I have been practicing at Shanti for about a year and a half and have fully felt my yoga practice shift for the better since being a part of this community and space. Sissy has a plethora of knowledge, experience, and guidance for each and every individual who steps into this space. She's nurtured a uplifting, positive, and supportive community with no judgement or abelistic perspectives. Each class offers opportunities for yogis of all levels to learn and develop their practice whether you are just getting started or have been practicing for years. Sissy has been extremely helpful in guiding my practice safely through my entire pregnancy, offering safe and helpful modifications and support as needed. I couldn't ask for a better space to practice and spend my time, the community here is unmatched and there are so many amazing students and teachers at this studio. I couldn't recommend it more!
I also have to point out that the 200 hour YTT program has been phenomenal and I would recommend it to anyone hoping to deepen their understanding of yoga asana, pranayama, history, and tradition. I'm graduating in June and would do it 100 times over if given the...

Shanti was my first studio ever, and I was a complete beginner, not even working out consistently at the time. Dawn was always kind and patient and honest with what I should and shouldn't be doing with my body. I've since had to move away from Myrtle Beach and over the years have only sought to seek out a studio and instructor that I love as much as Shanti and Dawn. The search continues. Thank you Dawn for creating this very special place and for loving and caring for your students as much as you do. You are beyond...
Read moreShanti Yoga is an incredible place. I have been going to Shanti Yoga for 5 months and I am in love with Sissy Castillo's yoga studio. Sissy is always giving her heart and soul to the community. There are workshops, guest classes, fundraisers, yoga teacher training, and more. I highly recommend taking a class. You will receive a traditional yoga practice with a modernized twist.
When you walk into Sissy's Studio, you feel as if you are stepping into a sacred & spiritual space. Beautiful decor, cleansed energy with incense, relaxing music, and positive vibes all around.
If you are a beginner to yoga or an advanced yogi this is the perfect place. You will receive support as well as a challenge in your yoga practice. I am constantly growing and deepening my practice mentally and physically. I am grateful that I have found Shanti Yoga Studio. The love, compassion, and kindness given at the studio are...
