What happens when there no competition, but at least it exists

Humm where to start-Lets go with what I do like.

Facilities and location - As far as getting to the studio and having available parking nothing can match that. Especially considering the usual mid-town Nashville conundrum of finding parking close to where you are going.

Let me preface the following with the fact that ive been to 5 different studios in different states and this is easily the worst for the following reasons:

Once you step inside this little pink themed cutesy girly studio you realize these ladies have some major control issues- that is signs everywhere: Put your shoes there, sign up over here, dont be too loud, and dont let me catch you sweating too much. Well once you go over the check list you take notice of the overpriced merchandise available and in case you forgot your mat and a drink be ready to fork over 8 or 9 bucks. Cha-Ching! And to top it off its 20 bucks a class for a newcomer or you could by monthly unlimited for $140. Cha-Ching! Well if you are hardcore you could lower that price to around 100 a month but you have to commit to a year. Cha-Ching! This place is def meant for women with cash.

If you are a guy like me you can go into the humbly sized changing room and do your business, im sure the girls have it worse off though. Once inside the studio, the temp is nice and hot (i do like) and you are smoothed by the warming budda music. Now set up your mat and wait for your femma-nazi instructor. Now out of all the instructors there are a few that actually sound like they care to be there but most of them just rattel on like a broken record every class with the same monotone cadence. One girl goes so fast it feels like im in a micro-machines commerical. Just let us have silence in the middle of a pose one time. I don't care to hear all you feelings about every pose. After having the owner Cassie teach class in these commanding tones it probs rubs off on the instructors The owner just doesnt get it and it shows.

• Pros: facilities, location
• Cons: attitudes, vibes, preachy instructors, prices, lack of positivity

The most positive experience anywhere in Nashville!

Where else can you always see smiling faces, lose weight, improve your sleeping, and always feel better when you leave than when you entered?

Whatever your goal or your level the owner and instructors at this studio are THE best, they work really hard, they keep the beautful facility clean and neat, they make you want to come back - or even stay for the next class. They really, really mean anyone can do this and they pay attention to each client. It's really very impressive in this day and age of horrible customer service and bad attitudes - if the world were full of good customer service and good attitudes, this place would still top my list of GREAT!

I am a former - very former - professional athlete who put on a lot of weight and could not work it off at the gym no matter what. I heard really good things about this place from many,. many different types of people and decided to try it out - and I was hooked. In two months I have lost more than 15 pounds, I have a less intense appetite, I sleep much better (a lifelong problem for me) and I am less stressed out period. I am not young (50ish), I was badly overweight, and I felt totally comfortable from the first day, in this place, and I have never heard a single negative word or felt anything negative at all at Hot Yoga Nashville, just being around so much positivity makes it worth going each day!

BRAVO Hot Yoga!

• Pros: Everything!

Best Flex in the City!

If you are looking for a clean, high quality challenging but all level yoga experience, as a beginner or more advanced, go here. I joined a month ago, and have been almost every day. I look better, can handle stress better than ever before, am more efficient in my job and feel more peaceful in general.

My hat goes off to the owner and her wonderful team of angels!
