If you live in Bay City and are thinking about trying yoga or looking for a studio, THIS IS IT! I was in town for a conference and went every evening I was there. It was easy to sign up for classes online. The owner, instructors, and students were so friendly and welcoming!!

I have been attending classes at Sanctuary Yoga since their first class on NYE. I love being a member of this studio! The instructors are amazing and I’ve enjoyed taking classes with each of them. I love the variations that they give as options for each pose.

I have been going to Sanctuary Yoga for about a month now. I love the variety of classes that are offered. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite class because I love them all! Every instructor is extremely kind and welcoming. I highly encourage anyone to join whether you are a beginner or advanced there’s a spot for you!

Your first hot yoga class at Sanctuary Yoga Bay City

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.
