. She has great energy as do the people that practice here. She makes yoga fun and approachable.

I am a loyal drop in to Celine's Monday night Yin class!!!! I can't even explain how wonderful it is you just have to experience it for yourself!!!!! read more

This is my favorite place to practice yoga. All the teacher are amazing and they know there stuff. It's a true yoga studio offering many types of yoga and different times. Most classes are an hour and a half. They have lots of guest instructors who are celebrity yogis. They also offer live music and have classes for all levels. I found that most of the yoga studios in town have jumped on hot yoga band wagon not this place they offer a calming and relaxing place to practice. Every once in awhile you can find a Groupon if you love yoga jump on this opportunity. They have a special rate to if you join with a friend. Does anyone want to be a Yoga Buddy? Other wise you can pay per class, by month, or get a class package. read more

Finally made the sojourn over to this westside yoga sanctuary. Clean, friendly and loving Susan G's kundalini yoga classes on wed & sun.

Excellent workshops and yoga teachers that they bring in each weekend. Kim's Sunday class at 10AM is my favorite.

Yoga Sanctuary is the best place to practice yoga in Las Vegas. I have been a regular for over 9 years and am always learning something new. All of the instructors have been trained, certified and know the body very well. The teachers I have had will walk around the class, watching how you're doing a pose and will offer suggestions on where to place your legs or arms in order to put you in the safest pose your body needs and can tolerate. They will show you how to use the props (blankets, blocks, bolsters, straps) so that you may feel the most from the pose. They constantly stress that each of our bodies are different and we should not try to force our bodies into something that could hurt us. The instructors provide a very loving, caring attitude and will also show you alternative ways to do a pose and get the same result. The studio has two rooms -- one larger than the other but separated by a wall that can be opened to make one large room. They also bring in well known instructors from other stats that provide classes, lectures and music. There is always an event occurring. The studio is designed beautifully creating a calming atmosphere with a lobby offering clothing, mats, accessories, books and music. The administrative staff is also very knowledgeable about each class and will answer any question to help you decide which would be the one for you. Yoga Sanctuary offers packages for every price range along with individual class prices and reduced pricing for students. Las Vegas now has many yoga studios in town, but you will not find a better place for your practice than Yoga Sanctuary. read more

There are some great teachers here who are very passionate and skilled However, I'd inquire with the studio to get your questions answered.

A nice place to experience yoga for all levels. I especially like the two of the instructors Eliza and Mora, who teach the 90 minutes Vinyasa Flow classes. They are supportive, funny, very knowledgeable and make the classes a pleasure to be in. read more

As a yoga instructor myself, this is my go-to studio for when I want to get out of my home practice. The teachers here are top-notch! They offer an excellent variety of authentic classes as well as workshops. Someday I hope to make their Red Rock hike as well. read more

Love love love this place and the instructors. I gave it 4 out of 5 for 2 personal reasons 1- I wish they had a more flexible non expiring membership for people that travel often and 2- I wish they would add more yin yoga classes - perhaps! Overall its a great place and I love that the classes are not crowded! read more

This studio is great because it is clean and there are many class times and types offered. There are no showers but the classes aren't (as far as I can tell) heated yoga so you're not dripping afterwards. (For most of the classes I've been to anyway) The instructors are some of the best in the city! If you have the chance, attend one of Rachel Sellars' classes or Sasha Larkin's workshops. These are my favorites, however I don't remember ever being disappointed. read more

Hands down the best studio in town. The teachers are amazing and the atmosphere is so relaxing!

I enjoyed the classes so I bought a package. When I couldn't complete the classes I purchased in the allotted time, I explained my hardship but they didn't care and I forfeited the money I spent on the package. I never went back. read more

Yoga Sanctuary is a fantastic studio. The staff is wonderful, teachers are the best that I have found in Las Vegas. I recommend to anyone who asks. read more

As a Vegas transplant from the yoga mecca of the US, otherwise known as Los Angeles, I will start by saying that I am somewhat discerning, and possibly even spoiled, when it comes to my taste in yoga teachers. In LA, you can take a walk down to your neighborhood studio and it's likely that the teacher was featured in that months issue of The Yoga Journal. One can imagine my hesitation when I walked into a studio in Las Vegas. Yoga in Vegas? Well, little did I know what a little yogic gem Las Vegas had to offer us with Yoga Sanctuary. Now, in ten years of practice Ive taken class from some good instructors, and others who would have been better at anything but teaching yoga. The level of skill and expertise delivered by their teachers is undoubtedlly five stars! The quality of instruction equates to instruction given by some of the "best" teachers in the US. Eric's 2/3 class on Saturday rocks! Willows All Levels Flow is a great workout. I brought a new to yoga friend to Heathers Intro class and it was great for someone brand new to yoga, and fun and relaxing for myself. I have yet to take from any other teacher at YS, but based upon the quality I've seen so far, I'm sure that their classes will be the best that Vegas has to offer. 4 out of 5 stars instead of five simply because, as noted in the comments below, their business practices mess with my Zen. And yes, if you get a Groupon then READ the fine print and restrictions. Again READ. Then go ahead and enjoy class. It's worth every penny and more. read more

I recently attended Bryan Kest's workshop (10th Jan) and was a little disappointed that it was exactly the same workshop that I attended last year, word for word. I still really enjoyed his power yoga, but would of loved to of heard another point of view from him. And both times I have been to his workshop, they have ran over by 20 mins. I would assume that it would be better marketing the workshop as 3hr and 30 mins. I live over 30 mins away from the studio and have had to hire a babysitter to attend. It is an extra cost to factor. read more

I have had no success in finding a practice here, in Vegas, that suited me. Hot and Bikram don't resonate with me and I was searching for a teacher with the spirit and assertion of one I practiced with and respected from back home, in California. Celine Go is a godsend in that finding her instruction has been the end to my search. She is very direct and descriptive of the poses she teaches. I don't need to look around or open my eyes. She reminds you to "Listen", which I believe is the key to my practice. Listen to Celine's voice, listen to your body, listen to your breath. I was challenged, both physically and mentally. She worked my body and provided adjustments. Her class was divine and I am very much looking forward to her next one. I will be signing up for a membership just to go to her classes. read more

After almost 11 months of pregnancy and recovery I came for restorative yoga with Lauren Friday 630 PM class. It was so healing and soothing my aching body and let go stressed. I feel so released and renew . I hope they still have this class next year because I need a lot of restorative yoga. Bless teacher like Lauren. Hope for many more yoga classes to come. Thank you. read more

Love this yoga studio. I would highly recommend yoga classes here. They also have meditation classes and massage available. There are many diverse types of yoga classes taught by a wide variety of instructors. I have enjoyed every class. The studio is beautiful, large, open and clean. It has a peaceful atmosphere. The instructors and front desk staff are welcoming. This is a great place to practice yoga. read more

I love this place! The classes are amazing. Amanda and Robin are awesome. Love the Yoga Buddies program!

I'm visiting family from out of town, and thought I'd give this place a chance (despite the many other options for studios and the cash only /high card charges situation). Despite my hesitation, I convinced my mom to come with me, and we arrived at the studio 15 minutes early for the 7:30 am Yoga and Beyond class. We walk in only to be told that the desk workers don't arrive until 8, and the woman who WAS working was somehow unable to sign us up and we'd just have to come back later. Ridiculous treatment; will never go again. Based on this absurd inability to let paying customers attend class and the horrible website (was barely able to figure out if class was even held), this studio obviously needs some major updates. read more

Firstly, let me say that the person at the front desk was great and my experience with the customer service is not reflective in the rating. The Yoga class was very well taught and the teacher was extremely professional, she did an excellent job teaching the format she taught. My only conflict with the class was that the schedule was for a Vinyasa Flow class which is what I was going for and there was very little flow, much more of a hold and describe then a flow class, but again I want to emphasis that the teacher did a solid job if that is the style of class you enjoy. The studio was clean and comfortable. Here is why the rating is so low, the cost...The cost of a single class was $20.00 because I'm not local if i was local it would have been $17.00 which is still on the expensive side but I understanding the business of trying to get students to commit to more classes. I'm just struggling with how the community of yoga saying because you don't live close by you have to pay $3.00 extra. It does not embrace the essence of yoga that I believe in and that is the reason behind the low rating. I didn't find a sanctuary at all be very clearly the business of yoga in full force . On another note the bathrooms are small and no place to change so don't plan on getting ready after class to go out from there. read more

I was able to catch a live music candlelight class a few months ago at the west location. I felt the $22 fee was high, but not exorbitant given they were also paying a musician. I had been informed by many that the class leader was one of their more popular. The studio was extremely warm and just a bit uncomfortable. The class was large. The instructor was very nice, but there did not seem to be any direction to the program. As a certified yoga instructor I was taught how to design and pace a class. There was none of this. Seemingly random asanas linked together with not the smoothest of transitions. In a previous review I read about the overpriced merchandise and I have no problem with that as it can easily be ignored. Mat rental? I have never heard of this before though the response from YS was that it is not unique. It is gouging nonetheless. I teach at a facility which provides mats, straps, blocks and bolsters at no additional fee. To charge would be like asking someone to bring their own weights to Gold's Gym. My suggestion to Sherry would be to get back in touch with the local yoga "teaching" community. Experience what is going on. Compare and contrast with your competition. To charge those kinds of fees for nothing special is a poor decision at the very least. read more

The absolute best yoga teachers in town. I have been taking classes for over a year and have enjoyed all the different levels of yoga this studio offers. If you are thinking about yoga this is the studio for you. I go right after work by myself and everyone is so friendly they make you feel like part of a family. This yoga studio changed my life!! read more

The studio was fine and all, but the customer service is extremely lacking. I was from out of town, first time visitor, and asked for the 10% discount I saw posted on their site. The desk clerk said the 10% discount is only on packages; I then asked for the free mat rental. She said NO. Since I was set on taking a yoga class, I proceeded ahead. When I called and talked to Morgan, the manager, to express my opinion, she parroted her desk clerk and said it's their policy. Like always these days, make sure you read the fine print. Me thinks I'll visit another studio when in sin city. read more

I went here with my wife just to try out a new place. We checked the schedule and saw that classes were $12 to drop in. We went and did the candle light session on sept 24 in the evening. We paid the $24 for the class and enjoyed it. When we walked out of the session the girl at the front came right up to us and said that she was new and made a mistake. She told us that we needed to pay another $10. We told her that the web site said it was only $12 per class. She said it was wrong and that we absolutely had to pay another $10. She was rude and i would never recommend this place to a friend. We did not want to argue or ruin the mood anymore so we just paid the extra $10 and left. We just couldn't believe how rude the front girl was and felt taken advantage of. read more

OkK here we go. A girls week end in Vegas. yoga is definitley on the menu. No matter where i go, yoga goes with me. My traveling buddy had been here before. OK, i trust her yogini judgement. After a 30 dollar cab ride from The Strip..we arrive. I could smell the incense before opening the door. Seemed funny after leaving the Casino noise, smoke and cha-ching to walk into a Sanctuary! But as we did a friendly staff greeted us. After looking at all the yoga stuff for sale , picking things up, reading a snipit out of a book here and there I was ready to rock n roll with some Ashtanga yoga flow. The insturctor Eric was fantastic. If you are good, you are good and there are lots of good instructors around these days.Eric is excellent. Nice flow class on a rented mat. I missed my personal green mat, but It would not fit in my carry-on. I did not want to have my mat searched at the airport(so not yoga:)! After class we could not get a Cab to come pick us up. Out of necessity i asked a woman in the parking lot who had taken the yoga class if she was headed towards The Strip.,she was and was nice enough and trusting enough to give us a lift. How Yoga is that!! We made friends fast in her car and really enjoyed her stories about living and working as a show girl in Vegas. Never hurts to ask..the show must go on...great place to try if you are in vegas and going thru yoga withdrawals. read more

I love yoga sanctuary, especially because it is not a hot yoga studio. I sweat plenty and don't need the extra heat. Not sure why everyone is so enamored of hot yoga but at Yoga Sanctuary, it is exactly what it's name says - a sanctuary where the total focus is on yoga. There is a wide variety of classes for people at all levels of practice which I really appreciate, and the atmosphere is calm, meditative and spiritual. I have tried other yoga studios but this is by far my favorite. read more

this is my second go round with SGYS and I had high hopes that the customer service at the front desk had changed since I last visited. Yes there was a new girl at the desk but unfortunately the attitude i mean ATTITUDE is very apparent. For whatever reason guests are greeted with a very snotty and condescending tone. for a Yoga Studio that surely promotes well being and balance I would say that there is none of that coming from anyone with exception of the instructors. this is too bad as I wont be returning after my groupon expires. read more

Great place and great yoga classes, just bad business practices. I bought a 1 year membership and two months later was told the studio (on Eastern) was closing. Refund is apparently not an option. Going to the other studio is not an option for me, too far from my house. They partnered with Green Valley Life Time Athletic in order for us to take some yoga classes on this side of town but it is far from what I intended at the time of purchase, literally and figuratively. The responsible thing to do would have been to issue refunds or let students know that a possible closure was on the horizon. But, they didn't do it. read more

This is our new yoga home. I have been a loyal student of Jennifer Pierotti for almost two years, and when she moved to Yoga Sanctuary to teach her mysore classes, it has been truly great. Besides being such a phenomenal and inspiring teacher, her passion to teach the Ashtanga Yoga Method is magnificent. Her alignment cues and hands on teaching have personally given me work to improve my practice. She inspires you to reach your fullest potential in the Ashtanga practice that makes me grateful as one of her students. For those who think they cannot do this practice, with my experience with Jennifer, Anyone can practice Ashtanga. The Yoga Sanctuary team is very friendly and sweet. They never fail to greet their students and ask how they are, and also ask our feedback often. They make us feel like we are family. :) and I have also taken Ashtanga led with Greg go and he is such a wonderful and great teacher as well. read more

I live in the DC area and practice at Yoga Sanctuary when I visit my family in Las Vegas. I've been a visiting practitioner at this studio for 5 years. I have never had anything less than a positive experience. I always go in the morning and have taken classes with all of the morning teachers. My home studio is very crowded so I love that the studio is large and spacious. I have also participated in several workshops over the years and have always found them to be top-notch. Practicing at Yoga Sanctuary is always one of the highlights of my trips to Las Vegas! read more

After a horrible experience with the Bikram Yoga place down the street, I noticed a Groupon for Sherry Goldstein's Yoga Sanctuary. I decided to give it a shot. This is the yoga I remember growing up with. The focus is about mind/spirit connection and correct posturing and the atmosphere is welcoming, peaceful, and loving. There is no drive to "push until it hurts" (something I heard at the Bikram Yoga place and do NOT believe is connected with yoga in the least) but rather to connect with your inner self and get to know your body better. This studio is absolutely fantastic and I am enjoying my groupon. It is a priority on my list to get an unlimited pass as soon as I can! read more

I loved this studio for the $10 classes, the special guest teachers, and groupons!! Otherwise this place is pricey, which makes me sad because making money and material stuff is not what yoga is about. But money aside it is a very clean studio with great teachers who are very professional. When I did my groupon I took Vinyasa classes and the Baptiste classes, which I liked them all. After my groupon I came to Shawn's Ashtanga class and kept coming because it was affordable and he is a great Ashtanga teacher. But if you go for the first time you will probably be lost, but follow someone who looks like they know what they are doing and you will be fine and then keep going because that's what it is supposed to be!! And I love love their special teachers, including Tim Miller and David Williams, those were awesome and inspiring!! read more
