The Wellness Sanctuary is a yoga and healing studio at 5 Devonshire Place in Taradale, Napier. Its classes include Yin yoga, Ashtanga, Vinyasa flow and beginners' yoga. Alongside yoga, it offers sound healing, Reiki, massage, breathwork and cacao ceremonies. The breathwork is led by Sarah, who combines conscious connected breathwork with Reiki, light language and sound healing using Tibetan bowls. A 90-minute one-to-one session is $180 as at 2026, a couples session of up to two hours is $280 as at 2026, and private group journeys start at $300 as at 2026. Retreats are also run at Mangarara Eco Lodge, about 50 minutes south of Napier, with daily yoga and qigong and plant-based food.
A first-time yoga student on Google says they enjoyed the Yin class and will go back. A breathwork client says they were apprehensive at first, but felt safe and found the sessions powerful. The website lists upcoming dates for 30 October and 1 November 2026, and the public breathwork journeys run only sporadically across Hawke's Bay.
