From the reviews

From the moment I first stepped into Sanctuary I felt so at peace. Whether it’s offering free tea and researching the very best experts in various fields to teach us, it’s obvious how much love the owner, Stephanie, puts into her place and how grateful she is to share it with us.

★★★★☆ — Chauntenique, Mar 2025

A healthy healing space with excellent teachers right next to the health food store in Toms River. Stephanie was my first yoga instructor over 20 years ago and I’m thrilled she’s cultivated such a warm and inviting studio with many classes, workshops and individual session opportunities.

Your first hot yoga class at Sanctuary Yoga and Meditation

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
