See all

This is the only yoga studio I've been to in Nashville that actually gets what yoga is about. Connecting breath to movement! It's a spacious studio with gifted and heart-centered teachers. If you are looking for an anaerobic workout on mats, this isn't your spot. Folks who practice real yoga will truly enjoy it though. Highly recommend. read more

I attended the INTRO TO AYURVEDIC VINYASA class at Yogasoul. It was taught by Jo-jo on Saturday June 8, 1130-2pm Cost: $30 pre-register / $35 at door. It was a birthday gift to my friend. She was curious about Ayurveda, and I thought this would be a very fun and educational gift to give her. The yoga studio was clean. There were a lot of lockers to select to put personal belongings. Dressing rooms were many in number. The bathrooms had a few stalls and two showers for ladies. Yoga mats were freely provided for us. I was relieved because I forgot mine. We spent the first part of the class learning about what Ayurveda is. I had already taken a 50 hour credit workshop in Ayurveda a long time ago, so this was a refresher course for me. Jo-jo was very warm and easy to listen to in class. Her knowledge of Ayurveda was extensive, and it was pleasant to see and hear another perspective of Ayurveda from a different instructor. My last instructor integrated a lot of chanting and Sanskrit in my last study of Ayurveda. She had lived in India and reflected her knowledge/ experiences of Ayurveda in India. Her workshop was a month long. Jojo's class was perfect for giving an explanation of Ayurveda and the three doshas. I liked her simple explanation of Ayurveda and the elements of the doshas. Ayurveda is the science or knowledge of life. Its main aspect is that the mind and the body are connected. I liked how she mentioned most yoga practitioners were Pitta. Pittas have a powerful intellect and a strong ability to concentrate. When they're in balance, they are good decision makers, teachers, and speakers. Who knew? After the lecture, we did Ayurvedic yoga for the three doshas. My friend and I were very satisfied and left Yogasoul with a lot of energy. The class was perfect. The yoga studio was clean. I was not prepared for the yoga practice, yet I was comfortable. Explanation of elements and doshas: The human body/mind consists of five elements; earth, water, fire, air and space or emptiness. The elements that combine to create us according to Ayurveda each have their own specific properties. Air is quick and ever-changing, while earth is stable and immobile. Fire is hot and light with water being the connector, the thing that flows. The last is a little more abstract. Space is the openness, the expansiveness in which all the other elements exist. The five elements combine in varying degrees to create doshas, or constitutions. The amount of each of the elements determines a person's demeanor and personality as well as bodily functions. The three primary doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha - each combine two of the above elements. Vata is made from space and air, it represents body movement, blood flow, and how the mind moves. Pitta is made from fire and water, which sounds counter-intuitive, but it represents a body's functions like metabolism, digestion, and energy. Finally, there's Kapha, which is formed from water and earth. This is a description of the class and the instructor: The word "ayurveda" means "science of longevity" and provides a system natural remedies and self-care regimens to bring us back to our nature and facilitate healing of your mind, body and spirit. Ayurveda is one of the Vedic sister sciences of yoga, and these two systems create a powerful, therapeutic combination of holistic medicine that's available to everyone. Students should dress comfortably for practice and can bring a pen & notepad for any note taking, water and a mat. The first half of class will be lecture and discussion about the three Doshas and the major physical sites of doshas in the body; about the differences between "prakriti" and "vikriti", and a dosha quiz to learn your "prakriti"; about specific series/types of Yoga postures best for each dosha that help to balance prakriti. The second half of this workshop will be a master class to experience how a tri-doshic ayurvedic vinyasa class feels in the body. There will be variation options for the postures to make the class as subtle or as deep as feels best for your practice, so use any props you feel will support your practice accordingly. *This workshop is available for CEU hours through Yoga Alliance Jo-Jo Jackson, aka "The Yogi Bassist," is a Yoga Teacher and Continuing Education Provider through Yoga Alliance. In addition, she's also an Ayurvedic Counselor and Meditation leader. As a yoga teacher & practitioner, Jo-Jo's aim is to move students--and herself--on the path of self-inquiry in order to discover their highest Truth, and she encourages students to seek liberation from what is holding us back. read more

Yogasoul - Intro To Ayurveda Class - Yoga Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This is a nice space with good vibes, and the yin yoga class I attended on a weekday evening was really popular. (Maybe everyone else was having a "new year, new me" moment along with me.) They had a few drinks for sale--much appreciated since I'd forgotten my water bottle--plus some apparel and yoga accessories. The main issues I had with my experience is that the door was locked when I arrived. There only seemed to be one instructor/staff member on duty, and he was teaching a class. Someone's kid was hanging out in the lobby and let me in from the cold, but it wasn't a great first impression. Second, the women's restroom/locker room is EXTREMELY small; probably the smallest I've ever encountered in a yoga studio. There might be more space elsewhere in the studio, but it wasn't pointed out on my "tour," and if the one is all they have then you'll need be comfortable changing clothes on top of other yogis when you get there. read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a while. Both my wife and I have been practicing at Yogasoul consistently over the past year. I've personally been practicing yoga daily since 2010. We've definitely found our yoga home & safe-haven here after trying a number of other local hot yoga studios. Cindy has created the real deal with YogaSoul! A supportive community, safe environment and top notch instructors that all care about their fellow yogis who practice here. As refreshing as this studio is. I still somehow deal with a daily personal resistance to the yoga. When I finally make it in I'm always made to feel welcomed and supported. Very grateful to have this studio in Nashville! Thanks Yogasoul! read more

I went to a chakra bath meditation led by a wonderful yoga instructor named Izzy. It was a beautiful experience that helped me very much. I walked into the room and there was ambient lighting and a peaceful atmosphere. There were plenty of yoga mats and blankets and cushions to be seated in a comfortable position. As she guided us through the meditation I felt very relaxed and comfortable. By the end of it I was very calm and clear. I was surprised by the effect of the guided meditation. It worked well and I would return to try it again. I think it's a really good place to go to let your stress from the week slip away. It felt like a safe space and I would recommend it to anybody. read more

I have been practicing at Yogasoul for the past several months and can't say enough about how awesome this studio is! The vibe is very welcoming and all of the teachers offer teaching styles that are unique and complimentary. The class schedule and workshops are diverse. There are a lot of opportunities to advance your practice and explore different branches of yoga. Yogasoul hosts a Live Music Flow where yogis get to flow to a musician sharing their songs - I would definitely mark this down on your to-do list if you are visiting Nashville. Cindy has done an amazing job weaving the music of Nashville in to the community that is Yogasoul. I am grateful to practice and learn here! read more
