A community-focused yoga center in the heart of Memphis
I started Evergreen Yoga Center in 2006 with the hope of creating a friendly, accepting and welcoming place for anyone to experience yoga.
Practicing yoga transformed my life in all areas. Yoga helped me get stronger & more flexible physically. And it has given me practical ways to settle down my anxious mind.
I went to yoga class for the first time in 1996. It helped me feel more centered and relaxed afterward. Having tried seated meditation, I realized sitting still was not for me. I had low expectations that yoga would help quiet my mind and relieve anxiety, but it does that and more.
Gradually (and with practice), I have become physically stronger and more flexible. Then more centered. None of it happened quickly, but it over time small changes led to bigger ones.

Our Awesome Students
What I like about yoga, and particularly about the Iyengar method, is the focus on the cooperation of mind and body. The discipline of the asanas is a form of meditation, and that meditation releases the mind from other troublesome thoughts.

Sunday mornings, yoga is still my rock. Each Sunday class is different – sometimes in class I find myself anticipating what is next. Other times, I wonder if I will make it through. Even when I allow myself to peek at the clock during a class – I am ALWAYS better for going.
