The Sanctum workout combines HIIT with breathwork and emotional release
Sanctum was founded in the Netherlands
Luuk Melisse, founder of Sanctum, will take those quick enough to secure spots through a class this evening at the Holy Trinity Church, South Kensington in London, UK.

The session will take place at 7.00pm local time and will feature the brand’s signature movement rituals – involving breathwork, sound and collective emotional release.

The practice is designed to help participants slow down, reflect and move with intention.

Read more about how the brand was created to offer people a cathartic, spiritual mind/body experience in our interview with Melisse here.

Sanctum is also delivering four more events:

• Sanctum Immersion – a retreat that will take place between 23-29 August at The Chedi Andermatt in the heart of the Swiss Alps.

• Sanctum Retreat – a wellness programme at Six Senses Rome that will run between 5-7 September.

• Soneva Soul Festival – between 9-13 October, Sanctum will offer its sessions at the festival at Soneva Fushi, a resort within the Baa Atoll, Maldives.

• Global Wellness Summit (GWS) – Sanctum will run sessions during GWS, a business and education conference for professionals in the spa and wellness industry – between 18-21 October in Dubai.
