Epic Yoga

Great, clean yoga studio with excellent, motivational instructors. I really rank this as 4.75 stars because I personally prefer a hot room versus Epic’s warm studio. Nonetheless, you will still sweat. I also like a cold, lavender washcloth at the end which Epic does inconsistently. Class is finished in the traditional manner. However, because of its open concept with the studio being one large room, additional meditation on my mat in a quiet room is not possible.
Epic is a popular yoga studio with a super, friendly, non intimidating atmosphere. A great place for new and experienced yogis.

Absolutely fabulous! Leanne’s energy & spirit are contagious. She treated us like family even knowing we were just passing through. Her studio is lovely, the practice spot on, & everyone’s vibe beautiful. To boot, she provided cool, refreshing & very nice smelling towels to place on our eyes during savasana… so lovely. Namaste.

So much fun. It was my first time doing this type of yoga and I enjoyed it so much. The instructor provided gentle guidance and the other class participants encouraged you to try poses outside of your usual comfort zone. I am walking away feeling rejuvenated, centered and at peace (and quite sweaty). What a great way to end my vacation!

I took a heated 75 min. drop-​in class with Linda while I was in Nashville over the weekend — loved it. Appreciated her teaching style — she is hands on and gives great adjustments. As a studio newcomer, I could tell there is a great sense of community among the «regular yogis». The studio was very intimate, but for some reason did not feel overcrowded. I don’t usually do heated yoga (I wish I did), but I do practice vinyasa regularly so I was fine following the flow of the class and was challenged. If it’s convenient to get to, I would highly recommend the studio — really enjoyed it and will likely drop-​in again on my next visit.

Let me start by saying I am one of the most uncoordinated people on the planet. I’m also very scared of trying new things and not being good at them. With that being said there is no judgement at Epic. Only encouragement and helpfulness. I have found a particular class that I like and try to get to as often as my schedule permits. It is upbeat and fun and I always leave feeling accomplished.

A wonderful place to be. Wonderful, encouraging instructors. All levels are made to feel welcome.

What a great find! I was just passing through the area spending the night at one of the nearby hotels and booked a class here on a whim. It was a fantastic experience– a beautiful setting, a relaxing yet butt-​kicking class, and a totally non-​judgmental atmosphere with a sense of humor. As a beginner who has a hard time keeping up a practice schedule even at home, much less when traveling for a living, and as an out-​of-​towner, I was made to feel welcome and totally at home the minute I stepped through the door. Can’t wait until I’m coming through this area again!

Epic Yoga has saved me! I love this studio! The classes at Epic are challenging and relaxing all at the same time. I grew up taking dance and as an adult moved on to working out in a gym with weights… Epic Yoga has given we my flexibility back and I feel stronger than ever. I have even dropped almost 3 sizes in less than a year!
The studio atmosphere is very relaxed and non-​intimidating. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I love the sense of community.

Disclaimer: I LOVE yoga. It’s the only exercise I’ve ever been able to stick with; I crave it if I skip a few days; I find it healing, cathartic, and an awesome workout.
Disclaimer Part Two: I do not look or act like the typical yogi. I have some extra pounds, I eat meat, and I will give you the finger in the parking lot of the yoga studio if you cut me off.
Epic Yoga caters to my kind of non-​yogi, as well as the die hard experts, pretzel people, those who don’t touch their toes, and everyone in between. If you’ve been considering yoga, this is the place you’ve been waiting for. Everyone is genuinely welcomed, skill level (or lack there of) be damned. And if you’re more seasoned, you will still be challenged.
Most classes are 60 or 75 minute power yoga sessions taught in a room heated to about 90 degrees. The instructors (all of them – I have never taken a class taught by someone I didn’t like) are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely kind. The one characteristic about Epic that sticks out to me the most is the complete lack of that pretentious air that other yoga studios can carry. You have one thing to do at this place: Show up. If you fall, or lack focus, or are not wearing $ 100 yoga pants, or can’t touch your toes, it does NOT matter. I recently heard one of my favorite quotes ever in a rather challenging class: «You have to show up and suck, before you can show up and shine.» Yep. It’s that kind of place. Feel free to suck, no one is judging you.
The prices are comparable to other area yoga studios, but if you’re a first timer, I signed up for a 30 days (unlimited yoga) package for $ 30, which I believe is an ongoing special.
And one more thing: I’ve always wondered how people came to add things like headstands or «flying» poses, and things like that to their practice. In my past experience, you took a class, and you either could or could not do those postures. There was no instruction, and god forbid you tried and fell. The laid back nature of the studio, the encouragement of the instructors, and the padded floor (helpful!) are making me a better yogi. I am able to try things I’ve always feared, and build strength and confidence on and off the mat.
I can’t say enough about Epic Yoga (obviously. Even my mom probably hasn’t read this far.). but I will continue to babble and awkwardly try, so it’s probably best you just check it out for yourself. Namaste, bitches.

Recently wen to the hottest new studio in Nashville for a Yoga Life Coaching by Deborah Willamson. The studio is hopping! I loved the flooring as it was amazing feeling in down dog on my wrists and felt great doing Cat Cow! What I was most impressed by was the friendliness of the community there. I felt like it was the studio I normally practice in cause it had so much great energy! If I lived in Nashville, this is where I would practice! Thanks for the great experience. Oh I loved the heat too! It’s the way heat should be done!

I’ve discovered you can park around back and not run through the shopping center parking lot. Additionally — the schedule is great, the place never smells like rubber or sweat (now that its been open awhile) and Liz is my favorite instructor so far, but all of them are good!
The staff also makes an effort to give it a family/​community atmosphere, but is super welcoming to newbies.

This is one of my favorite yoga studios around. I leave every practice feeling refreshed and rejuvenated in a way few other studios provide, and the vibe, instruction, and overall experience at this studio are superb. I’ve been going consistently for two weeks and feel my body undergoing a huge transformation! I feel stronger, more energized, and more flexible, and leave every class looking forward to another. I appreciate the variety of each practice, the Baptiste-​style flow, and the quotes LeAnne and Liz (haven’t taken from others yet) weave into their classes. Total mind and body workout. Highly recommended.

Epic Yoga is an amazing place for hot vinyasa in the style of Baptiste. I was recently in Nashville visiting my parents for an extended period of time and decided to try out the studio with the new student package. Whoa! What an amazing experience.
The studio is nice is clean. The colors are very soothing. The instructors are amazing! Each approaches her own practice is a slightly different way and adds her own touches to the class. I really enjoyed every class but really liked Keenan’s 6 am classes. I know that is really early for some but it is totally worth it. I felt energized all day even though I got up at 5 am to hydrate and prepare.
Some classes are more packed that others (especially on weekends) so I encourage anyone to get there early to get a prime spot. Although this studio is new, it appears Leanne (the owner) may need to expand already as some classes are a little cramped. If the class is on the smaller size, you will receive a lot of individual adjustments to reach the pose’s full potential, which is amazing.
I encourage anyone interested in hot yoga to check out this studio. Definitely ask about the new student first month deal! I think it’s around 40 bux or so. I currently live in Charlottesville, Va and we only have a Bikram studio. I wish we had something like Epic Yoga out here… sigh. I guess I’ll be visting the ‘rents a lot in the future. :)
Thanks Leanne, Liz and Keenan for being so welcoming and reintroducing me to hot vinyasa again!
