Welcome to Sanctuary Somatics.
Strength. Flexibility. Resilience.
NEW?
I've never done yoga. Is this for me?
Yes. All of our teachers love teaching yoga to newbies. Every class here can be adapted to the body you walked in with. Teachers cue alignment verbally and sometimes through hands-on assists, so you choose which cues to take and which to skip. Can't touch your toes? Bend your knees, use props, and/or apply the alignment modifications your teacher offers. Choosing whether or not to apply a cue is just as much a part of the practice as getting into the postures.
What's the best first class?
Alignment or Postures if you want to learn the shapes. Yin, Restore or Slow Flow if you want to slow down and let your nervous system settle. Working with a body that's in recovery or needs extra support? Wall Rope Yoga or Chair Yoga. Want to sweat? Power Vinyasa or Strengthen + Lengthen. Looking to just lie down and be? Meditation, Sound Healing or Breathwork. Looking for trauma-informed? Carin, Heidi, Ren, Karen and Kaitlyn are certified trauma-informed teachers — try Yin, Restore, Qigong or Chair Yoga. Not sure? Email us and we'll point you to the right one.
Is there a new student offer?
Yes — 2 weeks unlimited for $40. Take as many classes as you want and find what fits. Available to first-time students only.
How early should I arrive?
10–15 minutes before your first class so you can check in, get adapted to the space, and get comfortable. After that, 5–10 minutes is plenty.
What should I wear and bring?
Clothes you can comfortably move in (depending on class type) and water! You're always welcome to bring your own mat and props, but we have all the equipment you need, free of charge. Yoga is practiced barefoot.
Do I need to eat first?
A light snack an hour or two before is a good rule, especially for heated classes. Hydrate earlier in the day, during, and after classes.
CLASSES
How hot is "warm" and "hot"?
Warm classes are infrared-heated to 79–80°F. Hot classes run 83–88°F. Infrared warms your body more than the air, so it feels less stifling than forced-air heat. Every warm and hot class ends with a cold, essential-oil-infused towel in savasana. Your teachers always ask for consent before providing in respect to sensitivities.
Which classes are heated?
Check each class description in the Momence app. We aim to be as transparent as possible about class temperatures, so every listing tells you what to expect before you book.

BOOKING, PRICING, & POLICIES
How do I book?
Through Momence — on sanctuarysomatics.com or the Momence app. Booking directly through Momence is the best way to get into class, with the least friction — and it saves your spot.
What does it cost?
You'll find every class pack, membership and offer on the Pricing page. Or better yet, directly in your account through the Momence App- where you can purchase, manage, book, and share across accounts.
Is there a local, student or senior discount?
Check out our Pricing page for details.
What's the cancellation policy?
Can't make it? Please cancel in Momence so someone else can take your spot.
Do class packs expire?
Yes. Every class pack expires 6 months after purchase.
Can I share my pack with a friend?
Yes! You can share your pack at checkout in the Momence App. Your friend must make an account before so, this informs the system who you are sharing it with, and ensures everyone has signed a waiver.
What if I'm running late?
Some teachers offer a grace period, but it's always best to arrive at least 5 minutes early!
Is there an age minimum?
All classes are 12+, except Mommy & Me and Ecstatic Dance (Sundays, 10:30am) — little ones are welcome there! Moms often bring their younger kids, and they get to play together. Some restrictions apply for special events.
THE STUDIO
Where do I park?
Anywhere in front of the studio! You can find the entrance to the studio from the street by locating the blue and red Sanctuary Somatics Sign hanging above the entry porch.
Where are you?
513 South Main, Gunnison. We're at the very end of Main Street, past the arts center toward the airport.
Do you have mats and props?
Yes — all the equipment you need, free of charge. You're welcome to bring your own too.
Do you have showers, changing rooms or lockers?
We have one spacious bathroom. No showers, but you're always welcome to use the bathroom to change.
BEYOND THE STUDIO & CONTACT
What is Yoga in the Park?
A free, donation-based outdoor class Sanctuary Somatics brought to Gunnison in summer 2026. Donations went to the Gunnison Farmers Market. And yes — it's coming back every summer because it was so much fun!
Do you offer private sessions?
Yes! Email kez@sanctuarysomatics.com, call (405) 694-5394, or visit the Pricing tab on sanctuarysomatics.com to learn more.
Can I rent the space to teach or host an event?
We don't typically offer space rentals because of our full daily schedule. Want to pitch a workshop? Email kez@sanctuarysomatics.com.
