Half Moon Yoga is the Place for Yoga Nashville!

Half Moon Yoga in Franklin, located in the Cool springs area, is the place to practice Yoga Nashville! It was the first fully equipped yoga studio in Williamson County opened 8 yrs ago under the direction of Donna Coggeshall. As of January 2009, Robbie Michelle Short took the reigns as new owner and director after relocating to Franklin,TN. She came in with a certain vision in mind and has been altering and expanding student's options ever since. Half Moon Yoga does not just look at yoga just for fitness because that is the 'watered down western way'. Our instructors are talented, creative, and specially trained and certified and teach in a more traditional manner which is another reason why we try to hold true to the real name of our yoga styles and lineages. Our classes we offer are for ALL ages and ALL levels and if you need assistance finding the right one for you feel free to contact us for guidance!
 
Our teachers have not just been effected at the cellular level but can testify that this ancient practice has been transformational at a deeper even more spiritual level! Yoga has been around 5000 years and has been proven to be a holistic practice! BENEFITS stemming from this ancient art and science with a regular practice can be: more flexibility, focus and strength, reduction of stress as well as physical/mental tension, reduction of blood pressure and cholesterol and hypertension, reduction of inflammation of pain from fybromyalgia to arthritis, natural alignment of vertebrae, rejuvenation to organs, calming the nervous system, and natural cleansing of digestive tract and endocrine system, and balancing equilibrium of the brain, and most importantly unifying an individuals mind/body/spirit!
 
Robbie's love, passion and respect for Yoga Nashville blossomed as soon as she dove into the deeper aspects of yoga and soon realized a gym environment no longer served her needs. Robbie started attending One2Yoga in Donelson and taught there for 5 years and even taught Ananda yoga for a brief period at 12 South until the commuting became an issue. During this time she realized all the multiple possibilities that Yoga Nashville offered and spent time traveling around to various studios in and around Nashville, surrounding areas and beyond. Robbie also volunteered as a board member for Yoga Society Nashville that opened her awareness up more and is proud to say many of her instructors at Half moon has either previously served on that board or are presently. Through this work our teachers have seen and worked voluntarily to help build community over competition as well as worked with well known and well respected nationwide teachers.
 
Half Moon Yoga embraces every lineage of yoga Nashville, and hopes to include more styles even in the near future. We currently offer Ananda (a meditative practice that uses affirmations), Blissful Flow ( a blend of Ananda and Vinyasa), Vinyasa ( a flowing sequence of poses that is linked by breath), Yin ( a relaxed longer held postures that benefits joints and connective tissues), Ashtanga (more challenging rigorous practice meant to make you sweat for detoxification), Prenatal ( journey of deeper connection to body and baby), Gentle hatha   (slow relaxed practice-good for both beginners and beyond), Mommy and me (for the mom and baby up to 1 year of age), Yogakids (playful practice designed for ages 3-teens depending on class), plus we have recently added Recovery yoga (affirmations also used here and taught by licensed counselor to help heal those struggling with addictions or major shifts in life). Because Yoga is grounded in energy and is a philosophy of life we also have added other energetic based and mind/body practices to compliment yoga such as QiGong (a gentle energy/breath based practice) and pilates(core focused mind/body practice that emphasizes a philosophy of movement). We also offer annual workshops in Feng Shui (focusing on the energy in a home/office environment), aromatherapy( oils and there benefits), Ayurveda (sister science of yoga that focuses on balancing constutution of body), Yantra painting and various forms of Meditation, annual Thai Yoga Massage, and more.
