Studio Dakini : The Yoga Source

I’m new to yoga but checked out several places eventually settling at Dakini which I think they just changed the name to Liberation. Awesome place and people. Very comfortable being there. Highly recommend !!

Since I have only taken one class at Studio Dakini I feel like I can only really comment on the studio as a space rather than make any sort of judgment on a single yoga experience.
Studio Dakini used to be located in the 12^th & Paris building but in the back behind Burger Up. They moved last fall to their current suite which is a quite a bit larger next door to Sloco. Studio Dakini offers a variety of Vinyasa style yoga classes throughout the week mornings, midday and evenings. I could be wrong but I believe they just combined with a studio that closed and so they’re continuing to add more classes. I’ve been following them on facebook and they are very good about updating schedule changes such as teacher substitutions or cancellations.
The space itself is very pretty but very small. So if you’re one of those folks looking for a large class environment or if you feel like you need a lot of space between mats, Dakini probably isn’t the yoga studio for you. However because the studio is smaller, the classes are inherently smaller therefore you’re likely to get more student teacher attention which I find is very important in yoga. The class that I took only had 6 students and she was able to give everyone tips and help throughout the class. I like to know when my body needs adjustment. Yoga is all about the poses if you’re doing them wrong it’s a waste of time, plus you could possibly do yourself more harm.
I suggest arriving early because parking in 12thSouth is a nightmare, you can pick your spot on the floor and I assume they have to limit the amount of students in each class because of the studios size. Classes are $ 15 drop in, 5 for $ 65, or 10 for $ 108 and they have a really easy checking in and out process. I have a feeling they only accept cash/​check (I could be wrong) so that’s something to be aware of if you drop in. This studio does not have a locker room and they have only one bathroom. They also share the space with Fear No Art (obviously not during class times) that website is
If you live in the neighborhood this a great place to come for yoga!

Cow, cat, cow cat. Brown… Ah, you get the picture.
This place is great. Well, for my liking. The room is long and has windows at one end that are high off the ground. The mood is inviting and the atmosphere warm.
I like that there are two changing rooms inside the studio. Also, they have bottled water and Emergen-​C and tea for your fluid replacement after a nice stretch.
Its kinds nice that they play contemporary adult chill music. Soft tunes from Dave Matthews, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd as well as meditation and atmospheric delusions.
Being in Cummins Station is kinda great. The parking is free with validation for two hours. There are several options for food in the building which is nice after practice.
The prices are quite competitive. $ 15/​session or a package as reasonable as 10/​session for $ 100.
They have mats and blankets to use (I believe at no charge — I bring my own). Lot’s of places charge for these.
As with any Yoga class, it’s nearly all about the instructor. Having shopped around for one that feels right; I am happy to have tried out Yoga Source.

Best Yoga class I’ve encountered in Nashville so far. More of a meditative, calm, spiritual class with a teensy bit of chanting and a variety of classes for different skill levels. I love it.
Plus, they have a discount for Vanderbilt students. If you’re willing t commit to a package of classes it can average out to like $ 10 per.
I have got to get me one of those crystal gong bowl thingies. doooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
