Founded in 2005 by Jeffrey Cohen, the studio grew out of years of study within the Jivamukti Yoga tradition, a method founded by Sharon Gannon and David Life that integrates physical practice with philosophy, music, devotion, and activism. Cohen’s journey began in New York City, where he immersed himself in this lineage before bringing its spirit to Charleston. The studio’s approach is deeply informed by this method, honoring yoga as a path of compassion, awareness, and disciplined practice. Influences from teachers such as Shyamdas, Jayashree, and Narasimhan continue to shape the philosophical and sonic life of the space, with a focus on sacred music, mantra, and ancient yogic texts. Beyond in-studio classes, the studio offers an On-Demand Library of recorded classes that follow the same structure as in-person sessions, allowing students to maintain continuity in their practice while traveling or at home. Private sessions are also available for those seeking more direct assistance with their postures.

The studio sits on Ben Sawyer Blvd, just a short distance from Mount Pleasant Fire Department Station 1 and near the Sea Island Hamlet and Avian Park neighborhoods. This location places the studio in a quiet area of Mt Pleasant, providing a dedicated space for daily practice and community gathering.
