News Summary
YogaSix has officially closed its North Myrtle Beach location, leaving South Carolina without any operational studios. This follows the planned shutdown of another location in Forest Acres and reflects broader challenges faced by the brand and the yoga industry in the state. The community now faces the impact of losing a wellness franchise that had recently opened but struggled to maintain a foothold amidst changing market conditions.
North Myrtle Beach Marks Final Closure of YogaSix Location in South Carolina
North Myrtle Beach, SC — YogaSix has officially closed its North Myrtle Beach studio, leaving South Carolina without any locations of the popular yoga franchise. This closure follows the impending shutdown of the Forest Acres studio, which is scheduled to cease operations on November 30, 2025.
The North Myrtle Beach location was situated adjacent to Cava and Wingstop and has now cleared out all of its furniture. Google Maps has marked the business as “permanently closed,” and attempts to reach the studio via phone Thursday morning were unsuccessful. Although the YogaSix sign remains visible on the exterior of the building, the location is no longer listed on YogaSix’s official website.
Further confirmation of the studio’s closure comes from the brand’s location finder tool, which now shows no other YogaSix studios in South Carolina. This drastic reduction of locations highlights YogaSix’s ongoing challenges in maintaining a foothold within the state.
Impact on the Community
The North Myrtle Beach studio was one of two YogaSix franchises in South Carolina. The forthcoming closure of the Forest Acres location represents a significant retreat for the brand in the state, having only opened in May 2023 as the sole YogaSix site in the Midlands. The business’s struggles may reflect broader issues within the yoga industry in South Carolina.
Prior to these closures, the YogaSix franchise had begun to make its mark across various regions. However, the lack of updates or engagement on its franchise Facebook page since January raises questions about the brand’s overall commitment to its South Carolina clientele.
Background Context
YogaSix, known for its accessible approach to yoga, emphasizes that each of its locations is locally owned and operated. However, the recent closures have led to increasing scrutiny regarding the viability of the brand within South Carolina. The series of closures follows reports of financial struggles faced by the franchise as it attempted to establish a presence in competitive markets.
In summary, the closure of the North Myrtle Beach location signifies not only the end of YogaSix’s presence in the region but also stands as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by many businesses in the post-pandemic landscape. The future of yoga studios and wellness franchises in South Carolina remains uncertain as communities are left to adapt to the changing availability of such services.
