Park Circle Yoga will officially open its doors on Wednesday, May 1st, 2024, in the heart of North Charleston’s Park Circle neighborhood. The studio’s opening at Marquis Station (1021 E. Montague Ave., #103 North) will bring a yoga studio back to a neighborhood that hasn't had one for several years.
The studio is located within a historic Quonset Hut, dating back to 1947. In 2017, Iola Modern, Cityolve, and Middleton Group worked together to re-imagine the rusted, old hut into a sleek modern studio space. The space served as Iola Modern’s design studio until their expansion to West Montague Avenue in December of 2022.
Park Circle Yoga will offer classes seven days per week with several class times scheduled each day, all taught by a diverse group of local teachers and practitioners. Students can expect classes rooted in solar and lunar experience, which honors the essential energies of both the sun and the moon.
“While we live in one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in the entire Southeast, Park Circle has been yearning for a dedicated space for the practice of Yoga,” Studio Founder Steven Ortego said. “It is my sincere desire to make yoga accessible to our entire community which is rich in diversity. All are welcome at Park Circle Yoga Studio.”
Park Circle Yoga says they will provide access to yoga for all, regardless of age, size, gender, or identity.
“I want to take people beyond what the body can and cannot do,” said Studio Director Suzanne Goldston. “I want to take students beyond a practice that’s too fast, too hard and not properly supported. You have a body but you’re not a body. Uniting us with something beyond the body is yoga.”
Pay-per-class and monthly membership options are available via the Park Circle Studio website. The first 100 members who sign up for unlimited membership will receive 10% off their first year of membership.
Aside from the regular class schedule, Park Circle Yoga will soon offer beginner courses, workshops, camps, teacher certification and special events.
