My Yoga My Way

Until I started taking yoga with Shawn, my attempts at working out were sporadic. In a short period of time, I gained strength I never got with years of gym workouts. Shawn challenges every student to get to the next level. She knows how to cater to the needs of every body. I never thought I would be able to stand on one hand or stand on my elbows.
The regulars here are a fun, supportive crowd who like to get to try new things, laugh, and listen to Guns n Roses, Lady Gaga, or even Johnny Cash while working out. If you want to go to yoga to chant and sit on the floor, this isn’t the place for you. But if you want to challenge yourself, enjoy your workout time, and learn to do scorpion, flying crow, handstands, and maybe even throw in a cartwheel or two, My Yoga My Way is the only place in Nashville you are going to find it. Everyone starts thinking «I can never do that» and is amazed how quickly they achieve it. All it takes is an instructor who takes the time to teach you where you’re at, and that is Shawn.

After finding a recent Living Social deal for an unlimited month of classes at My Yoga My Way (In the group exercise room at Next Level Fitness), I decided that I should give it a try. So far I’ve been to two of Shawn’s classes and really love her expertise and attentiveness to class goers. She gives really great corrections to poses to help you get the most out of them and she does a great job evaluating the level of her class and helping them progress on an individual level. She offers a wide range of classes-​from beginner to advanced yoga, pilates, and an aerial yoga class is coming soon. They offer a full range of yoga props-​mats, straps, and blocks so that you don’t need to worry about bringing your own. Parking in front of the studio is a little tight-​but they’ve got many spaces behind the studio (and actually, the backdoor opens right into the studio space instead of the gym space!)
Another great thing about My Yoga, My Way, is that she takes musical requests-​much lighter on the traditional ‘om’ music-​bring on the Michael Jackson!
