The doors to my home yoga studio are open again. It’s a beautiful space that I’m grateful to have and grateful to share. If you live in Knoxville and are interested in joining a yoga class or scheduling a private session, I’d love to hear from you.
Class offerings at my home studio.
- Thursday at 9:30 is Yoga with Ropes Wall
- Fridays at 12:00 is All levels Yoga
- Private sessions are available between 9:00-2:00 and 4:00-6:00 on weekdays
Yoga with Ropes Wall uses the ropes wall as a prop to achieve alignment and extention of the body. It is helpful for stiff bodies, back issues, inversions and restorative poses. This class has evolved into a semi-private group of regular students. I send out a text reminder on Sunday to those with intention of attending class, to see who is available that week. I have space for six students. It’s a 75 minute class for $12. New students are welcome.
All Levels Yoga is an introductory class using props as necessary. It covers all genres of standing, sitting, twisting, backbends and inversions on the introductory level of Iyengar yoga system. This is a new class. I will be teaching this class to incorporate what I am studying as part of my Iyengar yoga teacher training program. It’s 60 minutes for $10. Drop in students are welcome.
Private sessions are a wonderful treat for anybody. It’s a perfect fit for people who need specific modifications or have questions about being brand new to yoga. Semi-private sessions can be arranged if you have friends or co-workers looking for a similar yoga experience. Private sessions are available at a sliding scale rate.

What is Iyengar Yoga? Iyengar yoga is developed by B.K.S. Iyengar. The style yoga is about attention to detail and precise focus on body alignment. Teachers go though poses slowly for students to absorb instruction and align their bodies in each pose. Props such as blankets, blocks, straps, and bolsters offer support to observe alignment with an understanding that leaves you feeling balanced and restored.
About me: I am a certified registered yoga teacher at the 200 hour level. I am on the path to my Iyengar certification which is a rigorous assessment process that takes 2-3 years to prepare for. There are no certified Iyengar teachers living in Knoxville. I study regularly with Aretha Mckinney at the Iyengar Yoga Center of Nashville. I take day trips to Asheville Iyengar Yoga for weekly classes while my four girls are in school. Since 2014 I have studied under Cindy Dollar, former owner of One Center Yoga in Asheville. I took my first yoga class in 2002 at Stillwater Yoga with Kathleen Pringle, an Iyengar studio in Atlanta. Visiting that studio still feels like going home.
I am located in South Knoxville. I practice and teach from my small studio in my detached garage behind my 100 year-old craftsman home. My doors are open to new and old friends.
