What the classes are
Yin is the style that appears most often in this collection. The poses are held for a long time and mostly rest on the floor, which means the work is in the hips, the pelvis and the lower spine rather than in effort. Several studios also offer Yoga Nidra, a guided lying-down practice, and sound baths with gong and bowls. Together they make the calm after work feeling more about stillness than movement.
For those who want a little more movement, Yoga Daily runs Feel Good Flow, an all levels vinyasa class, and Freedom Studio offers FLOW to CALM. These sit alongside the quieter options and suit people who like to move gently before settling.
Where and when they take place
Yoga Daily in Isle of Palms has the largest number of these classes, and its listings include both in-studio and at-home versions of its Yin and Deep Stretch sessions. Garden Hill Yoga in North Central offers Yin and a Yin and Sound Bath, while Freedom Studio in Mount Pleasant has Calm and FLOW to CALM. Be Wild Yoga also has Yin and Yin with Yoga Nidra.
About ten facilitators lead the calm after work classes in Charleston, and the names most often attached to them include AA Tricia Hughey, Mackenzie Cable, Ren Salas and Ashley Sprinkle. Most classes start in the early evening, and the busiest days are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
