Inversions are for learning, not necessarily doing… making them the ultimate in delayed gratification. But, then again Ewa’s inversion workshop is THE perfect hack to get you better equipped to go upside down…like now.

Join her Sunday for our quarterly Inversion workshop!

If your body has been holding tension this
is where you release it.
Yin + Restore

It’s softening that is the magic.
Each Wednesday Ashley leads
this dreamy practice ✨
We end with sound bowls
calming the nervous system…
Come unwind with us,
this is your weekly reset

I’ve found most students don’t know the difference between yin & restorative the first time they practice with me… and it’s not their fault. These practices are taught so ambiguously that sometimes teachers aren’t even aware of the subtle (yet important) principles of the two. So if you’re expecting a slow, quiet, and still practice for this Friday’s “Yin for Spring” practice…you’ll be alittle surprised 😮 spring is a time of growth, momentum that needs alittle more movement.

Expect; shorter holds, lengthening shapes (think; you’ll be standing taller), and a little acupressure to help move what’s stuck

Join me Friday at 6:45p for this seasonal offering. I hope you leave feeling rested but, also, attune ✨🌳🌷

A Week in Greece✨
Each year I take a small group from our community somewhere beautiful to practice, explore, and reset.
This June we return to Lefkada, a quiet island in the Ionian Sea where the water is impossibly turquoise and the days unfold slowly.
Our rhythm is simple: Morning practice overlooking the sea. Long afternoons exploring beaches or resting by the pool. Evenings gathering again for restorative work and a beautiful meal prepared by our local chef.

It’s a week to step away from the pace of daily life and remember what it feels like to move, breathe, and think clearly again.

We have two private rooms remaining for this retreat.

If Greece has been on your mind, this might be your moment.

Weekends at Sacred feel steady.

We start slower.
There’s time for hellos.
We build from the ground up.
We stay a little longer.

In this community, you’re not just another body in the room.
We get to know you.

A glimpse into the weekend rhythm.

Our community is shaped by teachers who, themselves, keep studying, practicing, and growing year after year. Annelise brings that depth into every class.

She’s been teaching since 2003, weaving an alignment-based perspective into fun, creative vinyasa classes - helping people understand their bodies and explore what feels true and steady on the mat. Her classes are grounded, honest, and encouraging of exploration rather than performance.

Annelise is a 500ERYT Yoga Teacher with over 20 yrs of teaching experience in flow and subtler practices like yin and restorative. She co-leads our “Beyond the Class” 200HR Immersion starting in March. We are excited to have amazing teachers guiding this year’s group.

We show up in shared spaces, with busy lives, learning how to practice in relationship.

Whether it’s workshops, training, retreat, or years of returning to your favorite class ~ yoga unfolds in community now and we believe it’s one of the most powerful aspects of a regular practice. Don’t have a yoga bestie yet? Come see us..as amazing as classes are we think the best part of sacred is our community!

Honored that we are still here to look back…

We kicked off MLK Day with Yoga at the Atlanta Hawks, celebrated anniversaries, graduated our second teacher training class, popped up at Sweetwater & Arches breweries, retreated to Costa Rica and took our first group to Cuba…life changing retreats

Bonus points if you were there or remember when the roof of our O4W building caught on fire & we had to evacuate our 6A class…. (no one was hurt!)

the film industry was exploding, y’allywood was a thing and the beltline was just beginning to blossom…and we were knee deep in our communities in EAV and O4W. Every year in Atlanta is special but it’s sweet to look back at all the change in the past ten years

A yoga practice is built one class at a time. A yoga lifestyle - the full system of study, reflection and mindful living - unfolds over months and years. But most classes (even ours) won’t go this deep.

That’s why we created Beyond the Class: an invitation to learn , digest and explore tb full philosophy of yoga.

If you want to teach, there is a pathway for certification within the program and if not, you will get to experience & learn more about the full system of yoga…something that can benefit your practice for the rest of your life

We begin in March. Who’s ready to join us?
