I absolutely love 12South Iyengar Center. I’ve been attending Rachel Mathenia’s classes for a little over a year and have learned so much about yoga and my body. (Rachel is an excellent teacher!) This style of teaching is perfect for newbie yogis, like myself, and advanced students, too. I would add this studio to the list for sure! http://www.12southyoga.com/
I am new to yoga, but I absolutely love Yoga Harmony in West Nashville. The studio is very warm (literally and figuratively!) and inviting. And the instructors are awesome! For anyone who is nervous about looking silly, like I did, this studio and its instructors will put you at ease and have you wanting to come back again and again!
I second Allie’s comment, above. Rachel is amazing. That studio and that practice–Iyengar Yoga–is wonderful. Go to there. Immediately. No pressure, though. 🙂
Nashville is so lucky to have so much yoga love. Hope to see LiberationNashville in 12 South on the list for next year. Beautiful space and amazing teachers!
Half Moon Yoga in Cool Springs/Franklin is a nice studio. I love taking classes there. Always something different happening with classes, workshops and retreats; and the instructors I’ve met are great!
12 South: Iyengar Center of Nashville is hands down, no contest, the best studio in Nashville.
I am the owner of Half Moon Yoga in Franklin (thank you Jaime:) and it always surprises me that 12South Iyengar and Kundalini Rising never seem to get recognition in these type of Nashville polls. I suggest checking every single studio out to find your place, resonance of teachers/teachings/lineages, and feel of sacred spaces to discover what’s best for you. Also, demographics are different depending on the offerings and location so it would be nice if this was considered too. Nashville & the greater Nashville area has Amazing teachers & studio’s with something for everyone!
I’m a long-time yogi and meditator and I really enjoy so many of the studios you mentioned. I don’t see Blooma…If you have not been yet, this is a game changer! I love it so much because I’m a mom, and my little boy is now just as good at yoga as some of my newly practicing friends. The studio is SO flexible, provides child classes and child care, amazing programs and workshops- it’s like a little slice of heaven in the heart of west Nashville!! My friends and I love love love it and hope you will too! Thanks for this great article!
I agree with Alissa (above)- Blooma is such a fantastic studio for not only pregnant moms and postpartum moms, but for anyone looking for a unique yoga studio that really caters to a variety of needs. They offer a wide range of classes and workshops, including kids’ classes and classes where you can bring your baby! Jenni is an incredible woman bringing people together in a warm and loving environment. Check it out, on Charlotte Ave. in West Nashville!
YogaSoul off Wedgewood. The owner Cindy is an incredible woman and believes in the power of yoga and community. This place has changed my life! I would love to see them on Nashville Guru!
