Another beautiful beach yoga class by the sea with the very iconic Folly Beach Pier in the background. This space is so great because it’s a little out of the busy area of downtown, but still has that VIEW!
Hope to see you for beach yoga soon!

Love the morning glories on the dunes at our beach yoga spot! They almost seem surreal how they pop up all over the place on the sand dunes and then disappear so suddenly every evening. There’s something magical about that! I just loved the look of this one with the drops of rain collecting on it.
Please join us in welcoming yoga teacher Lesley Leake back to the Charleston, SC area! Lesley will be teaching beach yoga classes alongside with us at Folly Beach Island Yoga at the 5th Street East beach. She will be joining us mid-August 2017. Whether you’re here for vacation or live here full time make time in your schedule to check out one of Lesley’s classes with Folly Beach Island Yoga. Please see our schedule to get a full listing of all of her classes.
Lesley took her very first yoga class as a student at College of Charleston 7 years ago. She practiced off and on for several years, but it wasn’t until she moved to Columbia in 2015 for graduate school that she really fell in love with the practice. One day in a vinyasa flow class Lesley had that “aha” moment where mind, body, and breath were all connected. It didn’t take her long to realize that she wanted to help others find that same feeling of connection, and so she decided to become a teacher herself.
Lesley also works at the University of South Carolina’s school of public health where she helps improve public health programs across the state. When she is not practicing or teaching yoga, she is in the mountains rock climbing and camping, or riding her bike around downtown.
Lesley will begin teaching a class on Folly Beach with Folly Beach Island Yoga beginning in August 2017.
Working on the weekend isn’t so bad when this is your walkway in to work!

Jenny Stevens demonstrating and discussing the anatomical effects Raja (meaning royal) yoga style arm swings. Particularly good for the golf swing, arm swings provide a gentle cardiovascular exercise that simultaneously tones and loosens tense muscles throughout the entire body while improving flexibility.
Jenny will be teaching an open level yoga class tomorrow (Sunday) at 10 a.m. upstairs at St. James Gate Irish Pub, 11 Center Street, Folly Beach, SC 29439
We’re so very blessed to have the opportunity to share our practice at this fun spot every weekend! Saturdays come see us upstairs at St. James Gate Irish Pub at 11 a.m. and on Sundays join us at 10 a.m. Afterwards remember to check out the menu downstairs if you’ve never had a chance to pop in before.

It’s back in the swing of things this week with a Tuesday evening sunset beach yoga class by Matt Foley at 7 p.m. on this very spot on the beach at 5th Street East, Folly Beach, SC. Come practice in the sand and enjoy the pier view on this stunning barrier island near Charleston, SC. Hang out just a little longer and you’ll be just in time to catch the sunset!
Remember to bring plenty of water and a large towel, or mat if you prefer. Classes are only $12 and you can even save up to 10% with 3, 5, or 10 pack class passes online. Whether you’re on vacation and looking for things to do on the island, or you’re a local unwinding after a long work day sunset yoga is an experience that you must try.
A paid parking lot is available at the beach entrance as are a limited number of free street side parking spots. Please remember to park your car facing the same direction as the flow of traffic and to pull your tires fully off the road if you choose street side parking.
We hope to see you there!
