You're going to enjoy your experience with The Glowing Body. They have a really open and welcoming environment. My favorite thing is the pace. You actually have time to experience the postures & breathing covered in class. I have worked with Kim, who has wonderful tonality and she has great information; very good communicator. She had great understanding of body alignment, how to achieve the best posture for my point in development and what sensations to look for in my body to progress at a reasonable pace. Loved it. Get the unlimited pass and practice with them daily!

I love this studio space and the sky light in the ceiling! I’ve been coming here for years and the teachers all have wonderful unique teaching styles that keeps the experience fresh. I practice yoga mostly at home but there is nothing quite like sharing the practice in a space with others. Glowing Body is a gem!
I’ve been to the restorative classes, Hatha, ropes and wheel classes, as well as power flow. All of them have beauty and power in presence.

The Glowing Body environment is welcoming, encouraging, and supportive as you practice what you know and press into growing edges. This affirming philosophy starts at the top and is reinforced in the classes led by teachers who love doing what they do. Practicing at The Glowing Body is always a bright spot in my week.

Whitney was exceptional! I've always loved this studio and am happy to have had such a wonderful experience. Even from the first moments, I felt at ease and Whitney went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. Her massage style was somehow gentle and deep. I'll be making another appointment soon.

I recently got a massage from Shelagh Leutwiler and it was AHHHMAZING. I have probably had 20 full body massages on my life and have never once had the massage therapist sit down with me prior to starting and actually ask me about my life, the reason I am there, areas I want to focus on, etc. Normally, they look at the questionnaire, ask a few questions, and carry on. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. I felt 1000x better afterwards and she even went through some techniques I could try to alleviate my tension and some suggestions that might help relax me. I definitely recommend

In town for two days of business meetings and found this gem of a studio while web surfing pre-trip. Visited the studio both days. Jen C's ropes class was a total treat, as was Allison's morning class. Highly recommended. Drop-ins warmly welcomed. I always enjoy trying new studios when on the road and this one ranks up with my favourites. Check it out if in Knoxville.

I was visiting TN on vacation and really wanted to get in a yoga class, so found The Glowing Body and noticed they offer some karma classes...what a nice touch! The class was fantastic...great instructor, great students and a relaxing space to practice yoga. The staff was extremely welcoming and I even picked up a lavendar and mint eye pillow too - bonus!

I regularly take a "karma" class at the Glowing Body, which is a class without a set price. You show up and pay what you can.
The studio itself is always clean, the staff is courteous and friendly, and the instructors are very knowledgeable. The studio offers several styles of classes, though I now take a hot power yoga class exclusively.
I highly recommend this studio, both for the variety of classes offered as well as for the knowledgeable instructors. The atmosphere of the studio is everything you can ask for.

I'm from CA, and decided to check out the Yoga classes at The Glowing Body, while in TN. This studio is a mixed space, offering massage and art as well.
First, the studio was very clean, aesthetically pleasing, and the staff at the front desk was cordial.
Most importantly though, the classes were wonderful and the instructors were experienced and just lovely to work with!
I took two classes, 1) Ashtanga-Inspired Vinyasa On The Go, with Allison
and 2) Yoga Lift, with Philip
I have to say that I have been doing Yoga on/off for ten years, run, and do power-lifting, thus live a fairly active

I was part of a yoga class for two years with the same instructor who was very good about gently correcting, and making sure the students were practicing properly so as to not injure themselves. She also had a fabulous voice, very calming and soothing, wrote her own guided meditations for shivasinas. Unfortuneately this instructor had to stop teaching, as the recession hit in 2008, and she had to work double at her government job.
I have yet to find an instructor who has the same merits, until now. I took one class at The Glowing Body, the Zen class, and I can't say enough great things about

I am pretty new to yoga. I took a few classes in Atlanta and never 'got it'. When I moved to Knoxville I started taking classes at glowing body with a friend and immediately saw a difference in the classes in what they offered an what I had taken in the past. When I am at glowing body I feel a connection to yoga and a connection to my own self. The environment is soothing and the staff is both encouraging and professional. I'm not an expert in yoga, but I am a big fan of the glowing body.

Displaced urbanites and transplanted yoga aficionados will recognize Glowing Body as Knoxville's only "real" yoga studio. The range of classes is good and so is the menu at the attached restaurant. (Take note: it's vegetarian not raw food. You still have to head out to Nashville if it's the latter you want.)
Class-wise, many of the teachers seem to be novices, but they take teaching seriously and they have real promise. On that score, heart-centered Anusara yoga stands out. Power yoga and hot Hatha also come recommended, and there's Pilates plus a class or two with

This is one of my favorite places in Knoxville. I love the vibe and the small size. Yoga, massage, and super healthy food in one place.
Food/Drink:
The smoothies are incredible, especially the "Swampy Afternoon" which has berries and almond butter as the main taste. They are expensive, but one is/should be your entire meal. The sandwiches usually are wonderful as well and change every week.
The chef is very creative and health conscious, so you'll always find raw foods or soups. The fruit is fresh and the salads are complex. Over all, the menu is small, but unique (for

This place offers a wide variety of yoga classes. I enjoy taking yoga here. You can drop in to any class or you can buy a pass which may save you a few bucks. They also offer pilates. On Sunday there is a donation based class which begins at 1:00pm. Get there early for a promised spot because she does have to turn people away because the class gets so large.
If you are sore they give massages which I am looking forward to enjoying one day.
The food here is very good. The cafe itself is closed on Sundays but open every other day. They close on Saturday at 3:00pm and every other day at 6
