Shanti Yoga Studio

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.

I came in for the Vinyasa class on Sunday, but because there were a few people with some physical issues the class was an extremely slow Vinyasa combined with a good deal of Yin. This would be fine if I had signed up and paid for a Yin class, but I paid $ 15 for Vinyasa. If you can’t keep up with a Vinyasa class, you probably should just go to a different one. That being said, the teacher should also be able to accommodate you without having to change the structure of the class.

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!

The room is kept very dark & the teacher did not attempt to learn our names. No closing was provided, i. e guided cooling down postures. Instead, at the end of practice the teacher gives you three minutes to do «whatever you would like» before savasana. We did not feel that the teacher was very approachable as new students to this space-​there were postures we chose not to practice because we would likely have injured ourselves. The all levels vinyasa class also felt more like a workshop than a flowing practice. Pros were the chanting & pranayama. We got what we needed out of the asana practice, but will not return.

I have taken a lot of different classes from different places but this has been by far the best. Instructors are great at helping get you into the right position. Many different classes. My wife was in a soft cast and they are easily able to help her modify to get through the class

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!)

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!

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.
