"Tom's class is a revelation. He helped me to make subtle adjustments in postures that I had been doing incorrectly for years, producing major results in my overall practice. His teaching style is both focused and relaxed and his class is really fun! I'm new to Nashville and I'm so happy to have found this class. Thank you Tom."

“Tom's Vinyasa Level 1 class makes exercise enjoyable for me. I've lost weight as a result and I enjoy the calm and relaxation after a session."

If you step into one of Tom Larkin’s classes, you can expect to not only get an amazing workout, but laugh and be entertained. One word to describe Tom is “hilarious,” but another word is “caring.” Tom can somehow focus on each one of his students in a 20-person class. He manages to make everyone feel welcome – but don’t worry, he will catch you if you are “cheating” in a hard pose. Oh, yeah, and Tom is an incredible yogi who can jump into challenging poses without even warming up.

They bring an amazing combination of strength and compassion to their team teaching and their energies compliment each other beautifully. Their transmission is a perfect combination of their current teacher and the variety of other styles and practices that that have influenced them. As a teacher and studio owner myself it was inspiring to see how they infused their class with a life of its own and how they were able to create such a noticeably collective experience. I truly believe that they have inspired a new movement of yoga here in the North West and I hope to have the opportunity to welcome them again to the growing community that they helped create.
