Sunrise or Starlight Yoga

Charleston County Parks is sponsoring a new series that allows you to practice yoga in scenic spots in its parks across the Lowcountry. 

You have the option of either morning (Sunrise Yoga) or evening (Starlight Yoga) sessions.  Some have live musical accompaniment and special glow-in-the-dark prizes for nighttime classes.

Venues include the Mount Pleasant Pier, Wannamaker County Park, James Island County Park, Johns Island County Park, Folly Beach County Park, and Caw Caw Interpretive Center.

She is a 200- hour RYT. She teaches all levels, beginners to advanced."

Here’s what they say about the class leader:  "Instructor Kelly-Jean is a certified Rolfer who has been teaching Yoga and Contemplative movement for almost 2 decades. From 2012 until 2020 she taught weekly classes, led teacher trainings, and maintained a private Rolfing practice at her brick and mortar studio, Mission Yoga. During that period she also founded Sarayana Yoga, a system of Hatha Yoga that Synthesizes TCM, Taoism, and Rolfing concepts. Not a style of movement, Sarayana is more of a method of seeing and contextualizing the varied elements of healing and awakening in our lives."
