“Gary Sullivan & Megan Harris at Sattva Yoga and wellness have created a warm and safe space with deep knowledge, compassion and joy.”

From the reviews
Sattva IS a place where I can go to be with like-minded people and also commit an hour of Yoga: to be with myself, to be present, to breathe, to heal, to stretch and strengthen, to grow. I find myself here. It is enriching. I am challenged!
This is such a great community to join! Everybody I met here greeted me with kindness. I started working with Gary through his classes at Randolph College following a knee surgery and he worked with me to make modifications and be able to go to yoga class as I healed.
Sattva Yoga Studio is a jewel in downtown/Rivermont area of Lynchburg. Plenty of parking in spacious lot and nice clean place. I love Megan who leads the beginner yoga at lunchtime. Helps me a lot!
I'm so grateful for the community Gary has been cultivating here at Sattva! Gary has been my go-to yoga teacher for years, and the yoga classes always feel like just what I needed, plus the membership fee is the most affordable in town.
New to tai chi? Start at Sattva Yoga and Wellness Center
Sattva Yoga and Wellness Center comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at Sattva Yoga and Wellness Center
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
