Come for the Sweat. Stay for the Community.

International Day of Yoga is coming up on June 21 ✨💚
At CPY, yoga is more than movement — it’s a way to connect back to yourself, your breath, and your community.
This practice shows up differently for everyone: sometimes it’s strength, sometimes it’s stillness, sometimes it’s just making it to your mat. And all of it counts.
Come flow with us this week and weekend, move with intention, and celebrate what yoga means to you 💚
Technique Tuesday: Locust Pose 🦗💚
This week, Christa is breaking down Locust Pose—a powerful back-strengthening posture that helps build stability, improve posture, and strengthens the entire backside of the body.
✨ Key cues:
✔ Lift from the muscles on the backside of your body, not your low back
✔ Pull your shoulder blades into your upper spine
✔ Lift your triceps toward the ceiling
✔ Gaze down and keep the back of your neck long
Remember: Locust isn't about lifting the highest—it's about creating length and strength through your entire body. Think long and strong rather than high and hard. 💚
⭐ Options:
• Keep your legs on the floor for back sensitivity
• Separate your feet or keep them together
• Explore different hand and arm variations
Have questions about your Locust Pose? Flag down a teacher in class—we're always happy to help!

It is with both gratitude and sadness that we announce that Sellayel will be moving to California at the beginning of August.
Over the years, Sellayel has been an incredible part of the Charleston Power Yoga community. She has shared her energy, wisdom, encouragement, and love of yoga with so many students, helping make our studio the special place it is today. Her presence on the teaching team will be deeply missed.
Before she heads to the West Coast, be sure to join her for one of her final classes:
✨ Tuesday, June 16 @ 12:15 PM
✨ Wednesday, June 17 @ 8:30 AM
✨ Thursday, June 18 @ 12:15 PM
Let's fill the room, celebrate her, and show our appreciation for all she has given to Charleston Power Yoga. 💚
Please join us in wishing Sellayel and Ryan the very best as they begin this exciting new chapter in California. We know amazing things are ahead for them, and while we're going to miss them tremendously, they'll always be a part of the CPY family.

One of the greatest compliments we can receive is hearing that someone feels both challenged and supported in their practice. 💚
At Charleston Power Yoga, we believe you don't have to choose between a powerful workout and a welcoming community. Our goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, be challenged to grow, and leave stronger than when you arrived.
Thank you Amanda for trusting us with your practice. It's an honor to be part of your journey.
Ready to experience it for yourself? We'd love to welcome you to class. 💚

Wellness Wednesday 💚✨
Men’s Health Month
At CPY, we’re proud to see so many men showing up for their practice — and proving every day that yoga isn’t just for one type of body or one type of athlete.
Yoga supports strength, mobility, recovery, and mental clarity — all essential parts of men’s health and long-term performance.
Whether you’re lifting, running, training, or just looking to move and feel better, yoga fits right into your routine 💪💚
This month is a reminder that taking care of your body and mind is strength — not a break from it.
We’ll see you on the mat ✨
Technique Tuesday: Airplane Pose ✈️💚
This week, Maddie is breaking down Airplane Pose, a powerful balancing posture that builds focus, stability, strength, and body awareness.
✨ Alignment Reminders:
✔ Press the big toe mound of your standing foot firmly into the mat
✔ Keep action in both legs
✔ Reach your arms back with your palms facing down
✔ Wrap your shoulder blades onto your back and lift your chest forward like Locust Pose
✔ Keep your gaze steady on one point
Think: long lines, steady breath, and controlled strength—not speed or height.
If you wobble, that's part of the practice. Balance isn't about being perfectly still; it's about finding your center again and again. 💚
What pose would you like us to break down next? 👇
