We had Catherine come out to our house for a first full day yoga session during a bachelorette weekend. She was so accommodating to us wanting to go slowly (hangovers lol) and was affirming in all the best ways. She took care of all of us and the cool compress at the end was the perfect touch. Afterwards she shared all the photos as well as some Charleston recommendations. She and Melora were so communicative when booking, during the week before, and that day. I'd recommend them to anyone! read more

Melora is such a wonderful instructor! She hosts donation based yoga every day except Saturday. Make sure to check their yoga for the full schedule. You can pick from 10am classes or sunset classes. All are on the beach and either at Folly, Charleston Harbor Resort or IOP. Make sure to check which location before going because some are at the same time but different locations. read more

We had a private yoga class on Sullivan's Island Beach for my bachelorette party and it was perfect! Kelsey was our instructor and she helped us claim an awesome spot on the beach.  We had a variety of skill levels in the group and she offered variations for all groups.  Our group specifically commented on our her pacing was perfect- not too slow but not too fast!  It was relaxing and grounding but also had us all laughing throughout class.  At the end of class Kelsey gave me a little goodie bag with teas, stickers, and crystals.  It was so sweet and thoughtful & I currently have my crystals out as a calming reminder during the remainder of my crazy wedding planning!  10/10!!! read more

We had Shane come for my sisters bachelorette party last weekend. She was so great! She was going the perfect pace and helped people if they needed help. She was very kind, and laughed with the ones that were struggling. The best part for me was the end with the lavender cold towel. read more

We had a wonderful yoga session in Hampton park with Lauren for my best friends bachelorette! the weather was beautiful, the bride to be enjoyed it so much. It was a challenge, but in a good way. read more

Melora and Destiny (who was being trained) led a group of ladies the first morning of our weekend bachelorette party in Folly Beach. It was cold and wet outside, so they led us in the living room of our AirBnB. One of our friends is pregnant, and Melora was so great at being attentive to her while also creating a really wonderful class based on our want to "not work too hard, feel relaxed and get a little bit of workout" :) Melora's voice is so lovely and relaxing, and she had some really beautiful words for my sister (the bride) and the rest of us that brought us to tears! It was a great kick off to a beautiful weekend, and we are so grateful! She also gave the bride a lovely bundle of calming items for the wedding day which we didn't know she would do. I would 100% recommend Melora in whatever capacity when you're looking for a yoga class in the Charleston area! read more

Beach yoga with Serenity Tree Yoga was the most relaxing and amazing experience! My husband booked for our mom group and I was a bit nervous as we had partied a bit too hard the night before. However, Melora was wonderful and customized the session to our group's needs. On top of the smooth movements, Melora gently guided each of us to enhance our flow. We ended the session with a cold cloth and a lengthy shavasana. It was the perfect activity to cure our hangovers. Highly recommend to any group! read more

We absolutely loved our session with Kelsey from Serenity Tree Yoga! We did a chilly morning beach yoga session, a perfect blend of power and restorative yoga - we got to pick the style of the class. This was a highlight of my Charleston bachelorette and I would highly recommend it! My girls had the absolute best time. We did our session on Sullivan's Island and made a res at Obstinate Daughter for brunch afterwards- I would highly recommend that plan if you are looking for where to go. We also were able to set our Airbnb as a backup location incase it rained, but we got a sunny beautiful day on the beach! Wish I could do this all over again! read more

I LOVE Serenity Tree. I have used them multiple times with different groups of women and each time everyone has enjoyed the experience so much! Their instructors are wonderful and will tailor the class to your group. They have a unique way of really enhancing the entire experience with light touch and essential oils if you enjoy that and the way they cue a class really gets you in the zone. I especially love that they will teach on the beach and bring towels for you to use. All you need to do is show up. I highly recommend this business and book early because they do fill up. read more

We booked an hour-long beachside yoga session with Lauren as part of my friend's bachelorette party and couldn't have been happier! We asked for a Beginner/Intermediate class and Lauren delivered. The flow was relaxed with just the right amount of challenge thrown in. And the essential oils and cool towels to close out the session were the icing on the cake! Lauren was also great about getting fun photos of the group and sending them to me as soon as the class concluded. Everything was easy to book and the staff of Serenity Tree Yoga were very communicative and helpful. Definitely recommend booking with them for your next trip to Charleston! read more

We loved our session with Lauren in Charleston, she came to our vacation rental and lead us through a custom yoga session. She went above and beyond with some thoughtful gifts for the bride and refreshing cold face towels at the end. Communication was great, the whole team was respectful and on time. They can bring mats for you if you need them. I would definitely recommend and do this again. Thanks Lauren! read more

Destiny was an incredible instructor! She came to our Air BNB to teach a private class on my bachelorette trip and it was definitely a highlight of the whole weekend! Kelsey also was amazing with getting our session booked. I can't recommend Serenity Tree enough! read more

We booked a private hour long yoga session with Savannah for our Folly Beach family vacation and it was great! We wanted to be on the beach but it was raining so we used the car port instead and it was still very relaxing. It was very easy to schedule, Savannah came on time and brought all the equipment we needed. She made modifications for our different ability levels and we all left feeling very peaceful. This is a wonderful addition to anyone's vacation in the area. read more

As a distance runner, I can be pretty bad about stretching and cross training. I used to practice yoga regularly, but got out of the habit because affordable yoga can be hard to find. Charleston has tons of places to practice yoga, but for those of us who only do yoga a few times a month (or if you're new to yoga and testing the waters), buying passes or annual memberships is pricey. Some friends invited me to a donation-based beach yoga at Folly, and I took them up on the offer. I wasn't sure what to expect because I'd never done yoga on the beach and it was quite windy at Folly. The instructor, Melora, was a pro and you could tell she has a lot of experience doing beach yoga. My mat was blowing around, but she showed me that you could dig 4 holes in the sand, bury each corner of the mat and cover it with sand, and it would stay down. Talk about a genius idea I hadn't thought of! The classes are held at 6th avenue, and there's a parking box and small lot located nearby. The practice was for all levels and abilities, and Melora has an assistant who walks around and helps her and they will make or show you adjustments for poses. The class is very basic, but she gives you free time toward the end where you can do handstands, shoulder stands, or whatever you'd like. She encouraged everyone to make the practice their own and keep it fun. At the end of our practice, she placed a cold cloth over our eyes- perfect for a hot summer day on Folly! The beach makes the experience, and most of us took a dip in the water afterwards. After class, I returned my cloth and made a donation. You can give as much or as little as you want, but the experience is worth the price of a class at a studio. I definitely recommend beach yoga and hope to continue going to Serenity Tree Yoga. If you're a beginner and just want to try it, or a seasoned yogi looking for somewhere new to practice, you should check it out. Plus, you're conveniently on Folly for brunch or a dip in the ocean when you're done! read more

Serenity Tree Yoga - The view from beach yoga on Folly this morning. - Yoga Near Me - Folly Beach, South Carolina

Can't say enough positive things about our experience with Serenity Tree Yoga and Melora! We did a morning yoga class at our Airbnb during my sister's bachelorette party. Melora perfectly tailored the class to what we were looking for and it was the perfect way to start off our morning and first day in Folly Beach - especially given we had a late night the night before. When I first reached out they responded quickly, were super communicative leading up to our trip and kept in touch while we were there! I only wish they had a Serenity Tree Yoga where I live so I could take classes all the time. read more

Um this was THE highlight of or bachelorette trip in Charleston. Melora and her crew were so helpful and communicative while booking our private beach yoga session and we all truly treasured the experience. The bride absolutely loved it. The sound of the waves while our toes dig into the sand as we did yoga combined with the soothing voice of the yoga instructor, Jennifer, was so otherworldly. Highly recommend. They were also able to work with some special accommodations and they seemed to really care that we had a balanced and enjoyable time. So glad we did this. read more

This was my second time using STY for an event and they continue to impress!! We booked them for a private yoga session in Isle of Palms for a 10 year wedding anniversary trip. Ally was our instructor and she was AWESOME. We had a larger group of beginners and she catered the class to our needs. Everyone said how special it was to get to do this as an activity and we all felt relaxed after the class. I hope to use STY next time I'm in the Charleston area! read more

I highly recommend booking this company for any bachelorette or event! We had a private beach yoga session on Sullivan's Island with Kiera for a friend's bachelorette party and it was fantastic. Kiera made sure to keep the yoga in line with our group's yoga level and didn't hesitate to give hands on assistance. The entire experience was serene and calm. They completely worked with our schedule and allowed us to have an early morning session so we had a productive day. I would definitely love to do this again! read more

Booked a yoga session for a bachelorette weekend in Charleston. The whole process from start to finish- including communication with Melora via email and having the option for venmo to do the payments- everything was super easy and convenient. Chose Waterfront Park because we wanted to be near the beach but didn't want to be on the sand. This was the perfect place. We were on grass, right next to the water, with palm trees and other beautiful trees all around us. Our instructor Destiny was so amazing. We had several injuries in our group and she was able to modify the class for us. During the class she even incorporated some bachelorette / friendship/ wedding themes into the guided practice which made us all tear up a little! It was such a great/positive experience. Would 10/10 recommend! read more

We had an AMAZING bridal beach session with Melora! This company had great communication and awesome vibes from start to finish. Every single person felt so relaxed and amazing afterward. My favorite things about the session was hearing the calming beach waves, the little massages here and there, and at one point, the eucalyptus lavender towel on our heads to soak all the stress away! This relaxing session was exactly what we needed to start our trip strong! Even if you are not a big yoga person, please give them a try and see for yourself!! Thank you for everything Melora!!! :) read more

We used serenity tree yoga for a private yoga class at my sisters bachelorette weekend this spring. The weather did not cooperate and we ended up having the session and doors but it was still completely enjoyable. The studio was communicative and easy to talk to you throughout the whole process and made everything very clear and simple. The yoga class was absolutely perfect and the instructor, Lauren, was so lovely and brought my sister a yoga bride tank top in addition to tea and other nice little gifts and even brought a little gift for me for booking the session. It was also reasonably priced and even the girls who hadn't done much yoga before really enjoyed it. My sister was so happy after and it was absolutely a highlight of our trip. I couldn't recommend this more! read more

Melora guided us through our beach yoga journey for a bachelorette party of 5 girls. It was just what we all needed. It was relaxing the perfect start to our day. We all appreciated stretching and taking the time to enjoy the class with waves in the background. Communication was also great before, during and after! Would highly recommend this activity if you are in the Charleston area!! read more

See all

Awesome doing yoga on the beach. Highly recommend.. Maura was an absolutely wonderful instructor.

We had an AWESOME private class with Lauren in Charleston to celebrate a yogi-loving bride. Lauren's class was perfect for all skill levels and even included options for 2 pregnant women in our group. Lauren was super helpful even when it had rained the night before and we needed to relocate our group to a gazebo in battery park from the pineapple fountain. Ending with the cold towels was definitely the icing on the cake :) The entire booking process with the serenity tree yoga team was also super seamless and very easy to do! I would absolutely recommend this team to anyone looking for a private yoga session - couldn't be more perfect for bachelorettes! read more

We did a private lesson the the beach for a girls trip. It was perfect. The instructor was awesome. The location was amazing. I would 100% say this is a must for anyone going to Charleston. It's a great way to start off your vacation. read more

We had a great private class with STY! As background, I had my own bachelorette party in Isle of Palms in 2017. My friends coordinated a private yoga class on the beach through STY and we loved it! Fast forward two years, and as I was planning a bachelorette party for my friend in Kiawah, I knew we wanted to use STY again. Shayna was a great instructor - accommodated our group, helped us through poses, took lots of pictures, and never had us feel rushed. I would absolutely recommend a private STY class for other bachelorette party groups! read more

I reached out to Serenity Tree Yoga to inquire about bachelorette sessions for our group. Melora was super responsive and helpful in setting up the session for me, and Lauren did a wonderful job as our instructor from contacting me ahead of time to confirm details and providing last-minute prep tips, to leading the session at Waterfront Park! It felt so special to have a private session and was an awesome experience to close out the weekend. Thanks for all your attention to detail and for making this such a special time! read more

I booked STY on Folly Beach for my best friend's bachelorette. It was by far the highlight of our weekend in Charleston. We had a group of 7 girls and we did a sunset yoga class which was very relaxing, peaceful and an awesome way to end the bachelorette trip. We had Shayna as our instructor and she was funny and fabulous. She was very light-hearted and made us all feel comfortable. We all had an amazing time and so glad we found STY! Would highly recommend! read more

I booked a yoga class with Serenity Tree yoga at Folly Beach for my soon to be sister in law's bachelorette. This class was the highlight of the trip. Lauren was our instructor and she was AMAZING. She was so nice, communicative and knowledgeable.. you could tell that she knew a lot about a lot. She taught a group of 8 of us and one of the girls was pregnant and she knew the exact adjustments and what would be most comfortable for her. She took some great pictures during the class without any of us asking her too. AND she even gave us a ride to lunch afterwards. I can't say enough nice things about Lauren and the class. I hope to come back and take another class with Serenity Tree Yoga soon!!! Thanks Lauren!!! read more

We brought a group of high school students to Charleston for a week of experiential learning. Because several are athletes who need to sustain a high level of physical conditioning, we tried to build into our trip many opportunities for exercise. Plus, we stayed in the Isle of Palms and who wouldn't want to use the beach for fitness? Serenity Tree connected us to Katie and she came to the house two mornings to lead a group class. She was flexible, friendly, organized, and sensitive to our specific needs. The sessions were a great success. The participants began their day energized after an hour with her. I recommend Serenity Tree to anyone who wants to add a restful, satisfying physical component to visiting Charleston. We loved it and will do it again next time. Thanks, Katie! read more

What a great experience! We loved every second of our beach yoga session, these girls are the BEST! They made the bride feel so special and so important! We would 100% rebook if we were in the Charleston area again! read more

We booked a yoga class for my friends bachelorette party in Charleston. Lauren was amazing. She came right to our air bnb and set up on the beach. It was absolutely perfect. She checked in with each one of us and asked what we'd like to work on. The bride and the rest of us agreed it was the best yoga class we've ever taken and the most zen we've ever been! read more

Shayna was the best! We were visiting Folly Beach for a postponed bachelorette party last September and both Shayna and Serenity Tree were super responsive, covid safe, easygoing, and ultimately, made the trip that much better! The sweet gift for the bride was a nice touch, and I would absolutely book again! read more

We had a bachelorette party beach yoga session on Sullivan's island with Katie B in May and it was perfect. The group was all levels and Katie adapted the practice to make everyone feel comfortable. The team was easy to communicate with beforehand and made planning a breeze. Katie even gave us gifts at the end of our session. Would definitely recommend! read more

Booked a beach yoga session for a relaxed bachelorette weekend on Kiawah, and it was a PERFECT activity. Shayna showed up on time and with lots of great energy, and was helpful and reassuring throughout (especially those who were newer and more unfamiliar with yoga). The best part was her gentle adjustments and massage at certain points, and wet towels to help cool us down! I'd highly recommend this for a bachelorette party as we were all in a great mood afterward, and it resulted in some wonderful photos :) read more

[Review is for drop-in, beach yoga] My friend and I were vacationing in Charleston, and I had the itch to do yoga (sometimes ya need to stretch... a lot). I came across Serenity Tree Yoga online, discovering there's drop-in, community beach yoga. I emailed Melora with questions, and she responded promptly with details. We decided to check it out on Folly Beach the next morning. To keep updated on the beach yoga schedule and where to go, check out facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/SerenityTreeYoga Melora is extremely friendly, and beach yoga is a calm and relaxing experience. About 15 people attended this donation based class. Also, Melora kindly let us borrow her yoga mats. I was so thankful to get a nice yoga recharge in after a week of traveling. Recommend to anyone in the Charleston area- great local activity! read more

My friends surprised me with a private yoga class from Serenity Tree Yoga on my bachelorette trip. Shayna (sp?) was amazing, she came and taught the class right in the backyard. It was just the right amount of working out but also really enjoyable and relaxing, a great way to start off the weekend. She gave little massages to everyone, despite our sweatiness, and had cold compresses for shavasana that were amazing. And as the bride I was given a little gift of essential oils, teas, etc, it was so nice! I highly recommend doing a class with Serenity Tree You for a bachelorette trip, or even just for a fun event with friends. read more

Loved our rainy day session with Savannah! She came to the AirBNB and led our session on the balcony with the rain as a soundtrack. It was so nice and relaxing read more

I am a regular at Melora's beach yoga class on Folly and recommend it to everyone! From the first class I took with her, that was it. Melora's class is the only one I go to. I can't say nice enough things about her and her teaching style. I felt immediately at ease with her. I am no yogi by any means, just a forever-beginner, yoga enthusiast. I enjoy the release and relaxation. Her beach class is open level and perfect for someone like me, but if you are more experienced and want to practice in a more advanced way, that is welcome too! I have brought friends who practice yoga regularly, and I have brought my mom who only does the occasional yoga class with me. Everyone always enjoys the class :) Because I am obsessed with Melora's beach class, I booked her for a private beach session with some of my girlfriends for a bachelorette party. My friends and I all had an amazing time, no surprises there :) Melora even brought goodies for the bride-to-be, which was so thoughtful. My only problem is that I don't make it to all of her classes! So yes, you want to go to Melora's class. And yes, you want to book Melora for your next private yoga session, group or solo. read more
