Ananda Sanctuary | Yoga Studio, Meditation & Healing

As a visitor to Cape Town it was important for me to keep up with my instudio yoga. I'm happy Ananda Sanctuary was the home of my practice for the week. I would encourage anyone (local or visitor) to take up a week or month pass and experience all the different instructors, dynamic, and unique in their flows, to find the combination of classes that fit and best serve you.

Ananda Sanctuary in Woodstock is such a great place to practice yoga. You immediately feel at peace as you enter this Victorian House. Lindy and the teachers are so friendly, make you feel part of the Ananda family. Lindy is always trying to bring something new besides classes. I have participated in a few of the workshops that have been offered. Yesterday I participated in a Transitions & Bind Workshop with Beverley Slauck. Wow wow what an eye opening experience. Bev is an amazing, very knowledgeable teacher. She creates confidence in your ability to achieve anything you put your mind too. Even the most experience yogi would have learnt some new techniques and tricks at this workshop. I will definitely sign up for more workshops like this, thank you so much.

Ananda Sanctuary is an excellent yoga studio. Class sizes are perfect, allowing for more one-on-one interaction between the student and teacher. The teachers are knowledgeable, professional, and take the time needed to ensure the students have the best yoga experience possible. Thanks to the classes, and guidance from the teachers at Ananda Sanctuary, I have developed a lifelong passion for yoga. I highly recommend this studio to anyone into yoga or to those wanting to learn yoga.

Lovely studio, that is actually a house with warm and friendly teachers, lots of plants, candles and so unique. Great energy overall and the yoga room has a beautiful dark wooden floor. Mats are also available for rent for 20rand if needed.I just dropped in (very cheap) a couple of times but it’s a must stop for when I’m in Town.

What a perfect space for collective movement and breath work. This beautiful studio tucked away in the heart of Woodstock is a city oasis - peaceful. Quite. But full of energy!I had the privilege of attending one of Kat Suda's masterclasses at Ananda Sanctuary Studio... And oh my, this was an incredible experience! Thank you!!!Can't wait for more :) :)

Have thoroughly enjoyed accessing the online classes offered at Ananda Sanctuary. I've done classes with both Candice and Tara. Both teachers were easy to follow and engaging - so important while taking a class class online. I am by no means well versed in yoga, and yet found both teachers offered the necessary adjustments and adaptations to ensure the class was suitable for all levels and that I was comfortable throughout the practice. This is a tough ask while in a virtual space, to offer the modifications without having an in-person connection with students, and yet both teachers seemed to do so with ease. Booking classes was easy and convenient and the emails/app reminders ensured I prioritised my yoga practice amidst a busy day. I have really enjoyed my experience and look forward to future sessions.

Lovingly lead by Lindy, Ananda Sanctuary is perhaps the most beautiful space I have ever practiced yoga. Having spent years moving from studio to studio, moving to Woodstock lead me to the doors of this space - and I have never practiced yoga with such consistency and in such a held environment. Every care is taken to make this space feel like a home, and I feel honoured to engage in the small, mindful classes.an update to my review in 2023:We moved out to Claremont, and still there's no other studio I'd rather go to - so I try to get to Ananda at least twice a week. The rotation of incredible teachers, the expanse of the studio space that includes infrared heaters for hot classes - the calmness and tranquility of the beautiful old building that it is in - and all the ways Lindy continues to grow Ananda is just a privilege for me to be a part of. There is an openness, diversity and inclusivity which is quite unusual for most studios in the city, and yet should be the status quo. I really believe that speaks to Lindy's integrity and passion for yoga and healing modalities. Yoga is understood as a practice at Ananda and I've really thrived in deepening my practice here.Could not recommend enough!

Had a beautiful morning flow class today. Ananda has a great energy and a cosy space to have an intimate class in Woodstock. Well worth a look.They also offer the most amazing deep tissue fascia massage treatments
