Yoga Instructors

Emily
My classes are typically heated to around 75–78 degrees. I teach an energizing flow that begins with intentional stretching and gradually builds into strength, balance, and opportunities to explore inversions. Students can expect a supportive but challenging practice that encourages both physical growth and confidence. My slow flow classes focus on deep, mindful stretching and connecting with the body. These classes emphasize listening inward, understanding the body’s needs, and releasing deep tension through gentle movement and breath. I look forward to guiding you on your yoga journey and helping you find balance, strength, and peace both on and off the mat.

Corinne
I began my yoga journey 6 years ago in the comfort and safety of my own room with little to no knowledge of how drastically asana and breath-work would change my life and how crucial this practice would become in my day to day life. At the time I was seeking solace in things that went against my physical mental and spiritual growth and wellness- when I rolled out my first mat and put on my first yoga video to follow, I had finally come home to myself which I wasn’t aware existed, I never knew there was a home to come back to. For the first time in my life I had finally found peace and quiet within myself, a place that I can come whenever I want to feel relief from everyday stressors. Ever since, I have made it my goal to share with others around me the peace and tranquility that can be cultivated within themselves, a way to see beyond basic reality and find regained hope and excitement for life. After I concluded that this is what I want my life’s mission to be, I took Kula’s 200 hour yoga teacher training and began my journey as a forever student and teacher. Being a yoga teacher to me is an absolute honor and privilege, it gives me the ability to expand this sacred practice and show others what it’s like to return home.

Genise
Genise’s classes seek to strengthen muscles through intentional, slow movements, improve flexibility and range of motion, encourage energy flow through pranayama (breath work), and cultivate a sense of emotional balance and internal wellness.

Patricia
Patricia’s classes are primarily based on classical yoga and include Om chanting, breathing techniques, and mantras in Sanskrit. Meditative sequences with simple transitions from one asana (posture) to the next emphasize holistic well-being rather than fitness. Background music is mostly instrumental and may include Sanskrit. Merge breath with movement, body with mind, and Self with Universe.

Alisa
Alisa began her personal yoga journey over 15 years ago to reduce stress while juggling motherhood and working full-time as a professional counselor. She was reminded that going inward and connecting breath to movement is healing for the mind, body, and soul. She moved to Charleston in the summer of 2019 and completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training program in 2020. As a yoga instructor, Alisa guides students in movement that focuses on optimal alignment and breath, while building strength, balance, and flexibility. She is a previous ballet dancer and enjoys reading, surfing, traveling, and going on outdoor family adventures with her husband and two children.

Anne Marie
Anne Marie Larmon is a Charleston-area native and career educator with a passion for sharing the benefits of yoga with her community. Anne Marie first discovered yoga in 2007. Initially, it was as a workout, but she soon realized that there is so much more to yoga than just the physical aspects. Soon, she was hooked and practicing regularly. She was lucky to have been influenced by so many gifted yoga teachers over the years. After attending the Yoga Festival in Asheville in 2017, she was inspired to pursue the 200-hour instructor certification, which she completed in March of 2018. A life-long learner, she has begun earning her 500-hour certification, and as a life-long educator, she has a passion for teaching, which she brings to her classes. She will guide you through a class that will encourage you to connect with your breath and your most authentic self.

Lizzie
As a nurse and a yoga instructor I bring a deep respect for the body into every foundation class. My teaching emphasizes safe alignment, breath awareness and accessible movement creating a supportive space for students to build strength, confidence, and ease.

Natalie
I love to incorporate the natural world into my classes. You can expect to find a flow connecting breath to movement, oftentimes with a theme that relates nature or the changing seasons into the class. I appreciate a good challenge and the growth that comes with it, so I try to incorporate many different asanas into my teaching. The sequence of my class typically goes from warm-up, to a mandala-style vinyasa flow, building to a peak pose, grounding, and final relaxation in savasana. Last but not least, I take pride in curating fun, upbeat, and sometimes unexpected playlists to accompany each of my classes!

Kristine
Kristín came to the Lowcountry from NYC where she was the lead singer of a band, as well as hot yoga instructor. She found yoga quieted the chatter in her mind and helped her find peace amongst the crazy rock and roll life of NYC. As her practice developed, she found it cleared her mind of distractions, gave her the ability to focus on her craft and unleash her spirit. In 2008, Kristín started practicing Hot Yoga and soon after felt inspired to teach and share this amazing feeling she found in her yoga practice. In 2010 she became certified to teach by Jimmy Barkan. (www.thebarkanmethod.com) In 2012 and 2015 she went back to Jimmy for her Level II and III Hot Vinyasa Certification also. When she moved to SC in 2013, her practice helped her adjust to her new community and lifestyle away from the Big Apple. Her classes are geared to the individual students-mixing many genres of music and postures for each class. "Never before have I experienced such a feeling of personal satisfaction and pride. Whether you are an artist, in business, an educator, in the military, a parent or whatever your path may be, yoga can help you find focus and positive energy allowing your best self and your greatest dreams to come true. My yoga practice has changed my life."

Katie
I believe yoga is a journey back to yourself. My classes are a blend of creative, fluid movement and quiet introspection, offering plenty of space to find your physical alignment while honoring your inner rhythm. Rooted in somatic awareness, my teaching style bridges the gap between dynamic movement and nervous system regulation. With a somatic and trauma-informed approach, I prioritize safety and agency, inviting you to move in a way that feels authentic to your body. We’ll focus deeply on the breath, learning the art of surrendering to the pose rather than forcing it. Each session concludes with guided meditation to foster inward connection, leaving you feeling grounded, centered, and whole.
