Colleen is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT500), Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT), Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP), a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), and a Reiki Master, Teacher and Trainer. She has been practicing yoga as a dedicated student for over 21 years, and teaching for 16 of those years.
I loved attending a yoga class with Colleen while in Nashville with a bachelorette party! It was the perfect relaxing, yet fun activity for us to do with our bride-to-be before hitting the town to celebrate! From advanced to beginner, Colleen tailored the class to each of our skill levels. Her studio is also conveniently located in East Nashville close to many great restaurants.
If there are no reservations for a class 2 hours before the start time, the class will be canceled. Teacher will sign-on to on-line classes approximately 5 minutes prior to class start time. If you set your equipment up so that the teacher can see you on your screen, you will be able to receive alignment recommendations which can help to keep you safe during your practice.
Please be mindful in your movement. If a movement or pose doesn't feel good, slowly come out of it. Avoid quick, jerky movements during the class. You always have permission to unmute yourself and ask a question. Have fun! This is a detail oriented exercise class, with focus on engaging specific muscles for different exercises.
These training weekends were developed for students who want a deeper experience and understanding of yoga. They also provide Yoga Alliance CEU's for certified yoga teachers (12 hours for each training weekend). Every training I've taken with Blossoming has been fantastic! Colleen is meticulous and very thorough when preparing her presentations.

The teachers and community at this studio are wonderful. This is not “commercial” or “factory” yoga; this is a place where very knowledgeable teachers like Colleen care deeply about students’ well-being and learning. My mind and body have benefited from visiting BlossOMing Yoga over the last year; I’m so glad I found it!

I recently moved to Nashville and was looking for a yoga studio that had true Restorative Yoga classes. I have a few medical issues, and a Restorative yoga practice has been an integral part of my self care routine.
I went to three different studios that listed restorative yoga classes. Unfortunately, these weren't true restorative yoga sessions...most were gentle yoga, some didn't even have props for support.
I continued my search and found BlossOMing Yoga studio. I sent an email to make sure the class was what I was looking for.
The studio owner Colleen Dwyer, replied quickly and assured me
