If you’re looking for some activity during your stay on Daufuskie Island, a yoga class could be just what you need. Located at the Melrose Fitness Center, the Daufuskie yoga space has fantastic views of the beach, ocean, and palm trees. It’s a perfect spot to relax, unwind, and tune in with your body while experiencing the beauty that this island offers.
Laura Winholt, owner of Om Cat Yoga and lead instructor on Daufuskie, is an E-RYT 500 hour registered Anusara Yoga teacher. Anusara yoga, which means “flowing with grace”, is grounded in inner and outer body alignment, and Laura has a particular focus on balanced action. She has been leading yoga classes on Daufuskie for over a decade!
Yoga classes on Daufuskie Island are currently offered at the Melrose Fitness Center twice a week; Sundays 9:30-10:30am, and Thursdays 4:30-5:30pm. The Thursday class is taught by Renee Harding, who blends a variety of yoga styles including Anusara, Kripalu, and Thai Yoga techniques. Classes are $10 when you use a pre-purchased class pass, and $13 for drop-ins. All you need to bring is your mind, body, and spirit — mats and props are set up for you ahead of time. A light treat of chocolate or fruit is provided at the end of the class. Private classes are offered upon request.
