Our Offerings

  • At Sankalpa School of Yoga, each class style is thoughtfully designed to support the whole self—body, mind, and energy—while honoring your personal intention (your Sankalpa).

    Offerings range from dynamic, strength-building practices like Vinyasa and Power Yoga to slower, alignment-focused Hatha classes that create a strong and steady foundation. For deep release and restoration, Yin, Restorative Yoga, and Yoga Nidra invite stillness, recovery, and nervous system balance.

    Unique offerings like SUP Yoga and seasonal outdoor classes connect movement with nature, while workshops and specialty sessions provide opportunities for deeper learning and transformation.

    Every class is accessible and adaptable, meeting you exactly where you are—whether you seek strength, flexibility, rest, or renewal.

    In essence:
     Sankalpa styles are more than classes—they are intentional experiences designed to help you awaken, align, and transform.

  • During a session—often called a sound bath—instruments such as crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, chimes, and tuning forks create waves of sound that gently wash over the body. These vibrations interact with the nervous system, helping shift the body from a state of stress into deep relaxation.

    Sound healing works through principles of resonance and entrainment. The frequencies produced can encourage the brain to move into slower states (alpha and theta), where meditation, restoration, and inner awareness naturally occur.

    Benefits may include:

    Reduced stress and anxiety

    Improved sleep and relaxation

    Emotional release and clarity

    Enhanced focus and presence

    A deeper connection to self

    Rather than something you “do,” sound healing is something you receive. You simply rest, breathe, and allow the vibrations to guide you into stillness.

  • Sankalpa School of Yoga is preparing to expand beyond classes with a curated offering of trainings and workshops designed for deeper learning, personal growth, and transformation.

    Upcoming experiences will include yoga teacher trainings, sound healing education, and specialty workshops that explore movement, meditation, breathwork, and holistic wellness practices. Each offering is rooted in intention, blending traditional wisdom with modern, accessible teaching methods.

    Whether you are looking to deepen your personal practice or step into teaching, these trainings will provide a supportive, immersive environment to grow with clarity and confidence.

    In essence:
     Sankalpa trainings and workshops are an invitation to go deeper—into your practice, your purpose, and your path.

    Coming soon.

Appointment Experience

At Sankalpa School of Yoga, each appointment is a personalized and intentional experience designed to support your body, calm your mind, and reconnect you to your inner purpose.

Offering not only sound healing in the yoga shala and the yurt but compression therapy and a variety of yoga and wellness practices such as Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Restorative Yoga, and Yoga Nidra. Each session is thoughtfully curated to meet you exactly where you are—whether you’re seeking strength, flexibility, deep relaxation, stress relief, or energetic alignment.

Sound healing may be woven into sessions using crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, and chimes to enhance relaxation and bring the body into a deeper state of balance. Movement-based sessions may focus on building strength, improving mobility, or creating space within the body, while restorative and meditative practices guide you into stillness and nervous system reset.

Private and small group appointments offer an intimate, supportive environment where you can unwind, reset, and return to your Sankalpa, your intention.

This is more than a class—it’s a space to reconnect, realign, and restore.

Fall Classes Coming soon!

Classes at Sankalpa School of Yoga are thoughtfully designed to support all levels, offering a balance of movement, breath, and mindfulness.

Offerings include Vinyasa Flow, Hatha, Yin, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, breathwork, meditation, and sound healing integration. Each class provides a unique experience—ranging from energizing and strength-building flows to slow, grounding, and deeply restorative practices.

You’ll be guided with clear instruction and intention, allowing you to move at your own pace while building strength, improving flexibility, and calming the nervous system. Modifications and options are always offered, creating an inclusive and supportive environment for every body.

Whether you are looking to build heat, release tension, or simply reset, classes are a space to reconnect with your breath, your body, and your Sankalpa—your inner intention.

This is more than a workout—it’s a practice of awareness, balance, and transformation.

Yoga Shala

At Sankalpa School of Yoga, each class style is thoughtfully designed to support the whole self—body, mind, and energy—while honoring your personal intention (your Sankalpa).

Offerings range from dynamic, strength-building practices like Vinyasa and Power Yoga to slower, alignment-focused Hatha classes that create a strong and steady foundation. For deep release and restoration, Yin, Restorative Yoga, and Yoga Nidra invite stillness, recovery, and nervous system balance.

Unique offerings like SUP Yoga and seasonal outdoor classes connect movement with nature, while workshops and specialty sessions provide opportunities for deeper learning and transformation.

Every class is accessible and adaptable, meeting you exactly where you are—whether you seek strength, flexibility, rest, or renewal.

Yoga Shala Sound Bath

Step into the शांत, grounded energy of the yoga shala—a sacred space designed for stillness, presence, and inner connection.

The Yoga Shala Sound Bath is a deeply immersive experience where you rest comfortably on your mat, supported by props, blankets, and gentle ambiance. Surrounded by soft lighting and intentional energy, you are guided into relaxation through the soothing vibrations of crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, chimes, and subtle sound elements.

As the sounds wash over you, the body begins to soften, the breath slows, and the mind gently releases. The steady resonance of sound supports a meditative state, allowing you to move beyond thinking and into feeling—creating space for restoration and alignment.

This experience supports:
• Deep relaxation and nervous system reset
• Release of physical and emotional tension
• Enhanced mindfulness and inner awareness
• Grounding, clarity, and energetic balance

No experience is needed. Simply lie back, receive, and allow the sounds to guide you inward.

YURT SOUND BATH

Step into a serene, intimate space where nature, stillness, and sound come together.

Our yurt sound bath is a deeply restorative journey designed to calm the nervous system, release tension, and bring the body back into balance. Surrounded by the grounding energy of the yurt, you are gently guided into a state of relaxation while immersed in therapeutic sound vibrations.

Crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, chimes, and subtle frequencies create a layered soundscape that supports:

  • Deep relaxation and stress relief

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Emotional release and energetic clearing

  • Improved sleep and mental clarity

  • A renewed sense of inner calm and alignment

As you rest comfortably, the vibrations move through the body, helping to quiet the mind and restore harmony from within.

Each session is intentional, immersive, and thoughtfully curated—offering a space to disconnect from the external world and reconnect with yourself.

SUP YOGA

Experience the serenity of yoga on the water with SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboard) Yoga on beautiful Lake Cadillac. This unique practice blends balance, mindfulness, and nature as you flow through gentle yoga postures on your board, surrounded by the calming rhythm of the lake.

Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or new to both yoga and paddleboarding, this class invites you to connect deeply with the elements—earth, water, air, and sky. The gentle motion of the water enhances focus, core strength, and presence, creating a meditative and playful experience.

Join us on the lake for a refreshing practice that awakens the senses, strengthens the body, and restores the spirit.
