Charleston, SC – Starlight Yoga is set to return to Charleston County Parks this summer, inviting Lowcountry residents to practice yoga under the stars. This initiative offers evening classes on select nights throughout the year and is designed to cater to participants of all abilities and fitness levels.

The upcoming Starlight Yoga sessions will take place on four specific dates: July 10, from 7:30-8:30 p.m. at Folly Beach County Park; September 11, from 7:30-8:30 p.m. at Mount Pleasant Pier; October 16, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Wannamaker County Park; and November 10, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at James Island County Park. Sessions will be conducted by local instructor Tashi, who is known for her commitment to accessibility and inclusivity in yoga.

Participants can register online through the Charleston County Parks’ website. The cost is $12 per person per session for online registration. On-site registration is also available for $14 per person, provided there is available space.

Tashi, the instructor for these yoga classes, has a background in teaching yoga in the Charleston area for over three years. She holds a 200-hour registered yoga teacher training certification and has a bachelor’s degree in Sociology. Her classes emphasize activism and work to make yoga accessible for everyone, regardless of their experience level.

Each Starlight Yoga session promises a unique atmosphere, blending the calming effects of yoga with the beauty of the night sky, enhanced by the presence of the moon and stars. Participants will also receive a special glow-in-the-dark prize, making the experience even more memorable.

This initiative reflects Charleston County Parks’ ongoing commitment to providing diverse programming that fosters community wellness and engagement. Starlight Yoga aims to create a relaxing and enjoyable environment where both beginners and experienced yogis can come together to practice and celebrate their wellness journey under the celestial backdrop.

In recent years, outdoor activities like yoga have gained popularity as they provide not only health benefits but also connect people with nature. Yoga, in particular, is known to improve flexibility, build strength, and promote mental well-being through mindfulness practices.

As an additional response to the community’s diverse needs, Starlight Yoga sessions reaffirm the importance of inclusivity in fitness. Participants are encouraged to bring their own yoga mats and water bottles to enhance their experience, though all levels of yoga practitioners are welcome. Many people are drawn to the serene ambiance created by practicing yoga outdoors, and the Starlight Yoga sessions aim to deliver that cherished experience.

Overall, the return of Starlight Yoga to Charleston’s parks is anticipated to draw a broad range of participants, from seasoned yoga practitioners looking to deepen their practice to newcomers eager to experience the benefits of yoga in a supportive, enchanting setting.

For those interested in participating, early registration is encouraged due to limited space, especially given the growing popularity of outdoor yoga classes. The blending of community, health, and the tranquil beauty of nature creates an appealing environment for all involved.
