I'm new to town and Shanti is the second yoga studio I have tried as I look for a new yoga home. Today's class with Sissy was relaxing and I enjoyed the small size of the studio and the practice of each row facing the other. I am used to hot vinyasa flow classes so this was a nice change. The asanas were familiar, while the type of nostril breathing she had us do to begin class was new to me. Plenty of blocks and bolsters to choose from. I enjoyed my time in this welcoming, lower frill studio. read more

Very welcoming and it was great class. We were visiting MB. Would definitely go again.

This is a top notch studio. No pressure to do something you don't feel comfortable with. Instructors will work with you or leave you be. They want you to be comfortable above all else and it shines through when you visit this studio. keep up the good work ladies read more

Sissy is an incredibly knowledgeable instructor and Shanti Yoga is a very relaxing, clean and beautiful space. Being a first time student, the check in process was incredibly easy and I was able to find the studio through the mind body app. I highly recommend this studio and Sissy's class to anyone of any level looking for a challenging yet authentic experience. read more

In town for vaycay and my yidea of a good time is to take yoga classes from other teachers. I didn't want to cut in on family time so i was looking for an early class. This joint has 6am-ers and they worked like a charm. Dawn runs a fun, challanging vinyasa class. I'm from the Philadelphia area so it was interesting noticing the differences in South Carolina- yoga included. It's muggy in SC. Even though the 6am class is not a hot yoga class, bring a towel. Muggy air outside = hella muggy down dogs. My favorite part about taking yoga classes in the South is that people linger after class. I'm usually the very last person to leave back home because I use every prop known to man. But here? People do the same- they put their stuff away, chit chat and then hang around some more. Nice little place. read more

When I travel I love to seek out a local yoga studio. Shanti yoga studio was only a mile from where my family was staying. As a bonus, the 6am class allowed me an hour long Vinyasa Practice while my family slept. This is an absolutely beautiful studio! Everything from the colors, to the lighting, to the layout is perfection. It's one of the only yoga studios I've practiced in where every yogi has wall space available to him/her. Wonderful! Dawn, the owner and instructor of the Vinyasa classes I attended, is fantastic! She's a focused instructor, gives great cues and offers plenty of modifications. She's a natural. The yogis here seem to know each other and even greet one another with hugs. (WHAT? dc yogi's take note!!!!). The regulars are very welcoming of new faces. At each of the classes I attended, at least one person took the time to introduce themselves and chat before or after class. If I lived in myrtle beach, I would be devoted 100% to this studio! I can't wait to come back! Ps. I'm a Virginian so I am familiar with humidity but wow, my first class in SC was a wake up call! Bring a towel, a water bottle and a headband for sure! (and I didn't even take the hot vinyasa class!) read more

Had a wonderful class! Definitely some advanced practitioners-- I'm not a newb but I was still a little intimidated. Instructor did a great job of offering options for all levels. Hot class was warm, not uncomfortable. Highly recommend! read more

Perfect spot to get your yoga on while vacationing. Don't judge a book by its cover. Although its located in an abandoned strip mall, the inside is super zen and cozy. The owner is so sweet and very informative. Get there early, the place fills up fast. read more

This is a great place to grow your practice. Dawns classes incorporate all aspects of yoga and the classes I have attended have generated a wonderful energy. You will walk out feeling much better than when you arrived - for sure. Dawn is a wonderful instructor who truly loves and lives her craft. read more

Wanted to say thank you especially to Elizabeth and Jess for putting up with me and tolerating my yoga ignorance. Very welcoming would recommend to anyone/everyone !! Thank you so much read more

Great place to experience yoga as more than an 'exercise' class. The instructors have trained under Dharma Mittra which is fantastic for teaching one about meditation, letting the ego go and embracing who you are right now. Will definitely return on my next trip to Myrtle Beach. read more

Took the 9:30 am vinyasa this morning. I failed to introduce myself or catch the teachers name but it was with Dawn, I believe. It was amazing. Great pace. Great price. Perfect class size. Space is intimate and well equipped for all your yoga propping needs. I was even given a welcome tour by the teacher. This was no less than exactly what I needed! Thank you and I will be back. read more

Dawn is an incredibly knowledgable and caring instructor. She adjusted my poses several times throughout class and offered multiple variations for the diverse levels of students. The next time I'm in town I'll be returning to this studio. Thank you. read more

I visited Shanti studio while on vacation in Myrtle Beach, and I will definitely be back when we return! Olga taught a WONDERFUL 9:30 a.m. class that really challenged me. This was probably the best and most physically challenging class I've taken. It leaned towards an advanced class, but Olga gave instruction for modifications and reminded us that we are where we're supposed to be in a pose. She was very encouraging to us. The studio is a perfect size -- not too big and not too small. Everyone had enough space for inversions against the wall. The studio is clean, and the boutique sold interesting items that I'm glad I was able to purchase. I wish I would've scheduled more time in my visit to Myrtle Beach that would have allowed me to visit the studio more than once. Now I know. It was a wonderful way to start the day, and I can't wait to visit again. read more

Was in town looking for a Yoga Studio, reviewed a few decided to give Shanti a try very convenient location for both Nurth and South Myrtle Beach. Very cool studio , the staff was awesome, Dawn instructed a Super Vinyasa class, hightly recommend if your looking for yoga in Mytrke Beach(: read more

I've lived in several cities and always loved yoga, but Shanti is by far the best. The poses are held longer than most studios, so yogis get more progress out of them. Dawn is fantastic, very helpful, knowledgable, and caring. I've made a ton of progress since being at Shanti and love love it! read more

Good workout but the "all levels" class was quite advanced. Instructor was hard to follow at times, guess it helps to be a regular . Glad I did not bring my niece as she would have been lost. Way too hot, and I couldn't believe how loud and chatty people were before class. So rude. And cash only after all these years? read more

Let me share with you my experience at Shanti: My dad is terminally ill & was dying during yoga teacher training (200) in the spring of 2018, & I took off one weekend to stay by his side. Then I had an ovarian cyst rupture and nearly died (I had to receive a blood transfusion and emergency surgery to save my life, this was in May 2018). Dawn was inconsiderate of these circumstances that were 1) out of my control and 2) legitimate excuses to miss two weekends. She just said that I "didn't show up" and that it "was not possible" for me to make up my lost time. She also behaved inappropriately towards another girl in training and acted like it was an appropriate part of YTT, although none of the 300 or so yoga teachers I've ever met have behaved with such insolence. It was the ugliest thing I've ever experienced from someone who proclaims to be a yogini, as she publicly humiliated this woman and never apologized. I have seen and personally experienced Dawn falling into the ego trap during her years of meditation & practice, & the way she's behaved as a business owner indicates she has forgotten that karma exists. Dawn always says that "yoga is not about the poses" but I caught her taking a picture of me in a difficult back-bending pose once, (I did not say this was okay) and I am still bewildered as to why she did it. I used to really like Dawn, and I trusted that she was going to be fair given my unfortunate circumstances. I practiced everyday between 4-6 AM for the duration of my enrollment, except for 3 days. Once I was about 3.5 months in, I made up for lost time by doing 30-90 minutes extra at lunch and/or before bed. According to my notes I did over 200 hours of practice and study before my cyst ruptured and nearly killed me. I no longer promote her studio to the extent I once did. I do not think you should practice at this studio because from my experience, you'd be supporting a fraudulent businesswoman, who has touted on Facebook that she hit the "one million dollar mark". I honestly believe the reason why she struggles with serious health problems is because the universe Is giving to her what she has given other people, and in retrospect, that's the best lesson I ever learned from her teachings. read more

We are visiting the area from Denver, Colorado and looking for a place to practice. We decided to try Shanti based on all of the excellent online reviews and it was amazing! It's everything you would expect from a true yoga class and more. Dawn was a terrific teacher! Thank you for helping us feel like a million bucks today. read more

I was visiting from out of town and had the chance to attend Dawn's class. She's an amazing teacher. The flow was really fun and Dawn gave me a couple of really useful tips. Great studio! read more
