Here’s what they say about the class leader: Alex Rogers, E-RYT 500 + YACEP, is grateful to be the daughter of a Yogi. The Charleston, SC native grew up watching her mom practice sun salutations (Surya Namaskaaram) every morning and legs-up-the-wall (Vipareeta Karani) at the end of each day. By 2003, Alex was undoubtedly a Yogi too. She began teaching in 2006 and completed both her 200-hour training and advanced 300-hour certification through Holy Cow Yoga Center, Charleston's longest-running yoga studio and school. Alex has led retreats, workshops and teacher trainings in addition to studying across the country with numerous international teachers, among her favorites being Erich Schiffmann, Seane Corn, Kathryn Budig, Faith Hunter, Stacey Millner-Collins, Jason Crandell, Doug Keller, and Gabriel Halpern. Yoga helps Alex be a better Mom, Wife, and Realtor®, and she sees Yoga and Meditation as powerful tools to connect to our truest selves and bring more Light into the world.

Here’s what they say about the class leader, Tashi:  "A Massachusetts native, Tashi moved to South Carolina in 2017. She holds a 200 hour registered yoga teacher training certification and has been teaching yoga consistently throughout the Charleston area for 3 years. With a bachelor’s degree in Sociology, activism and accessibility play a big role in what Yoga means to her. Authenticity also fuels her yoga practice, both as a student and a teacher alike. She shares and celebrates her humanness in hopes that you will find comfort in your own. Off the mat, you can find her training on aerial silks or snuggled up on the couch watching Survivor.."
