I have been going to 12 South Yoga for nearly 10 years off and on now, and it is by far my favorite…read moreyoga studio in town. That said, Iyengar yoga is a very different style of yoga and may not appeal to those who like more active styles or flow routines. At 12 South, you hold poses for longer and focus on form rather than speeding through a series. This is great for people who either already have or are prone to injury, since props can be used to achieve the full pose. But don't be fooled by the slower pace; this is definitely a workout. The lower level classes do not emphasize the breathing or chanting that is often associated with yoga, so if that is something that you dislike, this is the place to try. Instructors are attentive, classes are generally small and the facility is terrific -- very clean, with quality props, easy parking and a small selection of yoga apparel and accessories for purchase. I need to sign up for another session. :)

If you are looking for attentive, knowledgeable, instruction in Iyengar yoga, you should look no…read morefurther than 12 South (unless you live East, in which case, you should look at their sister location 11 South). Both locations offer superb instruction, a truly supportive and nurturing atmosphere that allows for fully experiencing the intensity and relaxation of Iyengar yoga. I have attended class by several instructors, and every one offers me new insights into poses, new techniques to maximize the effectiveness, and useful guidance to ensure I am doing poses properly. And that is the key difference here- proper position and technique. Poses are carefully and repeatedly taken, in order to really learn each one, rather than flowing through them sloppily. You will really "feel it" after these classes, as intensely as a more aerobic work out. The quads, glutes and hips are really involved in every pose, and I leave feeling both relaxed and stronger. Even the beginner courses get you involved in shoulder stands and inverted poses, and the use of equipment was mind-blowing for me. Again, it is all about proper form, and the brilliant use of props really allows you to set your body into poses that you would never have thought possible. The rooms are large, well appointed and clean. All equipment was in good repair and clean as well. I highly recommend 12 South Yoga.

Studio owner Stephanie has been part of Nashville's pilates community for years, and it's been fun to watch her build out Frame over the last 2-3 years, continuously adding new teaching talent, class offerings (jumpboards, 55+, strength, etc.) and studio upgrades. Frame is an approachable environment for all fitness levels and a great place to start your pilates journey. After attending other staple studios in Nashville, I ultimately joined Frame when it opened in September 2023. I was already a fan of Stephanie's instruction and several other familiar instructors joined her there as well. Having now taken 300+ classes, it's been a highlight to see other regulars who joined at the very beginning still showing up on a weekly basis.

If you're looking for a Pilates studio that feels equal parts luxury experience and empowering…read morecommunity, Frame Pilates Nashville is it. From the moment you walk in, everything feels intentional -- the energy, the design, the music, the flow of class. It's polished but warm. Elevated but welcoming. The instructors are comprehensively certified and truly know their craft. The cueing is precise, layered, and intelligent -- you're constantly learning how to move better, not just move more. Whether you're in Core, Sculpt, or Power, every class is thoughtfully programmed to challenge you while still honoring proper form and connection. What makes Frame different is the attention to detail. You can book your favorite reformer. The classes are small enough to feel personal. The vibe is strong but never intimidating. You leave feeling stronger, longer, and more connected -- not just sweaty (though you'll definitely get that too). It's not just a workout -- it's an experience. The community is supportive, the energy is empowering, and the results speak for themselves.

I recently purchased a Jumpstart package of classes here which came recommended by the stellar…read morestaff. It consists of two privates and four classes for pilates newcomers. I really appreciated how all of the staff take the time to communicate clearly and quickly via email prior to any bookings. Be sure to look out for certain discounts as well. For example, teachers and military get excellent deals - reach out to their studio email via their website. I just attended a private last week, and it was my first exercise class post-baby. I was a bit nervous considering my athletic ability, flexibility, and core strength were all so different than pre-baby. However, Hailey was equal parts encouraging, reassuring, and proactive. I felt accomplished by the end of the class, and the time went by extremely quickly. The exercise classes have something for everyone: there's a 101 for fundamentals, an athletic reformer class, a cardio reformer class, among several others. I can't imagine you would get bored any time soon should you choose to get a class package. Many of the class packages also come with guest passes, so you can take a friend. Parking near the complex is excellent: there's a huge private lot for the building behind the studio. A major plus for me is that they are so close to Jeni's Ice Cream and Frothy Monkey to name a few. (Possibly a bit dangerous in terms of yummy temptations. Ah well, that's why we go to pilates, haha.) Definitely give them a shot!

The class itself was a good one. I always like a good reformer class and this one really targeted various body parts. I was even a little sore the next day, which is not always the case for me.

One of the very first things I noticed about this local business is the fact that they included pronouns of all their instructors directly next to the class name. I thought that was so inclusive and awesome...and to be honest, I have never seen it before in any fitness or yoga class I've ever attended. It says so much to me about their values as a studio. I attended the trauma informed yoga class with Sarah via ZOOM. I really appreciated how easy the studio made it for me to find the link and that the process was seamless. Another thing that attracted me to the studio was that I was astounded with the diversity of experience, education, and the focus on mental and spiritual health that their website explained for instructors. For example, Sarah is a body positive advocate that doesn't believe in diet culture or fatphobia. She has a focus on trauma informed practices and making yoga accessible to all bodies. Her bio online says she has worked with many different organizations as a licensed master social worker. It makes a huge difference when the folks who teach trauma yoga classes actually know what they are doing versus trying to implement something they read in a book. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with the studio, even if my own computer issues did force me to have to log out early (if you're reading this Sarah, sorry about that!) If I find myself near music Row in Nashville I wouldn't hesitate to take another yoga class at this wonderful place.

As of Feb 2022, this gym is the only gym/studio in town that offers these classes and they're once a month on Sunday afternoons. The teacher was good and the class was very chill and low intensity. To attend that class, I bought 14 days for $14. As a first year teacher, I try to get my money's worth out of things so I decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and sign up for a class. The gym is a little hard to find your first time depending on where you're coming from, since it's underneath the yoga studio at street level. I came in, nervous and not knowing what to expect. I had signed up for Sweat with Jess, the owner. Sweat is a circuit class, but there's a lot of flexibility on what exercises you actually do. Jess led us in a warm up then explained the first circuit, but I must have looked like a deer in the headlights. She came up to me and quietly asked if I needed some help and I said yes please. She got me some small weights, demonstrated, then stayed with me until I got it. She was fantastic at checking in with me throughout the class in a quiet, respectful way. I've never met a class instructor like her, who was equal parts personable and professional. She was so encouraging, kind, funny, and clearly knew her stuff. It was a good workout, but I really appreciated that she told us to listen to our bodies and do what we needed. The class flew by too, which I have never said about a workout class. I've already signed up for my next class! I cant even put all the amazing things about this gym in a review, partially because my hands are sore from the kettlebell. I highly recommend checking out their website, they have a fantastic vision/ purpose.
