My favorite yoga studio in Nashville. Nikki, the owner, is an amazing teacher and was gentle with me since I am a beginner. It is really hot in there so prepare yourself and hydrate! read more

I love the Sumit Series! It is the perfect combination of postures for a well rounded practice. This studio also offers several other great classes for all skill levels. For enthusiast they offer the hottest classes I have ever attended. They have a great roster of instructors. I can honestly say I truly love this studio and all of the instructors! This is a really special place with a great community of practitioners! read more

My daughter was part of a wedding party that scheduled a group class at 8:45am on 5/25.  When they got there, the doors were locked, no note on the door, no calls about refunds or reschedules.   Multiple calls have gone unanswered.  I am hoping there is an explanation for this.  It isn't OK. read more

Sumits Yoga in the Belle Meade area is a modern, attractive studio for hot yoga. I was told by one of the instructors it is one of the hottest studios in Nashville (literally) but I did not ask how hot as I was scared to know. It is located in the shopping center right at the junction between highways 70 and 100. There is only one room inside the studio for yoga but it does fit a fair amount of people comfortably. They have a large lobby with couches, a refillable water bottle station, two restrooms and locker rooms with showers. There is also a big space with cubbies to hang up jackets and stash shoes and purses. I have done both the Sumits Hot Yoga 60 class with Anna S and the Foundation Flow with Rebecca S. Both classes are at a similar pace where we move through a series of balance and vinyasa flow sequences. I really like both instructors. Rebecca S does a lot of the poses and makes adjustments to my form which I find to be helpful. I've realized something about myself which is that I don't really like hot yoga. I like the calming effects of regular yoga and if I am hot and sweaty I am not calm. Having said that, I think Sumits does a great job which is why I recognize their instructors are good and so is their studio. If hot yoga is your jam, then this seems like a great place. If I did like hot yoga I would do it here. I honestly just hate being so drenched with sweat after yoga that I feel like a disgusting mess. My face gets super flushed and my whole body head to toe is just a soggy disaster. Note: I bought a Groupon which was 10 yoga classes $47, which expires 30 days from the activation date. Even if you go to 4 or 5 out of 10 classes the deal is still worth it. I was told to arrive 10 or 15 minutes before the class time the first time I came here and one of the staff members set up my profile so that I could then use the 'Mindbody' app to schedule myself for future classes. Second Note: Although they have rentals available for mats and towels to put on top of your mats I would recommend bringing your own. They have small towels and they give you towels soaked in lavender water to clean up your mat after every class. read more

I started doing hot yoga back in January, and was NOT very good at it. I would try different yoga studios on the ClassPass app, and found myself less than impressed. A friend recommended Sumits, and although it was a little further from where I live, I decided to give it a try. Eventually I found that Sumits was the only workout class I was using on ClassPass. It sounds crazy, but I've done a hot yoga class there almost every day for the past few months, and have no plans to stop anytime soon! So a little about their classes: they are definitely the hottest yoga studio in town. Even if you lay on your back the entire class you will still be sweating! So it's hard but definitely doable. I found that I enjoy the "Sumits flow", which is their classic routine yoga class, the most of any class in town, but that may be my personal preference! They also have some classes where they add core work in and switch it up sometimes. What really makes Sumits stand out is its teachers. They always play fun music which definitely spices the class up! They are also all very understanding and don't judge if you have to sit one out, or lay on your back for awhile. They are all great, but my personal favorites are Stephanie, Rebecca, Caitlin, and Ally B. Stephanie gives a great relaxing class with lots of core work, and her helpful tips help me change something small about my yoga practice every time I go. Rebecca is really good at explaining the details of what to do in each posture- even in downward dog I find myself learning new things about the posture when she's teaching. Caitlin's class is great for first timers! I brought my boyfriend who has never done yoga before, and, needless to say, was a little nervous - Caitlin did an awesome job of guiding him through each posture and making him feel comfortable. And Ally B... well, if you sign up for her class, definitely be prepared for an energizing workout! All in all, Sumits is probably my favorite yoga studio I've ever been to, and has made hot yoga a big part of my life. I'm thankful to have found a workout I thoroughly enjoy enough to come back every day, and have really noticed a huge difference in my yoga practice. Thank you Sumits!! read more

Today was my first time attending a Pilates class and I must admit that I underestimated what it took to make it through one. Stephanie was the instructor this evening and she was amazing. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and understanding. I recently hurt my wrist boxing and Stephanie noticed and gave me similar exercises that accommodated my wrist sprain. I used a class pass to participate, however I'm heavily considering becoming a member after my experience! read more

I wish I could give this studio 6 stars. This is by far my favorite yoga studio in the Nashville area. I LOVE the people, I LOVE LOVE the classes & instructors & I LOVE LOVE LOVE that the door locks at the time it is supposed to start. I know someone left a negative review in regards to that detail, however that is a reason that plays a part of why I love this studio. They are very courteous to all yogis and when you start your flow/ practice the door locks so each person that was on time gets the experience they came for. I did a lifetime class previously and it was SO distracting when people would come in and out of the doors for the first 10 mins and it distracts all of the people there for the class. Yoga to me is a meditative experience, it is not like a regular exercise class. Yoga gives you the time to learn about your body, your mind, and your soul and connect all three. This yoga studio is second to none. Since I have left the Belle Mead area and bought a house in Thompson's Station I miss this studio. I cannot seem to find anything within 25minutes of my new residents that come close to the quality of the yoga experience that can be found here. Thank you Summits for the amazing classes. Never change. read more

Let me preface my review by saying that I teach heated power vinyasa yoga at CorePower, and I LOVE a challenging vinyasa flow... Sumits was a lot of fun! I took a 75 minute Hot Vinyasa Flow and Core Strengthening class on a Wednesday night and boy, it was tough! Now, yoga is certainly about your own, individual practice, but I couldn't help scanning the room and noticing many yogis either taking breaks or resting in child's pose, so it was definitely a challenging class and I would only recommend it to more experienced yogis, and specifically yogis who have practiced with heat before. But again, I love more intricate/challenging flows so I was a happy yogi in my element. :) Ally was the instructor and she was very energetic and lots of fun; she really encouraged us in her teaching cues and style, and had a creative sequence and an upbeat, hip hop playlist. After class, I chatted with Ally briefly and she mentioned that the particular class got up to approximately 100 degrees and 50% humidity. Just for frame of reference, a CorePower C2 is typically 95 degrees with 30% humidity, so it was much warmer than I was used to, and a whole lot more slippery, almost to the point where I didn't feel entirely grounded in some of my postures because it was too wet, so that would be my only constructive piece of feedback. Otherwise, this was a very fun class to attend and I highly recommend Ally and her vinyasa flow! I would love to come back the next time I'm in Nashville! read more

When it comes to hot yoga, I just want to be left alone. I don't want the instructor to push me beyond my boundaries and try to make me go further than I want to. Sometimes, I need to sit down, and I don't want the instructor to tell me to get up or be super concerned about me. Unfortunately, I haven't been finding hot yoga instructors that let me do these things. Crazy, right? Sumits Yoga is seriously the ONLY hot yoga place where the instructors don't do this... and I LOVE IT! I'm so glad I found this place! Also, they keep the room very clean. After every class, there is someone in there wiping down the entire room. And it's on hardwood floors (not carpet), which seems like an obvious thing for hot yoga... but I've found way too many places having carpeted floors, which is totally disgusting. read more

I love the studio and all of the teachers! Its so clean and friendly. Literally all shapes sizes genders and levels of experience are welcomed and not judged which makes class more fun (for me at least). Some studios lack in customer service and some teachers elsewhere have entitlement tendencies which is intimidating. read more

Sunday mornings aren't complete without starting my day at Sumits Yoga Nashville. Rebecca's classes are fun, challenging and leave you feeling so great! I highly recommend this studio. read more

I don't usually leave 1 star reviews, but I had an extremely negative experience practicing yoga at Sumits. It was not a welcoming environment and did not seem to carry the same positive spirit I have experienced at other hot yoga studios around town. The instructor was condescending to those who could not keep up with the class. Yoga is not a competition. I left the studio feeling really negative and angered by the mean spirited comments made by the instructor. read more

I have been going to Sumits for two years, and was new to hot yoga. If you have never tried hot yoga, this is a great place to start. Read the reviews about the individual classes, because some are hotter and harder than others. But no matter what level you are, all the teachers are so great and help the new students feel totally comfortable. read more

I purchased the new guest pass online and showed up for a Saturday morning class. I was about 2 minutes late but the staff member who opened the door said I couldn't come in, very rudely, and shut the door. Terrible first impression for a potential new client... Definitely not returning here. read more

Sumits was such a great find! I stopped by for my first vinyasa flow class on Saturday afternoon and loved it! I was not expecting to find such a beautifully updated studio when I walked in. Tons of hardwood, high ceilings, dimly lit, and a huge locker room! Sumits also is the hottest yoga class I have ever been to in Nashville. I have never finished my 1L hydroflask during a class before.. but I definitely needed it for this class. From what I have gathered, a lot of the classes are a flow version of the 26 postures. I am glad I went to the vinyasa flow as I like my yoga a little more faster paced. I thought my instructor was awesome and will definitely be back! For new members, there is a $20 for two weeks special! read more

I have loved Sumits for the past 3 years. I started there as a runner who did not practice much yoga. After one class (that I was dragged into by a friend), I was hooked. The classes flow SO well in an awesome heated room. The staff is well trained and friendly. read more

I came to Sumits reluctantly with a friend's encouragement. I was managing some life changes that were causing quite a bit of stress and sadness. I am very grateful that I was open to the experience because not only has the practice helped my stress management, but it has also helped me get a little of the light I felt I had lost back because it is just a really positive and encouraging place overall. I am also physically stronger and can tell a big difference in my waist line so that is an added plus! The instructors are all terrific and I am grateful that I said yes to the experience! read more

Last week was my first experience with Sumits Yoga at Sumits Yoga Nashville. The studio has recently been renovated and is absolutely beautiful. The yoga room is spacious with high ceilings and clean brand new wood flooring. The instructor Nikki, who is also the owner, led us through an awesome, heated class. Be prepared to sweat! I got an amazing workout and finished an entire 32oz water bottle. When I needed to rest a few times it was totally fine to hang out in child's pose for a bit until I was ready to go again. I was super thankful for the cold towels handed out at the end of class and for the clean and fully stocked women's locker room so I could get out of my sweaty yoga clothes and grab a cool shower post class. I definitely recommend checking out this studio. It was a super comfortable and supportive atmosphere and I enjoyed the change from my regular vinyasa classes. I'm looking forward to my next class. read more

This is a great studio! I didn't know what to expect, having purchased a groupon for my first class pass - but it was a very pleasant surprise! The studio is spacious, clean and has a good ambience. There is a great merch setup in the front. The instructor I had was great, and I will definitely be returning. One small criticism I have is that I don't love when an instructor leaves the studio as the class settles into sivasana. For whatever reason, students also then get up and leave almost immediately - and that's very disruptive (loud, commotion), which means that you end up getting about 10 seconds of peaceful sivasana. I would prefer the instructor held the space for the amount of time allowed during sivasana for the full effect/benefit. read more

I started going to Sumits a month ago as a colleague teaches (Ally B who will definitely give you a great workout!) I had only been to one yoga class before and it was not hot yoga. I am absolutely obsessed! Hot yoga is great and Sumits is an amazing and relaxing atmosphere to practice yoga! You are so comfortable from the first class and there is no judgment if you aren't as strong or flexible as you want to be. In the month since I started going I have gone to 12 classes and plan to continue going for a long time (even though the studio is 25 minutes from my home and work)! I 100% recommend trying hot yoga at Sumits as it is such a great workout and the people there are awesome! The owner Nikki is so welcoming and will make sure you are comfortable and love going there! read more
