Our Instructors

Our teaching faculty includes some of the most senior and sought after teachers in the world including Richard Rosen, Annie Carpenter, Leslie Howard, Yoko Yoshikawa, Vickie Russell Bell, JoAnn Lyons and many others.  Hand picked for their extensive experience, ability to make connections, and communicate effectively with their students, all of our world class faculty are equipped to break down a pose, offer modifications if needed, or suggest variations for students looking to deepen their practice. We encourage you to try as many classes as possible to connect with the specific teachers and teachings that resonate with you.


Amazing instructors: knowledgeable, generous, attentive and great at holding space for yogis to challenge themselves while feeling safe and non-competitive. Love the studio feel! It’s bright and lofty, clean and comfortable.

 Rent Studio Space or Yoga Wall Space for Private Sessions, Practice, or Filming

Nest Yoga offers high-end boutique style, bright and clean spaces with eco bamboo floors.
The front lobby is used for front desk, retail, and a seating area, great for meetings or connecting over tea.

There are two yoga studios, fully stocked with props. 
Front Studio (800 square feet) has a yoga wall equipped with ropes, carabiners and slings. Perfect for filming, it offers abundant natural light from the skylights. 

Back Studio is larger (1,000 square feet) and set further from Piedmont Ave, offering more intimate and quiet space.

Between the studios is a back lobby with bathrooms, more storage shelves, a water fountain, and some seating for breaks.
