Boudoir photography isn’t just an experience - it’s a mindset. Getting in front of the camera can make you feel vulnerable on the best days (and when you’re fully clothed), so being mentally prepared to bare yourself physically and emotionally takes a lot of guts. One way to prepare for this empowering mindset is by practicing yoga. Connecting your breath to your body and practicing being present in the moment are huge assets when feeling confident in your camera presence. These are some of our favorite Nashville yoga studios where you can practice your empowerment while stretching your muscles and maybe even getting in a solid workout. 

5 Nashville Yoga Studios to Build Confidence Through Movement & Connection

Sanctuary For Yoga

Sanctuary For Yoga has been a welcoming space for yogis of all levels since it opened in 2004. In the nearly twenty years since, they’ve built a strong community of teachers and students eager to honor themselves just by showing up. Their bright and airy studio is a calming, serene place to practice with few distractions. From restorative yoga classes to energizing sculpt and flow sessions, there is a mat and a class for everyone at Sanctuary For Yoga. 

Steadfast and True Yoga

Steadfast and True Yoga is dedicated to making yoga accessible to everyone by offering over 40 classes per week of varying styles and levels. Whether you prefer to practice in the morning, midday, or after work, they have a class to suit your preferences. They have created a space where you can bring your present self to your mat and hire experienced instructors who will challenge you to do your best. You’ll always have the support of your community so you can continuously show up for yourself in the best and most consistent ways possible.

Nashville Yoga Co.

At Nashville Yoga Co, their classes cater to bodies of all types and students of all levels. After even a few sessions, you’ll find yourself more flexible, toned, and able to clear the clutter in your mind and focus. Many of their yoga classes are Hot, so bring an extra towel and come prepared to sweat. That said, they do have non-heated Yin Yoga and Sculpt Yoga classes for those who prefer to keep things cool.

Hola Yoga

The founders and instructors of Hola Yoga realize that yoga is about so much more than a workout; it’s about the connection between mind and body and a strong sense of community. They will help you cultivate a sense of connection within yourself and your yoga community to live with more compassion and understanding (and who of us couldn’t stand to be a little more compassionate towards ourselves?) They offer classes at every level for every yogi, including those just dipping their toes into the world of yoga. 

Luna Yoga

If you are searching for a more meditative studio with whom you can practice, Luna Yoga may be the right fit. This unheated studio emphasizes meditation and pranayama, or breath control. You’ll still move your body and learn foundational yoga poses, but you’ll also spend time connecting with your mind and your breath for a more present and stress-relieving practice.
