We have noticed a lot of change on the street from our small corner of 12 South. So we wanted to take a moment to reground you in some of our favorite go-to wellness spots.

Fahrenheit Yoga

This yoga studio brings the heat. We love this studio for so many reasons: the owners and teachers are authentic and caring, there is a wide range of variety and challenge, and there are opportunities to get to know others in the community. From Hot 26 to vinyasa, sculpt to yin—truly, there is a spot for everyone to move their bodies in meaningful ways. With so much change going on in 12 South, we are thankful that this studio has remained a staple. Bonus: being right next door to this yoga studio makes it super convenient to pop over to a class.

Pure Sweat Sauna Studio

If breaking a sweat in yoga is not your thing, but you still want a great whole-body detox, Pure Sweat is your first stop. This adorable little studio is set back from all the hustle and bustle of 12 South and offers a small oasis of healing. Their full-spectrum infrared saunas offer Far, Mid, and Near-Infrared wavelengths to warm your body at a cellular level, delivering a deep tissue sweat and advanced health and healing. Each wavelength targets a different part of the body to release specific health benefits. We love visiting Pure Sweat in the winter when we all need a warm wellness hug. They also partner with local wellness businesses in town to offer mindfulness events.

Hearts 12 South

Right next door to Pure Sweat is a cute little Australian-style restaurant serving up breakfast, brunch, and lunch. We get their matcha waaaay too often and are obsessed with all of their toast options (who doesn’t love a good crunchy and chewy bite?). We love to spend a Friday afternoon winding down the week at lunch.

Marathon Pilates

Claire can be caught sneaking over there most days for a quick but very effective class. The sweet teachers over at Marathon know how to bring on the burn while still making the classes fun and engaging. We love their focus on strong core, mind-body connection, and their ability to meet members where they are in their unique fitness journey. We are sad that they will soon be moving to their Charlotte Park location, but we are excited to welcome them back to the area when they (hopefully) open a location near 12 South again.

E+Rose Wellness Company

While not directly on 12th (rather, two blocks over on 10th!), E+Rose legit gets half of our paychecks. Each of us has our own obsession (Claire loves the Katalina wrap, while Amy and Clara’s go-to is the Nashville Hot Kale Wrap). From smoothies to juices and wraps, everything is made fresh in-store with wholesome ingredients that make you feel full and nourished. They also have fun partnerships with local businesses, like a wellness walk on Wednesday mornings.

While we love the changes coming to 12 South, we also want to recognize and promote all of the small businesses that are supporting sustainable wellness in Nashville—go show them some love!
