I have been attending classes at Chestnut Hill Yoga for the past 10-months. I very much appreciate the cuing, the specificity of attention to anatomical structures in each yoga posture. Paying attention to the body in this way is challenging and enlivening.

An absolutely phenomenal studio. The least pretentious, most welcoming, warming studio I’ve visited in my 15+ years practicing. I’ve always practiced Vinyasa but wanted to give Iyengar a try due to medical reasons. This was VERY different from Vinyasa with no flows so I recommend researching Iyengar before taking a class if you love a flow class.
Gentle Yoga with Becky was magic. She gave detailed cues with multiple alternatives based on various injuries, checked in with everyone by name, asked me several times (directly and by name) how I was doing, really just above and beyond.
I am now a Chestnut student for life.

Beautiful studio and well-trained teachers. I have been going there for many years and it has been an enjoyable experience every time.

I went to Iyengar Yoga for Women with Aretha and it was a practice like I've never experienced before. She was funny, patient, and helpful as it was my first time doing this class. Definitely recommend to try out if you are in the area!

Only place in town that's not all hot yoga (since Steadfast closed), which is disgusting to me. So that gives it 5 stars. However I wish they had some vinyasa flow classes. They have 1 weekly Ashtanga class but haven't been able to make it due to work. The Inyegar (or whatever) is nice and great for alignment, but just doesnt feel like a full yoga class without the flow.

If you’re looking to advance your practice with compassionate, skilled instructors I highly recommend Chestnut Hill Yoga. I started with Iyengar 2 then finished with Iyengar 4 and truly appreciate the attention to detail during cuing and personalized instruction in the group setting. Next time I’m in Nashville, I’ll be back!Thank you Aretha, for a blissful experience.

I was visiting Nashville, for a week and I treated myself with 7 amazing Iyengar classes, I had 5 different teachers.Classes where from Iyengar 1 to Iyengar 4 and all levels.Each teacher is unique, but they all have the same core value of Iyengar yoga.Feeling Refreshed with the study, practice and teachings of yoga.Namaste!

Teachers share their tenured knowledge of iyengar yoga and they communicate clearly about the body and physiology. They have a humble sense of self and are not at all judgemental. The space is great, it's a good setting for honoring one's body by doing the work.

1st time taking a yoga class & it was great! Aretha is very good at articulating each movement throughout the class. Definitely returning!
