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.

Our instructors can teach to any skill level, adapting poses, props and pace to fit each student’s individual needs. Our students experience a welcoming practice environment at Evergreen, designed to challenge each person according to their own capacity.
Founded by Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher Leah Nichols, Evergreen Yoga Center offers classes rooted in the Iyengar Yoga tradition. Iyengar Yoga is taught systematically in a manner designed to help students integrate yoga beyond the studio and into their daily lives. Each class forms the building blocks for future growth.

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.
