Serenity Tree Yoga

I was in Charleston for a bachelorette party over the weekend and organized a private yoga class at Waterfront park for my friends and I. Melora was wonderful to work with and always responded promptly. She was unable to teach the class, but sent one of her staff Katie, who was amazing. Doing yoga on the waterfront can’t be beat! I highly recommend Serenity Tree Yoga.

We were a group of 8 in Charleston in town for a bachelorette. The bride loves yoga so we thought this would be perfect and boy was it! Melora was amazing, the class on the beach was perfect. The setting was breathtaking and everyone said it was the most relaxed they have felt in forever. I wish I lived in Charleston so I could go to more classes!

Melora is one of the most wonderful, kind people on this planet. She has worked with me to heal my body, my soul, and just to have fun practicing yoga in any way that works for me.
I love her drop in classes and the way they bring Folly people and visitors together, and I love recommending her for special events, bachelorette parties, etc. She teaches at Gold’s Gym, offers privates in your home or on the beach, and many other options. She’s a star!

Melora is an amazing yoga instructor. Her classes are wonderful for the newbie, experienced yogi, and everyone in between. She is encouraging but not pushy in her guidance. She comes around and gives adjustments with feather-​light touches or presses down with strength to help you get a deeper stretch. The best part of class is the relaxation with the oils. Take a beach yoga class, book a bachelorette/​wedding yoga — you won’t be disappointed!

Had the most amazing Yoga experience visiting my SIL in Folly Beach with a private session with Melora. I have practiced Kripalu for 5 years and Melora’s class was very different and taught me lots — she combines her Reiki and Yoga skills to bring together an enlightening, energetic and incredibly relaxing experience. I wish she lived in Maryland where I reside!

Melora provided the most relaxing yoga session I have ever had. I scheduled it for a friends bachelorette party and it was the absolute best way to start the day on the beach unwinding releasing negative energy. Melora was attentive to all nine of us girls and made us all relax and be in the moment.

[Review is for drop-​in, beach yoga]
My friend and I were vacationing in Charleston, and I had the itch to do yoga (sometimes ya need to stretch… a lot). I came across Serenity Tree Yoga online, discovering there’s drop-​in, community beach yoga. I emailed Melora with questions, and she responded promptly with details. We decided to check it out on Folly Beach the next morning.

Melora is extremely friendly, and beach yoga is a calm and relaxing experience. About 15 people attended this donation based class. Also, Melora kindly let us borrow her yoga mats. I was so thankful to get a nice yoga recharge in after a week of traveling. Recommend to anyone in the Charleston area– great local activity!

I reached out to Melora from NYC by email to schedule a sunrise yoga session to surprise my mom for her birthday. She was so helpful right from the beginning in discussing timing, discussing levels for each member of my family, our goals in the practice, each persons preference on corrections and essential oils, etc etc. She is a wonderful teacher and it was a very special experience for the whole family. She also took amazing photos of our practice and during the meditation at the end placed cooling washcloths over our eyes. I have taken yoga classes around the world and Melora is the BEST!

Melora led a private beach yoga session for my friends and I on my Bachelorette weekend in Isle of Palms. She has such great energy and really helped each of us to focus our mind, body, and soul throughout the session. Melora will customize her sessions to meet various experience levels and/​or handicaps. Being somewhat of a yoga novice, I have a newfound appreciation for the practice thanks to Melora. It was such a nice relaxing start to my Bachelorette weekend and such a neat experience to treat my friends too! Not to mention she designed a Yoga Bride tank for me to wear during my session!

We had an incredible time with Melora for a bachelorette private yoga session. We had such a good time we joined for her morning class as well. Melora was a great instructor and so friendly. I would highly recommend attending or scheduling a private class with Melora while in Folly Beach!

Most of the reviews currently detail the private yoga classes hut Melora also leads morning yoga on the beaches of Folly throughout the week. They are for all skill levels and donation only. That’s right, you can do an incredible beach yoga session for $ 20 or for $ 5. She leads you through a series of poses, reminding you of ways to modify them for more or less intensity. The waves and sun are incredibly soothing and bring a completely new level to your practice. And as you close in meditation, Melora places a cool cloth on your face, which is amazing. Drop in beach yoga will be your new favorite thing ever.

Melora is amazing! That’s really all I need to say and it should convince you to book time with her. I went there for my best friends bachelorette and we were all so tired and hung over on the Sunday we scheduled it with her, but we couldn’t have picked a better end to our weekend. Even the people who were hungover said they felt 1 million times better afterwards! She totally adjusted the workout for our «level» that day. Thanks Melora!

I won a free yoga session on the beach with Melora and it was so great! She was very accommodating and made the session to our needs. We had a range of people from someone who had never done yoga before and someone who is a yoga instructor herself and each one of them truly enjoyed it! It was very relaxing and we watched the sunset during the session and she took awesome pictures! The relaxation towels at the end were a great touch! I’ve also gone to one of Melora’s donation based yoga classes on the beach and it was also just as awesome! I left feeling so relaxed and ready for the day :) Highly recommend!

We were in Folly Beach for a bachelorette weekend with 10 ladies. Melora met us on the beach and had mats for everyone. Her session was perfect for our group and she worked in some of the favorite poses of the bride-​to-​be. Everyone loved the session and the hands on adjustments and cold towel at the end were welcome perks. Melora was very easy to work with and super responsive. If you are having a bachelorette weekend or any other type of getaway in the Charleston area, I highly recommend a Serenity Tree yoga session!

I had the pleasure of participating in two morning yoga sessions with Melora/​Serenity Tree Yoga in the past month. The first was part of my daughter’s bachelorette party weekend in March — and since she made the experience so wonderful we invited her back to guide a group of family members to another session at Folly Beach on the wedding day sunrise last weekend.
Melora did a fantastic job both days — bringing positive energy, warmth and a nurturing and supportive ambience to each session. All the participants were calm, relaxed and happy from beginning to end — if I lived closer to Charleston I would be a frequent patron of Serenity Tree Yoga !

I cant even begin to say how awesome Melora is!
My friends and I wanted to do something a little healthy for my bachelorette weekend to make us feel better about possibly over indulging that weekend. I googled «yoga folly beach». Serenity Tree Yoga was the first thing I clicked on and Melora responded quickly so I just went with her.(Not to mention her more than Fair pricing) When she arrived at the house on Folly that morning I felt like I had known her for years. She is just so nurturing and calm and made everyone in my group feel so comfortable and at ease! By the end of the class though I realized that she had taught me my first ever yoga class when I lived in Charleston a million years ago! It was like it was meant to be :) This was honestly the Best part of my entire bachelorette weekend. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She made it super easy, affordable and FUN. My group of girl friends is very laid back and none of us take ourselves too seriously and Melora fit rite in. I can not say enough good things about her!
Hoping to get back there for another girls weekend next year and would def hire her again. In fact at dinner that night we contemplated calling her to come again the next morning! :)
THE BEST.

Melora did a bachelorette yoga session for our group. It was the perfect way to start our weekend, and the bride-​to-​be loved it! Melora was very accommodating and flexible, and also very communicative throughout the entire process of setting up the class. The morning of, her class was so relaxing and wonderful. We loved that she catered to all of our different levels, and all of her extra touches (like the scented washcloth over our eyes, shoulder rubs, and small gift for the bride!) Her price was very reasonable as well! The bride ended up enjoying it so much that she booked Melora to do a yoga class for the wedding day, and I am looking forward to practicing with Melora again!

Absolutely lovely :)
Melora’s energy is calming, peaceful, making for a fully enjoyable yoga experience. I went to several beach yoga sessions last summer and loved it each time. Melora is attentive, positive, and flows with everyone in the class. She even had scented moist towels that she put on our eyes while in shivasana, which was very nice and soothing after doing yoga in the hot sun. I highly recommend it :)

Melora came out to teach a yoga class on the beach for a group of girls that I helped organize a bachelorette party for just last weekend. To say the girls are still singing her praises would be an understatement. Melora was wonderful in keeping me updated with any changes to schedule, and she also suggested «add on’s» that really made the perfect yoga session for the future bride to be. The price was right and the session was perfect * from what I hear, I unfortunately was sick and could not attend*
