MINDFUL MONDAYS with Prentiss Standridge at Jade Castle


Hello Jade Castle friends!

I am excited to announce that we are now offering..

MINDFUL MONDAYS

Mindful Mondays at Jade Castle include one hour yoga instruction!


When: Every Monday at 5:45pm
Where: Jade Castle Studios
501 Augusta St.
Greenville, SC 29605
Cost: $10/class

RSVP, register by emailing jadecastleproductions@gmail.com

This class is for all—from beginners to advanced yogis. The Vinyasa sequence focuses on basic yoga postures and sequencing, and the fundamentals of power yoga. Practitioners will learn to link breath with movement, quiet the mind, and tone the body, inside and out, with a moderate to fast paced flow. Bring a mat, towel, water, an open mind and heart!

Instructor: Prentiss Standridge 


Prentiss was first introduced to the physical benefits and discipline of yoga while studying Acting at the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Theater's program in Minneapolis. She remembers stepping into her first heated Vinyasa class, and wondering if she would ever make it out alive. Not only did she complete the class alive and well, but Prentiss began to realize the heart enriching benefits of yoking mind, body, and spirit in challenging situations, on and off the mat. In 2012, she received her Power Yoga Teacher Training from Corepower Studios in Minneapolis. As a teacher, Prentiss provides powerful affirmations for beginners, and challenges yogis to use their mat as a mirror for self-exploration with the breath at the forefront of every class. Lokah Samasta Sukinoh Bvantu.

Hi Jade Castle friends! 

Are you a writer in the Upstate? 

Are you looking to connect to other writers for networking and critique? 

Have you written a screenplay that needs a polish?  

Got an idea for a screenplay ... now what?  

Already a great film maker and want to be a better story teller?



This Writer’s Workshop is designed to help you, wherever you are, get where you want to be.


Students in this class will develop skills concerning story, plot, theme, and character development by focusing on how to tell a story in visual terms.  We will also examine films from a professional screenwriters point of view.  We will look into the problems screenwriters face and the tools they have at their disposal to solve these problems.  In short, this class will familiarize you with the common language professionals use to communicate their ideas in the development and production of feature films - the language of cinematic storytelling.
