Sanaa Yoga Studios

Founded in 2023 by certified yoga instructor Sanaa Tynes, Sanaa Yoga Studios (affectionately known as SYS), provides transformative yoga experiences that focus on energy, balance, self-discovery, and inner peace. The name “Sanaa” (pronounced SUH-NAY), a Swahili word meaning “work of art,” inspires our movements and informs our approach. SYS specializes in Baptise Power Yoga, a technique that links 53 poses, or asanas, together by connective momentum and consists of five classical pillars: gaze, breath, foundation, heat, and flow.
