Arden A.M. (6am classes)- Derived and influenced from Hatha yoga, Arden A.M. focuses on holding poses and integrating your breathing into the movement. This class is a great way to stretch, work your muscles, get in touch with your body, relax, de-stress and get ready to start your day!
Arden Power Flow- Derived and influenced from Iyengar Yoga, Arden Power Flow is designed to build balance, strength and endurance. This class is a workout. You will move quickly from one pose to another. There is little focus on meditation in this class. This class is a tough, physically-challenging workout.
Arden Lunch- Arden Lunch is a condensed form of our Arden A.m. yoga class. This class is shorter in time to ensure everyone has time to get back to work. This class has fewer meditation and breathing exercises than the A.M. yoga. This is a great class to squeeze into your day if you are pinched for time or if you just need to unwind during your lunch hour.
Arden Sculpt- Arden Sculpt combines our power yoga class with light weight work. When adding weights to our usual practice, it allows for even deeper stretching and deeper toning of the muscle. And if that isn’t enough to switch up your routine, we even sneak some cardio intervals in! Add this to you weekly yoga rotation and see a difference in your figure and flexibility.
Arden core pilates (mat)- Arden Core Pilates is a fast-paced class that incorporates Yoga’s smooth movement from one exercise to the next with little to no stopping, while focusing on Pilates moves that specifically target the core. Mat work is an integral part of Pilates: Instead of using spring resistance from Pilates equipment, you use your body weight against gravity. This is a great way to strengthen your abdominals and pelvic stabilizing muscles.
All levels are welcome in all classes. All poses can be modified to fit any level of strength, flexibility or balance. Yoga is a very low-impact practice, so all ages and body types are encouraged to join any of our classes.

Coming from a background in dance, Sarah always came back to yoga as her favorite way to exercise--despite trying almost anything. She is now certified in Pilates and Yoga. Sarah says she loves both of these exercise regimens because of how gentle they are on the body while delivering noticeable results and, best of all, a clearer mind. When she's not yoga-ing, Sarah works for local literacy non-profit Read To Succeed and lives in Murfreesboro with her husband and three-year-old daughter. |

She began playing on a travel softball team at 10, and her team qualified for Nationals. She was recruited by MTSU to play softball. A lifetime of athletics left her with an injured back from heavy weight lifting, so she found yoga as a way to further her physical advancement while nursing her injuries and fell in love. Caitlin now teaches at Smyrna Elementary and lives with her husband, whom she met at MTSU. Caitlin teaches Arden Power Flow and Arden Sculpt. | Lexie grew up in Chicago, IL.

Arden Wellness Services:
Meal plans, healthy eating habits, how to eat more
holistically, gluten-free eating, and weight loss plans.
Wellness consults: By appointment only.
The first visit and consultation: $60/1 hour.
If all information needed is prepared and brought with you,
one hour should be plenty of time for an initial consultation.
During your first wellness consult, you will go over a list of
things such as your current diet, medications, exercise, work,
lifestyle, etc. You will then decide on what your goal is for
yourself and how you want Arden Wellness to help you meet
those goals. After that goal is set, we will help you modify
that goal and make it one that is achievable for the
lifestyle you have and want, through meal planning, exercise
and class scheduling, and referrals to other specialists if needed.
$45/per 1 hour visit after first consultation.
Please bring any current (within the last 6 months) blood work, lab values and/or urinalysis, which can all be obtained at your doctor's office. Bring a food journal containing the last 3 days of all intakes (intakes= anything you put in your mouth). And please be descriptive: how much did you eat, ½ cup? A piece of meat the size of your palm? More than anything, be honest with yourself and Arden Wellness about your intakes on your food log. There is no judgment at our center. We are here to help you reach your goals and have a happier lifestyle. All Wellness plans will be designed to fit individuals, including lifestyle, home life, job schedule,
income or religious beliefs.

During the summer months when school is out, we will also have childcare during the Tuesday and Thursday 9 a.m. classes. To register your child for youth services, you will need to log into YOUR account on MindBody. After you log into your account, you will see a tab that says "my info." Click that tab, then click the "edit" option on the Family Member tab. |
Add your child's first and last name. Make sure you mark "yes" for pay for this person. Then save information. It is $6.oo for the child care room. Child care starts 10 mins before class to ensure you can get settled into the studio. There is a "Single Youth Services" visit option for purchase or a "5 for 30 package" you can purchase. If you have any trouble signing your child up we are happy to help: Just contact us and we can make sure your child is on the schedule. We are considering adding youth services to the Saturday 9a.m. class-Please give us feedback on this idea! Also, we love suggestions on class times and anything else you would like to see added at the studio. Feel free to email with suggestions at any time.
