Our Mission
The Sanctuary by Believe exists to provide a welcoming and thoughtfully led space for infrared hot yoga, therapeutic massage, and personal coaching. Our studio is designed to support intentional movement, physical restoration, and sustainable living in an environment that is calm, focused, and faith filled.
At the heart of our offerings is the Believe Hot Yoga system, created and taught by founder Tammy Calhoun. This signature approach integrates infrared heat, functional breath support, and a refined 26/2 posture sequence inspired by Bikram & Original Hot Yoga .
In addition to this system, The Sanctuary hosts a wide range of yoga disciplines led by highly skilled and qualified instructors, including vinyasa flows, power yoga sessions, and other complementary practices.
All classes and offerings are conducted within a carefully designed infrared studio environment.
The Sanctuary also offers women’s therapeutic massage services provided by Tammy Calhoun, a highly trained and experienced massage therapist specializing in intuitive and restorative bodywork.
Her approach is grounded in attentive listening, skilled touch, and respect for the body’s natural capacity to release, recover, and rebalance. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to support relaxation, recovery, and overall physical wellbeing.
Across all services, our work is guided by principles of integrity, stewardship, and care for the whole person. We strive to create a space where individuals can move with purpose, restore strength, and engage in practices that support a well lived life.

Our Story
Believe Hot Yoga and The Sanctuary by Believe
Founded by Steven and Tammy Calhoun
In 2024, Steven and Tammy Calhoun felt a clear pull toward a slower, more intentional life, one grounded in faith, health, and purpose. That calling led them from Southern California to the hills of Boquete, Panama, where they now serve their community through faith based volunteer work and a shared vision for restoration and renewal.
Believe Hot Yoga was not born from ambition. It was born from calling.
Tammy had long carried a deep devotion to yoga and whole body wellness. Steven has always been a quiet builder of meaningful things, spaces, gardens, and places where people can feel safe enough to rest. Together, they envisioned a small and welcoming studio where people could arrive exactly as they are, without pressure or pretense, and begin again.
What started as a modest subleased corner of another studio became something deeply personal. Guided by Steven’s steady hands and thoughtful care, the couple built The Sanctuary by Believe, a space marked by warmth, simplicity, and soul.
Tammy’s classes are slow, strong, and heart led, thoughtfully designed for women navigating midlife and seasons of transition. Her approach to hot yoga emphasizes breath, stillness, strength, and personal grace. No flexibility is required. No prior experience is needed.
Only a willingness to begin.
If you are reading this and wondering whether it is too late, it is not. Maybe you have never stepped onto a mat. Maybe it has been a long time. Maybe you are carrying more than physical weight.
At Believe, you are welcome. You are not too old, not too out of shape, and you are not too far gone.
Here, with Steven’s steady presence and Tammy’s compassionate guidance, you are invited to move, breathe, sweat a little, smile often, and remember that healing does not operate on a timeline.
Believe Hot Yoga is more than a class. The Sanctuary is more than a space. It is a place to return to yourself, and to the quiet belief that you can
begin again.
