City Yoga
Stacey Millner-Collins
Columbia, SC
803-743-9671
scollins4@sc.rr.com
Yoga is a 5,000 year old practice whereby one seeks to perceive the union with the divine Self in every breath, every moment, every activity and with every achievement. Hatha Yoga uses the body as a vessel for this "awakening." Yoga builds tremendous strength, endurance and flexibility while providing serenity and peace of mind.
For almost a decade, Stacey has been an enthusiastic and dedicated practitioner of the full tradition of Yoga. She received her initial teacher training in Classical Yoga in 1998 while living in India. She continues to enhance her knowledge by regularly studying with internationally known teachers, most notably John Friend, who developed Anusara Yoga...an invigorating asana practice epitomized by a "celebration of the heart." Stacey has also studied with Rodney Yee (Iyengar), David Life & Sharon Gannon (Jivamukti), Angela Farmer, and Shiva Rea (Vinyasa Flow). Stacey has been involved in the health/fitness industry for 13 years, is the lead instructor & choreographer for three nationally released Firm exercise videos, and currently heads the Stress Management Program for Palmetto Richland Hospital.
Stacey teaches 10 classes a week in the central Columbia, SC area. Class
times range from early morning to after work and on weekends. The classes
are 1 1/2 hours in length incorporating active asana practice, pranayama (Yogic
breathing), relaxation and meditation. Hands-on alignment is used to enhance
your practice and an eclectic blend of music will facilitate your journey.
Fundamental, multi-level, and advanced classes taught. Please call or
email for specific schedule, location or for questions. Private and
partnered sessions also available.

Body & Soul of Spartanburg
Elaine Lang RN, MS, CS - Founder
657 Hwy 221/ Chesnee Hwy
Spartanburg, SC 29303
864-253-0518
Bodynsoulsp@aol.com
A sanctuary within the bustling city of Spartanburg, Body & Soul is conveniently located less than one mile from Spartanburg Regional Medical Center and Interstate 85. Body & Soul is a peaceful refuge where yoga practitioners can enjoy an eclectic blend of Yoga honoring the spirit of Kripalu yoga and the awareness of Iyengar. Body & Soul is also the Upstate center for Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy (pryt.com), a blend of assited yoga postures and psychotherapy that can bring clarity, joy and ease to life.
The yoga studio, inside a remodeled mill house, is painted in shades of light purple and blue, reminiscent of Monet. The floors appear to be hardwood, but are a softer imitation. Background music, incense, and candles by the fireplace give a spiritual feel to yoga practice. Mats, props, and eye bags are available in the studio for class and for purchase.
Body & Soul is the creation of Elaine Lang. Elaine began practicing meditation and yoga asana in high school. After a few years as a workaholic cancer nurse, she revitalized her meditation practice. Years later, following a broken back sustained in a car accident, she came home to yoga asana. Elaine's style is gentle and flowing, her classes are sweet and enjoyable. Also teaching yoga is Jan LeFrancois, a psychology professor at Converse College, with over 5 years of experience. In the Iyengar tradition, Jan dispenses with incense and candles, simply providing you with time and space to be present in the body, as she shares her intricate knowledge of each pose. Other teachers and teachers in training at the Asheville Yoga Center may teach from time to time.
Classes are usually schedule in 4, 5 or 6 weeks sessions (though you may drop in anytime). Evening and daytime classes are available. Occassional workshops are offered by guest instructors. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, a one on one modality, is offered by appointment only. Please call or email for our current schedule.
