About

Welcome to New Moon Yoga LLC!

It is our goal to make the benefits of yoga available to people of all walks of life, and our schedule reflects a variety of offerings for all ability levels and interests. We offer drop-in classes, series and workshops, personal and group private sessions in the studio or in your home, yoga teacher training, and corporate yoga.

We are secular in our approach to yoga, though yoga by definition is spiritual in nature. Our yoga is completely experiential and non-dogmatic.

If you come to us wanting to explore the depths of consciousness,we have plenty to offer you. If you come to us to improve your balance or increase flexibility, we’ve got you covered. Stress relief? Relaxation? There’s no better place. And if you just want a sweaty workout? Bring it! We’ll hand your rear end to you in one of our vigorous classes. Paper or plastic?

New Moon is Knoxville’s top choice for beginners, we usually have one to three beginner series in progress at any time, so sign up for the next one! Our beginner series are appropriate for adults of any age and most physical conditions, though if you have a concern, please contact us.

We believe that regular yoga practice is the key to actually experiencing the many benefits of yoga, so we offer extremely affordable memberships so that you can practice yoga with us multiple times a week or as much as fits your schedule. We also offer competitive drop-in rates for most of our classes. See our fees page for more details.

This studio was born out of an experiment with teaching by donation. Though we found that business model unsustainable, it is still important to us to reach out to those who would benefit from yoga but cannot afford it. Our teachers are active in the community as volunteers, either as yoga instructors or otherwise. The studio has scholarships available for those undergoing cancer treatment and also offers hardship member rates should our fees be out of reach. There are a limited number of low cost vouchers for yoga at our studio here.

Yoga may not be for everyone, but we think it should be available for anyone who wants it!
