💡 I'm new to yoga. Where should I start?

At Greenville Yoga, we love welcoming beginners or anyone looking for something “more.” We understand that yoga can feel intimidating at first, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our seasoned teachers are experienced in working with all levels and will guide you safely through your practice.

You can start with any class — truly. Each teacher offers options and modifications, and our community is incredibly warm and welcoming.

We recommend purchasing our $20 New Student Pass, which lets you try multiple classes to find the best fit for your needs and schedule. Learn more on our New Student page.

🧘‍♀️ What classes are best for beginners?

While you can join any class on our schedule, we especially recommend:

• Beginner’s Mind Yoga (Mon/Wed/Fri at 11am) — a gentle, supportive class designed with beginners in mind. Jill will help you feel at ease, even if it’s your very first class.

• Any Level 1 & 2 or Restorative class — check our Class Descriptions for details.

🎒 What should I bring to class?

• A yoga mat (we have extras if you don’t own one)

• A water bottle

• Optional: towel or layers for comfort

👚 What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. Think athletic wear, leggings, or joggers. No shoes are needed — we practice barefoot. Grip socks are okay too. Please come as you are - no fancy clothes required.

📅 Do I need to sign up in advance?

Walk-ins are welcome, but we recommend signing up online to reserve your spot — especially for smaller classes like Tai Chi or our more popular class times. View our class schedule and sign up here.

⏰ What time should I arrive?

Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to check in and settle in. If it’s your first visit, this extra time allows us to welcome you and show you around. Doors are locked five minutes after class begins.

🤸 I’m not flexible — can I still do yoga?

Absolutely! Yoga is not about flexibility — it’s about awareness, breath, and connection. Flexibility comes over time, but it’s not a prerequisite. You’re welcome exactly as you are.

🌡️ Are your classes heated?

Our classes are held at a comfortable room temperature. On nice days, our doors are open to our garden out back so we can enjoy windchimes and birdsong. We do not offer hot yoga, but we do have heated floors which keep us nice and cozy in the winter.

📍 Where are you located, and where do I park?

We are located at 3221 Old Buncombe Road in the Sans Souci neighborhood. Think close to Swamp Rabbit Grocery.

Parking: Free parking is available in front of our building. Overflow parking is available at Sans Souci Church.

🚿 Do you have showers or changing rooms?

We have restrooms where you can change clothes if needed, but we do not have showers on site.

🙋‍♀️ Do you offer private sessions for individuals or small groups?

Yes! Our teachers offer private sessions tailored to your goals and experience level. Rates range from $75–$150/hour, depending on the teacher and the scope of your work.

If you’d like help getting started, please email Blake (email below), and she’ll match you with the right teacher.

👶 Do you offer prenatal yoga, chair yoga, or tai chi?

• Prenatal Yoga: Fridays at 9:30am in-studio. All our teachers are trained in prenatal yoga and most of us practices & taught yoga through our pregnancies. We can modify any class for you — just let us know how far along you are before class.

• Chair Yoga: We no longer offer Chair Yoga.

• Tai Chi: Thursdays at 5:00pm. Class is capped at 15 students, so please reserve in advance. Private Tai Chi sessions are also available with Amanda.

🧘‍♂️ Do you offer yoga for corporate groups or in-office sessions?

Yes! We’ve led corporate classes for companies like Denny’s, Adidas, NAI Furman, Canal Insurance, and Microsoft.

We can come to your office or offer virtual sessions. Corporate classes range from $100–$150, depending on group size and travel time. We can also bring up to 10 mats if needed.

Please email Blake (email below) to coordinate a session for your team.

📣 I just finished my YTT — are you hiring teachers?

Thank you so much for your interest! We currently have a full staff, but occasionally we add substitute teachers or open up new time slots. Here's how to be considered:

1. Join us for classes regularly to see if the studio is a good fit for your style.

2. Introduce yourself to our teachers (especially Liz, who handles hiring).

3. If we feel aligned, we’ll invite you to join our sub list.

4. Sub requests are sent via app — you only respond if you're available.

5. If a spot opens and you're a good fit for that time / style, Liz will reach out to you first.

We value relationships and community, and we’re always looking for teachers who feel truly connected to our philosophy and our space.

🧘‍♀️ I’m a yoga or wellness teacher — can I offer a workshop at your studio?

We love collaborating with creative and intentional teachers. While we keep our workshop calendar focused to prioritize our in-house teachers, we do rent our space to like-minded professionals for events and workshops.

If you're interested, please email Blake (email below) for details and availability.
