My signature offering is a fusion of modalities working with restorative breathing (pranayama and breathwork), somatic awareness, light movement, meditation, astrological cycles and rhythms and circle work. We use surround sound headphones for guided journeys, integration and yoga nidra.

I consider it a reset for the {collective and personal} nervous system.

"Restoratives Class" tonight was an immersive experience. Jenn's fusion of soft breathwork with a fully embodied nidra was a relaxed release leading into complete rest fused with a deeply connecting and resonating sound bath. The perfectly fused immersion blurred the lines between senses, between physical and spiritual. Every cell in my body is now vibrating and healing at a level beyond knowing.

Jenn, as I was laid in bed last night feeling held and relaxing into sleep I thought of the sanctuary circle. It gives me the same feeling. All I do is show up and you all expect nothing from me. I cannot express the calm my nervous system feels while there with you all. And I thank you for it.

First, I slept GREAT last night. Second, I woke up with a smile and ENERGY that I haven’t had in a while. It wasn’t due to great sex last night or two cups of coffee this morning. It was from participating freely in Mindful Groves last night. While asana and restorative yoga with Jenn got me hooked, Mindful Grooves rocked my world…literally. Yoga peacefully opens and heals our heart as we ease into our bodies with awareness. Mindful Grooves is an energetic Yoga, with opening and renewal of spirit that I desperately needed, offering an energy and "go-get-'em" attitude deep within my belly...haven't had that in longer than I can remember. I had FUN. I SMILED REAL SMILES! Thanks to Nichole's offered guidance, I was able to find a freedom and liberation I did not expect as I hesitantly began "dancing". There is no telling what the combination of subtle body practice and the energies of dance can do for me...for us! This was a fusion of styles, perfectly formulated for me! I’ve needed to break loose from the box I was put in. I'm being unwrapped and about to jump out. I feel it in my bones, in my belly, in my heart. I am the lotus coming out of the muck...blooming. This Sanctuary is a home, place of refuge, guidance, creativity, friendship and most importantly to me, TRUST and safety. Thank you to all the lovely people and their energies that truly make this sanctuary transformative! You are my people. Jenn and Nichole, thank you for leading me back to me. S.S.

I remember the first time I tried a basic yoga pose. I could not even get on the floor and was unable to lay my head down. I am much more able to complete a yoga pose, and I feel much stronger physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I have learned to breathe in my life and to see the world’s light in new ways. Thank you for your goodness!!

Jenn Brooks saved me in so many ways by encouraging my awareness and teaching me to breathe.

Jenn’s Tuesday evening yoga Nidra class guides me to a place that allows my nervous system to reset into a peaceful, restorative state. It is a magical experience that I look forward to each week.

Debbie M.

I Love, Love, Love your yoga! I always feel so much better mentally and physically. I feel reconnected to my body. I’m reclaiming it!

Sally S.

Thank you for being a gracious teacher. It has been an honor to be your student and your guidance has been a wonderful spiritual experience over the years.

As the director and operator of this space, I share with you my values:

--Yoga practice is for all bodies and I aim to make the classes I share assessible for most everyone.

--I aim to build community and a sense of belongingness.

--I create a safe environment for you to find your own inner sanctuary residing in the heart of your heart. The heart is the home of your inner healer.

--I acknowledge that Yoga comprises more than our physical body. I aim to offer classes and workshops that support restoring balance in the astral/subtle body of vitality and energy as well as the causal body of higher mind, karma and soul self.

Welcome Home.

With deep appreciation and gratitude,
Jenn Brooks

Terminology I Use for The Yoga Sanctuary

Gentle and Accessible Yoga classes are ideal for those who have impaired joint mobility (bad knees, hips, shoulders) and need classes that are more accessible and gentle on those joints.

Active classes are going to involve more standing and strengthening poses and feel more like a "work-out" depending on your physical condition.

Restorative classes are passive classes that are done on the floor using a bunch of yoga bolsters and blankets. They support deep relaxation and often involves breathing and meditations practices.

Beginner and Basics classes mean there will be more instruction given, teaching elements of poses and often including personal instruction. Beginner classes can be gentle and accessible or not.

Yin Yoga is done on the floor and is a deep stretch. Modifications are offered for people with joint mobility issues. It is often practiced alongside Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra in my classes. I consider this advance yoga practice, albeit physically gentle most often.

Yoga Nidra is an advanced form of guided meditation and relaxation and journey into the heart of your heart, your innermost sanctuary. This is an advanced practice as well as the way I teach it.

Asana Clinics are workshops where I go into a set of poses and help a student learn modifications and variations and possibly deepen their asana knowledge. Asana means "pose."

Retreats and workshops are where we dive in deeper together through movement, meditation, lecture, inquiry and more.

Breathwork refers to a different style of working with the breath than is used in Yoga in the way I share it. In Yoga, I'm sharing breathing and pranayama practices that used to increase capacity for breath and inner spaciousness, as well as to activate Prana (life force energy). Breathwork, is a specific modality, that can be used to breath through patterns and karmas by using specific breathing patterns that create an altered state of consciousness.

The Wellness Protocols

The Wellness Protocols: As we become used to the reality that virus is endemic, the following guidelines and suggestions for collective beneficial community care, both from a physical and mental/emotional standpoint.

I ask that each of us have full autonomy for our own safety. If at any time you feel safer wearing a mask, wear it. I invite you to bring your own masks and I will have disposable masks available.

At certain times of the year when many people could be displaying symptoms of allergies. Be aware of both your own allergy responses and be compassionate to those who are dealing with allergies. Again, if at any time you feel unsafe around those displaying allergy symptoms, please wear a mask or excuse yourself from class.

To limit the risk of infection, I ask that those who attend class onsite/in-person carefully and honestly assess their health prior to heading to class and ask that anyone who is even mildly symptomatic (including sore throat, cough, sinus/nasal congestion, loss of smell, fever, or unexplained body ache or fatigue) stay home.

While I appreciate the hardship of missing a class that you may have made significant sacrifices to be able to attend, the wellbeing and care for all those attending is of utmost importance.

Together, let’s do our best to make this a safe, enjoyable, and supportive environment.

Due to the nature of this ever-changing situation, there may be a need for a shift in this protocol. I reserve the right to modify these suggestions at any time.
