Themes: Letting Go, Clarity, Compassion, Quiet

As the leaves change and the days grow shorter, we turn our attention inward, preparing for the quiet shift into autumn. Meet autumn on your mat with a gentle practice that honors the beauty of the season with quiet introspection.

20 years ago, this studio opened its doors—and began changing lives, one breath at a time. If this space has ever held you, moved you, or shaped your path, we’d be honored to gather with you—not just to celebrate, but to co-create what comes next.

Our Purpose in Gathering: Joyfully celebrate the community of Greenville Yoga including its teachers, students and our journey over the last 20 years… and maybe include a little magic too.

Join Anaya Crow, a new friend and teacher, for her first workshop at Greenville Yoga. Uncover the Power of Your Voice. No Experience Needed. Ready to feel more calm, balanced, and connected? In this gentle and supportive session, you’ll explore simple vocal toning, easy mantras, breathwork, and intentional sound to help you relax, release stress, and feel more at home in your body.

Take a break from self-criticism and join us for a lighthearted yet powerful afternoon of loving kindness for yourself. Our time together will include meditation, all levels gentle yoga, journaling, movement with music, and rest.  All women with all ability levels welcome.

Low back pain? SI joint pain? What’s the difference, and does it matter? This workshop with Jill begins with a bit of anatomy and a gentle short flow to determine exactly where your back hurts (it can be hard to tell!). She’ll then guide you through an exploration of shapes and movements to release tension, find ease, and learn what helps your back feel better. Handouts will be given, and there is time for note-taking, questions. and sharing. 

Class is in-person and limited to 12. 

Join Liz for a slightly longer class dedicated to discovering inner ease and freedom. We’ll begin with grounding Yin poses, giving ourselves time to get still and quiet—tuning into the peaceful nature within. From there, we’ll transition into a different type of flow (suitable for everyone) to help release any remaining tension or feelings of stagnation. With body and mind open, we’ll move into a guided meditation and visualization—a space to imagine a world where everyone belongs. The class will close with an extended, nourishing savasana.

Sliding scale available. Suggested donation: $15.

Please note there will be no Moon Circle this month. If you have already paid, we will refund your card on file. You're invited to join us for a new moon circle, led by Sonci. The moon is a powerful and beautiful teacher. This offering includes Yoga Nidra (restful meditation), intention creation, and time for connection. Each circle is unique and has a special theme that we will explore together. All are welcome, no prior knowledge or experience necessary. Please dress cozy, come with an open heart, and a journal (optional). When we gather, magic happens!

Class size limited to 16 participants. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged. Due to the advanced preparation and supplies needed for this class, we will turn students away at the door if we are at capacity.

A 4-Week Series with Deb Honore

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not flexible,” or “I’m not sure I’m doing it right,” you’re not alone—and you’re exactly who this series is for.

Foundations of Yoga is a welcoming, four-class journey designed for those new to yoga and for experienced students who want to return to the fundamentals and refine their practice. Join Deb as she guides you through an exploration of breathwork, foundational poses, and meditation in a supportive and accessible environment.

This is a first for Greenville Yoga and I am so excited to share with you! Writing has become a soothing balm for me over the years and now it’s your turn. Join my beautiful friend (one of my soul sisters), Kali Jaye for a virtual offering and a time to heal your story.

Welcome to a 90-minute storytelling workshop for sensitive rebels, soulful badasses, and anyone tired of living someone else’s narrative.

You’ve lived through enough. Picked up a thousand shoulds, swallowed your truth more times than you can count, edited yourself into something barely recognizable ...

... and this your permission slip to stop.

When it feels you have lost your way or your faith in humanity is dwindling, it may be time to come home to yourself.  After taking our first course, Living the Five Virtues, you may find yourself missing the spiritual community, the place to uncover, investigate and share the truth of who you are.  In our next piece of the puzzle, we invite you to delve deeper as we explore the idea that virtue is something that is living, movable; changing from moment to moment.  As we grow and change, living from a place of virtue will grow and change.  We shift from an outer authority or ethical code, to living from our inner resources that are ever changing in response to the moment at hand.

The Five Virtues 2.0 will give us time to explore your own inner knowing through meditation, yoga, readings and communal book discussion time.  Each book will invite you to cultivate your inner beliefs and bring them to life in your outer world.

FIVE spots left…

When your practice is calling you to go beyond the physical… Join us and learn how to live a life full of meaning and integrity. Witness your actions as they become more mindful and align with your beliefs. Immerse yourself in our six-month study with a group of dedicated students who are ready to delve more deeply into the principles and traditions of Yoga. This is a perfect course for anyone who wishes to soak up yogic wisdom or become an example of leadership in their field. Join us for a course that includes courageous personal reflection that allows the highest version of yourself to shine through, and your best life to emerge.

Join us for a Rain’s Garden event (weather permitting) that will bring a smile to your face! Lorraine’s sister, Jenn, owns Phoenix Fitness in Simpsonville. Each year in Rain’s honor, we raise money for Greenville Cancer Society (now known as Neighborhood Cancer Connection). This year, we are hosting the event in our garden!

This event is rain or shine! If it rains, we will move inside and open the garage doors for class. And the plant swap will be out back under the awning protected from the rain.

Spring Yin Clearing led by Hanna.

Themes: Detoxing, New Beginnings, Growth

Awaken the body and mind with a spring yin yoga offering that focuses on new beginnings, detoxification, and growth. 

In this class, we will explore a series of passive poses to release tension and create space in the body. Poses are targeted to stimulate the liver and gallbladder meridians and are held for longer periods of time for deep relaxation.

This sequence taps into the abundant arrival of spring, grounding body and mind, moving stagnant energy, and cultivating a sense of renewal. Immerse yourself in the feeling of letting go and preparing to bloom!

The Essential Breath 

The breath is the essential link between the body and the mind. The quality of breath reflects the quality of mind.This retreat will focus on breathwork & meditation modalities which will offer more sensitivity to prana or life force, the balancing of this energy through breath, and the movement of this energy to the heart center.

Experience a gentle yoga practice, meditation, breathwork, journaling, and a crystal bowl sound bath to complete our time together. Refreshments will be provided.

Join Liz Delaney of Greenville Yoga and Laura Messer of Yoga for the Wild for an adventure into Africa. This offering includes a talk given by Laura about her retreats in Kenya and Zimbabwe and the meaningful encounters she's had in the bush (1/18). We'll also have, a community book club and some group coaching led by Liz that might just uncover your next path (2/15)!

If you missed the first part with Laura, you can still join us in February. Grab your own copy of “Lion Tracker’s Guide to Life” by Boyd Vartry and show up with on open mind on 2/15 for some time with Liz.

Ease into the new year with a restorative yin yoga practice designed to soothe the body and mind. This gentle, slow-paced class invites you to surrender to gravity, release tension, and cultivate an inner sense of calm.

As we hold passive poses for extended periods, we will explore a deep release of the body, while fostering a profound sense of tranquility.

We will meditate on who we've become over the past year and who we hope to be. This class offers a quiet space to meet the new year with intention and peace. 

Join us at the studio or from the comfort of your home!

This class will be a perfect way to close the year and find your aim for the year to come. Liz will lead you through a gentle yoga practice to soothe the nervous system and smooth our rough edges. We will then drop into a brief meditation to clear the mind and tap into the heart. As we begin to listen to the heart, we will engage in practices Liz learned from Elizabeth Gilbert to access our inner knowing. There will be community connection time as well. (I cannot wait to share this with each of you! Liz)

Space limited to 25. This will be an in person event only. Please register in advance. If we sell out, a second date and time will be added.

Join us for a special candle lit winter solstice event to guide you into the still, quiet season of winter. In Chinese Medicine, the season of Winter is the season of the kidneys which govern our low back health, joint lubrication, fear of letting go and overall lack of trust. It is said that our kidneys house our essence energy (Jing). This essence energy guides much of our days, our energetic levels and even the emotional flavors we carry with us. Take time to move into inner quietude, notice where you are holding and learn to let go to find the nourishment held in hibernation and Wintering.

Cost: Sliding scale beginning $15 (Suggested Price $25)

Join Jamie Elmer to feel better in your body! How we move in our every day lives determines our muscular and joint health. Each time we walk, sit, stand or exercise makes us stronger or weaker, and more or less balanced. In PhysioSTRIDE™, we examine how we move, from the ground up, starting with our feet, moving through the legs and hips, the back, shoulders and neck to improve posture, alignment and function of the body.

Every year at Thanksgiving time, we invite you to slow down, take a breath and give thanks. This year will be a little different as we gather our friends from all over the world and in person in one class to be together in gratitude. Class will be led by the gentle, Jill McBurney.

Class is offered for sliding scale donations of any amount $5 and up. All donations go to support Jasmine Road, an organization near and dear to our hearts. We lead yoga for the women of Jasmine Road every Friday and we believe in their mission wholeheartedly.

Want to learn to follow the gentle rhythms of nature? How to rest and sleep without guilt or irritation? How to play when maybe you (like me) aren’t even sure what that means as an adult? Want to live your life more fully and connect with your inner knowing to live in a heartfelt way? Then join me, Liz, for a year-long gathering from the comfort of your home. Together, we can be curious, try new things, and maybe even find some joy!

Each year, we create a theme for our studio that follows the rhythms of nature. One thing I have noticed each year is how difficult it can be to “buck the system” and return to the natural order of things. This year, I am excited to offer a year-long offer dedicated to community healing. Let’s get inspired together and learn how the ripple effects of our tiny actions create powerful healing in the communities that surround us. Join us for the theme of 2024: Rest & Play.
