OUR CLASSES
Yoloha Power & Hot Power
A fun, mixed-level vinyasa flow linking mind, body and breath with many modifications offered to amp up your practice. Class begins and ends nice and slow with a crescendo of heat-building poses in between. Whether you’re looking for a workout or to get your mind right after a long day, this class is for you. Hot power heated to 85-90 degrees.
Radiate and Meditate
This is an open level class that gives students the opportunity to explore body, breath, and mind. The class will have elements of both invigoration and relaxation; designed to leave practitioners feeling in tune and complete.
Align and Flow
Breath, foundation, alignment: this all levels class will start with grounding postures and build into a controlled warrior flow. Throughout class, cues will be given consistently to encourage your body into YOUR “perfect” form. Although this class will never be the same, as we think it is important to challenge the body in new ways, it will have repeated elements and foundational postures. If you are a beginner, this is a great class to try out and if you are an experienced practitioner, we guarantee we will find a way to challenge you.
Vin to Yin
The term “yoga” means to join, to form a union, to yolk, or to balance. All yoga is yoga and all of us need all of it. This class incorporates a little bit of everything. Vin to Yin starts with around 30-45 minutes of a yang style vinyasa flow to work all of the muscle groups, incorporate breath work, and warm the body. The remainder of the class is imposed of a yin, deep stretch, and restorative series that will get into those rigid areas of the body, and focus on the more meditative, cooling, and still side of the Asana practice. This challenging, opening, and energizing class is a well rounded way to begin your day.
Yin
This deeply meditative class targets the connective tissues of the body. Longer held poses offer deep relaxation and release of physical tension, especially in the hips and low back. Yin is a wonderful practice to balance out your busy life and is a great compliment to our more vigorous yoga classes. All levels are welcomed.
Surf Conditioning
A 45 minute class geared towards surfers and those looking to improve their cardiovascular conditioning through functional high intensity interval training. Geared for all levels, (think body weight, free weights, indo boards etc.) Perfect for after a solid surf sesh…cross training for the water if flat! Wear sneakers and bring water!
Yoloha Burn
Think muscle not momentum. This slow power flow will challenge your mind and body, while allowing you adequate time to breathe and feel into the pose. We will work towards peak poses, while building heat with muscular endurance exercises. You will leave feeling empowered and ready to take on the day!
Buti Yoga
If booty dancing and yoga had a love child; Buti yoga would be the end result. Get ready to blow off the stress of the day, shake your booty and raise your heart rate in this high intensity, core-focused, aerobic dance work out. Buti Yoga is a dynamic musically driven physical practice fused with primal movement, HIIT cardio, tribal dance and deep (DEEP!) core engagement.
Buti yoga is a WONDERFUL complementary practice to vinyasa, weight lifting, and yin practices; it’s great for new moms who are wanting to rebuild strength in their lower bellies and pelvic floors, too!
Most importantly, it’s a safe environment to connect with your feminine nature (Shakti energy) with other beautiful, powerful people! Get ready to shake it, and let those pony tails fly— bring a friend and make it a yoga date!
OUR TEACHERS
Kate Counts
200hr RYT
With a college degree in education, Kate spent half a decade of her early adult life teaching Fourth Grade. During this time, Kate’s journey with yoga began as her time on the mat became a go-to for stress release – a way to regroup and truly focus on herself. After 5 years of teaching, she moved on to become a mom to three wonderful children, using yoga during each pregnancy as a way to witness the miracle of life growing within.
Years later, Kate started teaching fitness classes and training at a local gym. Yoga continued to be a major part of her life – now as a way not only to relieve stress, but as a way to sooth sore and tired muscles.
This is when Kate decided to pursue her 200hr RYT through Gaea Yoga Center in Mt. Pleasant in 2013. Through the last couple of years Kate has gained an appreciation for anatomy and the function of yoga, mainly focusing on skeletal variation, which makes us all so unique in our own bodies!
Julie Luisi
200hr RYT
Julie was dragged to her first yoga class on the beach with her well-intended mother at the tender age of 13 and let’s just say that she wasn’t sold. Flash forward 10 years or so and Julie found a way back to her mat through hot power yoga. Despite her initial resistance, thinking yoga was just a bunch of stretching, she soon learned that it was so much more. Julie quickly fell in love with the physicality that this practice offers and, through getting on her mat more and more, experienced the transformational power that comes with moving intentionally in your own body. Yoga became the saving grace in Julie’s life. The breath, the movement, the community, it has healed her in so many ways, both physically and mentally. In 2018, she decided the greatest gift would be to share this practice with those around her and Julie became a 200 hour RYT through Charleston Power Yoga.
Christine Lentz
200hr RYT
Yoga is my anchor.
When the world is spinning around me or the waves are rough, I can come back to my mat and reconnect to the moment, to my body, to my breath and eventually find a sense of gratitude and connection. Everything else seems to fade into the background. Yoga, and all it’s wisdom allows me to remember who I am at my core, to come back to the present moment and to let go of all the “shoulds”.
Originally from Ohio, I moved to Charleston 5 years ago and absolutely love it! I have been a yoga student since 2005, and am still learning! Traveling the world with my love, cherishing a good glass of red wine, and taking a walk on the beach, are some of my favorite things.
I received my 200 hr from Gaea Yoga Center & am currently pursuing my 300 hr training from Asheville Yoga Center. My favorite styles to teach and practice include a slow power vinyasa (Hot Yoloha Burn here at the studio!) and Yin Yoga.
SARAH JONES
200 HR RYT
Sarah first stepped onto her mat in 2006 during finals week at the College of Charleston. What started as a heavy, anything-but-flexible method for dealing with stress and anxiety, soon became a graceful, go-with-the-flow way of life – especially after she was introduced to the styles of Baron Baptiste. Ten years later, Sarah received her training at Charleston Power Yoga. Now, with Baptiste Power Vinyasa at her foundation, Sarah enjoys instilling the benefits of yoga and mindfulness to students of all levels and can be found doing just that right here on James Island.
Katherine Johnson
200hr ryt
Kat began practicing yoga when she was 13 as a way to spend more time with her mother. But she fell in love with power yoga during her college years as a way to deal with stress and challenge herself physically. She completed her yoga teacher training at Charleston Power Yoga in 2015 after spending a few years there as an assistant. She is a firm believer in the personal power of this practice and that each yogi can create an experience that fits their unique body and self. Kat tailors her classes to offer variations and modifications so that her students can confidently choose their own journey on their mats.
Katie Beaver
200hr RYT
Katie first practiced yoga in high school when it was recommended by her tennis coach as a way to stretch and prevent injury. At the College of Charleston, while studying for her degree in Sociology, yoga remained present in her life mostly on a physical basis. But after graduating, as she started exploring life as an “adult”, she felt her yoga practice transform into something more than just a movement routine. Yoga became a way for her to find deep connection and a sense of calm within. While practicing around town at many studios she soon realized she wanted to dive deeper into her yogi path. She trusted her gut and enrolled in the 200-hour certification through the Gaea Yoga School that she completed in 2017.
Everyone has different reasons for coming to the mat and Katie enjoys guiding students of all ages and levels into their own unique experience. Katie hopes her students leave her class feeling accomplished and enlivened, both in the mind and body.
Hillary Sabbato
200hr RYT
Hillary attended her first yoga class in her living room, wearing a dance costume, following a VHS with her mother.She has come back to the practice several times throughout her life, and has always found the mat to be a refuge as well as a place of challenge and joy.Dancing since age 4, movement has always been a large part of Hillary’s life.After becoming a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, she felt there was additional work to be done and has since earned her RYT 200 hr, trained in Thai Yoga Technique, Yin Yoga, and become Reiki Level I certified.Sharing and practicing yoga has become an outlet for her creativity and a channel for providing healing to her community.She learns something from every class she teaches and truly loves being a witness to the power of the practice in all its forms. When not teaching or practicing yoga, you can find her working with clients, spending time with her love & two precious pups, or floating in the ocean.
Ally Hopper
200hr RYT
Yoga entered my life in big ways when i moved to Charleston, SC in 2014. I had no idea that yoga was going to be affect me so deeply. I had no idea that while i was falling in love with yoga, i was learning how to fall in love with myself. I became certified in 2018 and knew quickly that this was my purpose. It didn’t take much for me to say goodbye to my corporate marketing job and hello to a new path that maybe wasn’t completely clear in that very moment (anyone else out there tend to make big life decisions rather quickly?!), but it sure felt right so down this path I continued to go – finding ease in the unknown and excitement in what’s to come.
Fast forward to now, and here we are. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to train under jason crandell, janet stone, and carol morrissey, among others that i look up to as mentors. Through my teaching, I aim to create space to connect with yourself on a deep level – physically, emotionally, and mentally. A space to move, feel, and breathe into your truest and strongest form. A space to explore how yoga can change your life – on and off the mat. I am so happy you are here and can’t wait to share my yoga with you.
JENNY BROWN
200hr RYT
Jenny is the founder and main instructor at Shaka Surf School on Folly Beach.She’s an all-star surfer and a local legend.In addition to being an incredibly reassuring and encouraging force in the water, she’s been teaching yoga and pranayama for 20+ years.She routinely leads surf and yoga retreats in the Caribbean and Central America. You can catch her classes here at Yoloha and on the beach both independent of and in conjunction with surf sessions.She knows that the ocean and the earth as a whole are constantly reminding us how to fall back into rhythm, and she shares those messages beautifully.
ASHLEY ANNE
500HR RYT
AshleyAnne is a 500hr RYT, she received her 200 hr YTT from the Kripalu Yoga Center in 2012, and continued her studies finishing her 300 hr YTT from the Passion Yoga School in 2017. Her classes follow the Akhanda Yoga lineage, a traditional Indian style asana practice focusing on the energetic body. She holds space for her students to explore their primal human nature. Her classes advocate yogis to dive beyond the physical experience and connect internally with pranayama and meditation. She creates a sacred space for the community of students too feel silly, vulnerable, playful and whole. AshleyAnne specializes in stand up paddle board yoga, and prenatal yoga (85 hr YTT) Both classes offer the opportunity for her to fulfill her dharma (purpose) to empower and connect women to the nature and beauty surrounding them and within them.
Jennifer Mitchell
500HR E-RYT, 950+HR C-IAYT
I am a believer of holistic, mindful and intentional living. Whether this be a physical practice or supplement for the body, therapy for the mind or clean choices of foods and wines, it all plays a role. My journey began as a personal one, self seeking, traveling and delving into practices that fed my soul. Yoga, water therapies, authentic connections, being with family and friends and simply being human are a few of those means. I have a background in mental health, years of yoga and therapy trainings and of course my hardest and most humbling endeavor yet, being a mom. I am on staff with Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, volunteer for numerous organizations and coordinate community events. I am always in the midst of transition to finding my best self. It is there where I show up most authentically and have presence in all I do, so I strive to have compassion both for myself and others, always. In essence, I am simply BEING.

There was an amount of over $100 taken off my card today. No one has made this purchase for yoga instructions or anything to that effect from here. You need to beware of fraudulent transactions on your card. The amount that was taken off does not agree with ANY of the prices that they show for attending their classes. I am completely from another state and in no way7 would attend something that is 6 states away.read more

Y’all—— when I say professional I mean it. This team got my order, prepped it and contacting me via email that it was ready within 8 HOURS!!!!!! Lucky for them I didn’t order anything to extravagant so it was that difficult but are you kidding me?! Same day order and pick up for a custom, unique, and adorable cork mat? You can’t go wrong. Amazing quality. Hardest part for me is storage because I love to keep my yoga mats in my car and I’m nervous to for the sake of the cork and Charleston weather heating up the car. Honestly though, I’m 5 ft exactly and ordered the kids mat and it’s a perfect size. Such a unique and awesome gift idea for anyone in the fitness fieldread more

Just received the cork yoga blocks and was really impressed with the earth friendly packaging and the lovely card and cork sticker those little extra touches just really made it feel really special; like getting a gift from a friend. The blocks are just a shy bit shorter than the other one I had but over all I am really excited to use them.read more

Seems to have a good vision but they no longer manufacture their mats in the USA which contradicts their "About Us" story. When I asked where were their mats manufactured, the response was that of someone being asked a classified question; "I can't give that out but if you fill out our wholesale form" we can get a better idea of what you are wanting to do. It's a brief and short interaction. Giving them the benefit of the doubt that holistically their a solid business but first impression leaves me wanting to take my business elsewhere. Seems unintentionally deceptive and stuck to a process rather than meeting someone on the mat.read more

Visited this studio on vacation and participated in their paddle board yoga class, it was definitely an experience to remember. Wish I would have had time to catch a class in the studio! Their cork Yoga mats are my favorite. Perfect for my practice. I also LOVE their journals! Truly one of a kind products!read more

Yoloha Yoga Factory is amazing. I’m visiting for the week and have taken advantage of their visitors pass. I have already attended several classes and have enjoyed them all. Also, they offer their demo mats to use during the class. So, if you’ve left your map at home, no worries.

Yoloha Yoga Factory is a one of a kind place made for all yogis. I actually love how it is on the outskirts of Folly Beach because it feels like a sort of getaway when I go practice there. The studio is beautiful and cozy. The deck area outside has so many plants it is gorgeous. There is just a special energy at Yoloha that is unmatched with any other studio. AshleyAnne's classes are amazing and such a highlight of my week. I hope to try more classes and expand myself at Yoloha.read more

This place is the most genuine and welcoming yoga studio I’ve ever experienced and talented! It’s the most free I’ve ever felt to listen to my body and practice how I need to that without any fear of judgement. Monday evenings with Kate are my favorite, she challenges you to be your best, but I’ve never had a bad class there. I highly recommend this friendly, kind, talented, true to yoga, studio.read more

Yoloha is absolutely the best yoga studio. The instructors are top notch. They are very knowledgeable and very welcoming and inspiring. They have a wide variety of classes, and the class descriptions are right on. But even if you go the same class every week, it is always different within the parameters of the description. I look forward to going every time.read more

Went to the studio for the first time today and tried a class as well as the cork yoga mat. I will definitely be back for another class as well as to purchase the mat. This mat is incredible especially for hot yoga because the sweat is absorbed into the cork material and you aren’t sliding everywhere!read more

Wow! I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The atmosphere is so calming and I think its so neat that the warehouse where they make the cork mats is right next door to the studio. SO cool! The power vinyasa class was rewarding physically and mentally. I will definitely be back for another class very soon 🙂read more

Today was my first experience at Yoga Factory by Yoloha. I took a power class and Kat was the instructor. I loved it! She was amazing and her class was challenging to say the least. 75 minutes of pouring sweat and I can't wait to go back! Definitely suggest this place to anyone interested in cleansing, clearing, and a challenge. Thanks Kat!read more

This is by far my favorite studio in Charleston. The instructors are absolutely amazing- really well trained and professional. You can tell that the practice of yoga is lived by each and every instructor, and it's real yoga: the mental and physical aspects, not just an exercise routine. Highly recommend!read more

Yoloha is awesome! I have taken many different classes from various instructors and they are knowledgeable and incredible. The vibe at Yoloha is inspiring and I always leave feeling rejuvenated and challenged! The yoga deck is a great addition and so fun to be outside for your practice. I cannot recommend Yoloha enough!

As a competitive tennis player my knees have taken a beating which has limited my court time. Having relied on tennis as a means of staying in shape, I was getting out of shape. Yoga became part of the solution and Yoga Factory turned it up a notch by introducing cork mats to me along with offering a variety of classes designed for specific outcomes. The clean look and feel of the "Original" mat appeals to me most. The firm grip prevents slipping and the cushioning capacity is easier on my knees. I recommend rotation through all the classes for the physical, mental, and emotional benefits for which each is designed. The instructors appear to be sincerely interested in providing a quality session each time. I am pleased with my experience.read more

I decided to check this place out while visiting Charleston, and it was an amazing choice. I went to Vin to Yin, and the class was incredible. The teacher was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

When I first moved to Charleston in January I had my mind set that I would try out various studios to find one that had all I was looking for: variety of classes, knowledgable teachers, a welcoming space, and soul. After visiting Yoloha, I need not look any further. The teachers at Yoloha are so individual with their styles and offerings, and that is such a strength of a yoga studio. They have purposefully crafted classes that help members find their edge, peel back the layers of themselves, and get out of their heads. It is a safe, supported, and positive space. The other members are incredibly friendly, which adds to the charm of the studio. Yoloha has it all, and even more importantly, it has soul - and that is what creates a community.read more

I purchased the Vacation Pass while we were in town visiting family and I wish I could transport this studio back home with me 😊. I've taken two classes so far, Yoga Power and Align & Flow. Kat taught the Power class and she kicked my butt! I could feel the workout the whole rest of the day. Today I took Align & Flow, and, man, I LOVED it!

I tried Yoloha Yoga Factory based on the recommendation of a friend. They have a wonderful $30 first month New Client special, which I purchased. What a great deal! Unlimited yoga classes for one month allowed me to try a variety of classes, some of which I had never tried before, such as yin yoga. One of the best things about Yoloha is that it is a small studio, which provides an intimate feel for your practice. There are few distractions (good for a busy mind!) and it is immaculately clean. They provide plenty of props and the instructors are hands on, if you would like them to be.I think this studio is unique to the Charleston area and I would highly recommend that you give it a try.read more

This review is subject to change because I haven’t actually taken a class here yet, but I came by this morning to talk to someone about signing up not knowing what to expect, and it turns out that the front door opens right into the studio. So when people come in it interrupts whatever yoga session is going on. Embarrassing! So the instructor came out and told me that she was in the middle of a session and would be done at 8 and then basically shut the door in my face. Ok. I thought, “I’m not going to let that bother me; she is obviously teaching right now so I will come back at 8.” So I come all the way back at 8 and there is nobody here and the door is locked after I told her I would come back. I just feel like that was very rude and disrespectful of my time to not tell me she was not going to be here, and now I also have no idea how I’m supposed to sign up for these classes if every time you walk in you’re interrupting a class? Very uncomfortable, and I wonder if the classes are interrupted often? Maybe take a cue from Charleston Community Yoga and at least curtain off the studio so people can still come in and talk about memberships? Just a suggestion.read more

This is a really great studio with really dedicated instructors. I can't think of a better way to start the day off then with the challenging and meditative stretching that concludes the Vin to Yin classes that Emily teaches. The long-lasting effects of the deep stretches are a real game changer. I've also taken the power classes taught by both Celia and Katie and both instructors taught classes that surpassed my expectations and made it hard to leave class not feeling grounded and focused.read more

I attended two classes at Yoloha since its opening and they were both incredible. Both of the teachers (Emily & Celia) led very mindful, intentional classes that were just as challenging physically as they were meditative and grounding. The space was just as beautiful.

Truly a wonderful addition to James Island! The space is beautiful. Love that you have a choice of cork mat types (all hand-made by yoloha!)I like that there is a diverse offering of classes - some slower-paced and focused on breathe and alignment, some focused on holding poses, and others quicker power flows that build lots of heat. Also, all instructors teach a little differently, are very welcoming and open to feedback, and want to customize the practice to you.Would highly recommend!read more
