The Wandering Yogi Dances With the Dogs

If awesome were inches, this would be the Sears Tower.

Super Awesome News!

We're excited to announce that Marty Crocker, the Wandering Yogi, is joining the excellent teaching staff at Dancing Dogs Yoga. Marty can be found teaching and performing massage all over the Lowcountry, and now we welcome his energy and essence to Dancing Dogs Yoga. Previous owner of the Beaufort Yoga Center, Marty started his training and practice in the Ashtanga discipline. Expect a flowing class with lots of hands on adjustments and plenty of laughs. Marty prides himself on offering clients what they desire, with compassion and keen sense of what the body is telling him. Thai massage was a way for Marty to enhance posture adjustments in yoga class, so when the chance came up to study with a Thai Monk, he hopped in the car and headed for the hills. Marty offers a class that is very hands on, full of wonderful adjustments and simple instruction. We welcome Marty with open arms and anxious anticipation. His first class is Friday, March 5th at 10:15am.

Anusara Awesomeness

Join ANUSARA INSPIRED™ yoga instructor Carol Morrissey every Tuesday night from 5:30-7:00pm for Foundations of Anusara Yoga. Anusara means " to be in the flow" or "flowing with Grace". A yoga practice is much more than mere technical instruction, at the heart of the practice there must be an attitude, an intention, that fills the practice with life. Students will receive comprehensive teachings on the 5 Universal Principles of Alignment. These Principles will allow the student to create an optimal blueprint from which to expand in both body and spirit. Each class will explore all major asana groups with modifications as needed to keep each student safe. Pranayama techniques are taught to help deepen the practice- as it is the breath that makes us shine. Students should expect a class that is mindful, uplifting and challenging- one that beckons them to step into the currents of Grace.

HOT Diggity Yoga

HOT Yoga starts next week. We'll heat the room to AT LEAST 85 degrees, and as you can imagine, our vigorous yoga session at this temperature promotes profuse sweating and makes the body very warm, and therefore more flexible. You may find yourself deeper into asanas than ever before, and in a safe environment. Please bring your own mat and towel, as we will likely SWEAT... a LOT. Mats and Hot Yoga towels available for sale. Four classes: Monday and Wednesday 5:30-7:00pm and Tuesday and Thursday 8:30-9:45 am.

Hatha 4 Haiti Update

We had a great turnout for Hatha 4 Haiti, welcoming some 30 yogis and yoginis into the studio to bless our space with the positive energy of SEVA, or service. We raised over $300 for our cause, which will be sent to the American Red Cross this week. Practicing with the intention of Hope, Help and Healing for Haiti, these wonderful people saluted the sun with all of their energy and vitality. I thank all of you for bringing your joy to our new space. Namaste. Thank you to all of the teachers who led salutations or sequences: Ginny Parker, Sally Moon, Livvy McIntosh. Kerry Autry, Carolyn Seabury, Amanda Hanlon and Kathy Folsom. Thank you ladies. I bow to your splendid essence! Thanks to Shoofly Kitchen for the AMAZING food, and to Carrie Carper and Adagio Creative for getting the word out!

Special congratulations to yogini Laura Kent, who was the winner of our Hatha 4 Haiti yoga mat! Laura wins a Jade or Manduka mat of her choice for her dedicated participation.
