Yoga + Wellness Classes

Sterling Sanctuary is the wellness studio of Sterling Forest Lodge and offers a variety of pop-up yoga and wellness classes in our mountain view studio. Tucked away up in the forest, the studio experience here is unlike any other in Vermont; with an inspired studio, passionate teachers, and warm sanctuary space to relax before or after class.

Come for a class, or just curl up next to the fire in our sanctuary space. Or both.

Classes price: Sliding scale from $16-$23 -- so you can pay what you can, or pay it forward. Class cards coming soon.

Gift Cards are available, too!

Rustic Spa + Hydrotherapy

The rustic spa experience at Sterling Sanctuary is nothing short of magical. Enjoy the healing benefits of hydrotherapy while surrounded by the serenity of the forest.

Our custom built wood-fired sauna, wood-fired hot tubs, and cedar cold plunge are available for 90 minute sessions up to 6 people at a time. Come with friends, a partner, or solo and enjoy a hydrotherapy experience with breathtaking views of the green mountains.

Sessions can be booked during our open spa hours on Sundays. Get in touch if you'd like to book a private session!

Session price: $35 per person for 90 minutes.

We also offer private sessions! Inquire here.

The Sanctuary Pass

If you're looking for that extra bit of quiet before or after a yoga class, or just want to journal and lounge by the fire, Sterling Sanctuary offers a Sanctuary Pass that gives you access to all our cozy spaces in the lodge, 30 acres of trails, a swimming pond, and tea to enjoy during your time with us.

You can choose to add on a Sanctuary Pass to any studio class or spa session or just purchase the pass itself for access to all our spaces for the day. Your forest wellness sanctuary awaits.

Sanctuary Passes: Add-on to any class or session for $15. Purchase the pass by itself for $30. Passes must be purchased for a specific day.

Hours: Sundays 10am-5pm or 1:00pm-5pm depending on the weekend.

Mindful Outdoor Experiences

Part of our mission at Sterling Forest is to help people connect back to nature in meaningful and purposeful ways.

One of our core offerings are Mindful Outdoor Experiences (MOE). Using principles of forest bathing, nature meditation, and mindfulness, participants are guided through a slow and deliberate experience in the natural world. Experiences are led by Blake Whitman, co-owner of Sterling Forest Lodge, and certified Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide.

Custom and private experiences are also available.

Our Rooms


Each room at the Lodge tells a different story. Stories of Vermont. Stories of nature. Stories of time. New stories we hope you will tell after staying with us. Above all else, they are all designed with comfort and sustainability at the core.
