Jivamukti Yoga Charleston
Jeffrey Cohen and Andrea Boyd know that yoga's lessons stretch far beyond the reach of the studio mat. By applying Jivamukti tenets to all aspects of their lives, these advanced certified teachers endorse continual compassion, self-awareness, and Satsang—the practice of gathering with those who inspire you. Beneath their physical teachings lie lessons on character, which promote behaviors such as humility and peaceful vegetarianism. They also demonstrate the power of generosity by holding annual "Help Send a Student to Teacher Training" fundraisers. As they strive to extend yoga's core values into their everyday lives, they and their students hope to become "agents of change in the world," an underlying goal highlighted in their 2008 Yoga Journal feature .
This holistic approach to yoga is evident in their classes , in which they blend breath work, meditation, chanting, and philosophy into innovative formats. They fuel posing sessions with soundtracks that range from Led Zeppelin riffs to spoken-word stanzas and use hands-on assists to support guests who suddenly decide to crowd-surf.

Two, Four, or Six Hours of Moving Assistance with a Truck from Johnson’s Moving & Storage (Up to 58% Off)
Asking people to help you move is a fast way to lose friends, much like hosting a birthday party in a labyrinth. Keep your crew intact with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
$99 for two hours of moving assistance with a truck (up to a $198 value)
$179 for four hours of moving assistance with a truck (up to a $396 value)
$249 for six hours of moving assistance with a truck (up to a $594 value)
Professional movers ease residential moves by packing up TVs, lamps, plants, and artwork, and by hanging clothes. They also wrap and protect furniture, and do the same for the flooring and corners of walls to prevent scuffing on the way out. Clients pack and organize the rest of their valuables into boxes ideally weighing 20–30 pounds, with a maximum of 50 pounds. Once they’ve loaded up the truck, the crew transports everything to a new location within a 200-mile radius of zip code 29403.
Johnson’s Moving & Storage
In South Carolina's Lowcountry, safely beyond the 100-year flood zone, lie the airy warehouses of Johnson’s Moving & Storage. Record collections and family furniture fills more than 2,000 rooms in Charleston, Mount Pleasant, and Summerville, with climate- and dust-control systems that preserve keepsakes as securely as their owner's memory only wishes it could. As part of this process, the team can catalog each box with a photograph before wrapping it for long- or short-term storage. This meticulousness also extends to moving, and the movers will always take responsibility for packing certain fragile items, a courtesy not limited to the comprehensive HighLine service that includes the boxing of all items. Johnson's has been honing their process for 13 years, and recognizes that packing and transportation are not the end of the story. Cleaning can accompany a move-out, electronics installation can accompany a move-in, and locksmithing can cap either end of the journey.

Jivamukti Yoga Charleston
Jeffrey Cohen and Andrea Boyd know that yoga's lessons stretch far beyond the reach of the studio mat. By applying Jivamukti tenets to all aspects of their lives, these advanced certified teachers endorse continual compassion, self-awareness, and Satsang—the practice of gathering with those who inspire you. Beneath their physical teachings lie lessons on character, which promote behaviors such as humility and peaceful vegetarianism. They also demonstrate the power of generosity by holding annual "Help Send a Student to Teacher Training" fundraisers. As they strive to extend yoga's core values into their everyday lives, they and their students hope to become "agents of change in the world," an underlying goal highlighted in their 2008 Yoga Journal feature .
This holistic approach to yoga is evident in their classes , in which they blend breath work, meditation, chanting, and philosophy into innovative formats. They fuel posing sessions with soundtracks that range from Led Zeppelin riffs to spoken-word stanzas and use hands-on assists to support guests who suddenly decide to crowd-surf.

Two, Four, or Six Hours of Moving Assistance with a Truck from Johnson’s Moving & Storage (Up to 58% Off)
Asking people to help you move is a fast way to lose friends, much like hosting a birthday party in a labyrinth. Keep your crew intact with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
$99 for two hours of moving assistance with a truck (up to a $198 value)
$179 for four hours of moving assistance with a truck (up to a $396 value)
$249 for six hours of moving assistance with a truck (up to a $594 value)
Professional movers ease residential moves by packing up TVs, lamps, plants, and artwork, and by hanging clothes. They also wrap and protect furniture, and do the same for the flooring and corners of walls to prevent scuffing on the way out. Clients pack and organize the rest of their valuables into boxes ideally weighing 20–30 pounds, with a maximum of 50 pounds. Once they’ve loaded up the truck, the crew transports everything to a new location within a 200-mile radius of zip code 29403.
Johnson’s Moving & Storage
In South Carolina's Lowcountry, safely beyond the 100-year flood zone, lie the airy warehouses of Johnson’s Moving & Storage. Record collections and family furniture fills more than 2,000 rooms in Charleston, Mount Pleasant, and Summerville, with climate- and dust-control systems that preserve keepsakes as securely as their owner's memory only wishes it could. As part of this process, the team can catalog each box with a photograph before wrapping it for long- or short-term storage. This meticulousness also extends to moving, and the movers will always take responsibility for packing certain fragile items, a courtesy not limited to the comprehensive HighLine service that includes the boxing of all items. Johnson's has been honing their process for 13 years, and recognizes that packing and transportation are not the end of the story. Cleaning can accompany a move-out, electronics installation can accompany a move-in, and locksmithing can cap either end of the journey.
